In Paul's case there has been an
other potent factor, too. That legacy,
those thousands, they're to be saved
and spent on the kids schooling, are
they? No adventure for him, no
freedom, just the routine of office
and club and home; just getting
older.
The psychopathic discomfort of
this time is recognized quickly
enough in women, but it is by no
means confined to one sex. 1t is a
little premature death, it is
wind from an unknown country,
blowing cOldly across ones dream
that youth isn't quite gone, adj
venture, new loves, new scenes,
may be close ahead.
Paul doesn't really want anyone
but you. He isn't fool enough to
think that any pretty l8-year-old
who would break up his home and
deprive him of his children, would
be worth bothering about. He
knows all about that bald spot on
the top of his head and that ex-
ira girth.
But he desperately wants excite
ment, change and spelling. Your
reproaching him, your tears, will
get you nowhere.
But get one or two smart travel
ing outfits, and plan to drive to
Canada, Mexico or California next
month. Persuade him that home,
office, children can very well spare
you both for six weeks. Convince
him by your own enthusiasm that
this matter of sacrificing everything
to the children's future needs is
all nonsense.
You will find in your companion
upon unknown roads and in little
wayside inns the joyous young Paul
you haven't known for some time.
That you look pretty and feel ad-
venturous and want to 60 off just
with him alone will work miracles
for his hurt vanity. He has been
jealous, he has been feeling unim
portant, he has been wondering
what's the use of this extra money.
Little trips like this may well come
to be the habit as we'll as the de-
light of your lives.
1t is part of our great American
tragedy of divorce that hundreds
of lost marriages could be saved if
mon and women could learn to re-
discover, when years have worn
away the fine edge of their rela-
tionship, the JOY of being alone to-
gether again.

you will have a rug that lies pam
cake flat on the floor.
Working with strips not longer
than 48 inches is easier than getting
tangled in the longer strips.
Braiding is a simple process, but
you must do it properly if you want
the rug to hold its shape as well as
wear well. The fabric must be held
firm and steady for a smooth, firm
braid.
To braid, fold in raw edges of
fabric strips, and pin or sew together
ends of the strips to be braided.
It's a good idea to fasten the end
of the braid to something solid like
a bureau drawer so that it can be
held firmly while braiding.
When it's necessary to let the braid
go, pin the end together firmly with
straight pin to help keep the braid
tight.
When you come to the end of a
braid, cut each strand to tapering
point, beginning six to eight inches
back on the braid. Whip edges in
by hand and braid the tapered ends
together. This gives a neat change
from one color to the other.
Finish ends of braid only one row
at time by braiding the loose ends
neatly together. Sew two strands
from one end of the braid to the
corresponding strands of the other.
Weave the third strand of one braid
over and under all the strands
smoothly together. Then sew the
long strand to its corresponding end
to finish the circle of braid
Hints on Sewing
The Rug Together
Raw ends of the braid must be fin
ished tightly but smoothly with
heavy button or carpet thread,
waxed for the utmost durability.
Weave the needle back and forth
between the two braids keeping
stitches at the middle of the edge
so the rug is kept truly reversible.
Do not stretch the braid as you
sew the rug together, or the rug
will cup in the center. Keep the rug
flat on floor or table.
Plan crocheted rugs just as you do
braided ones. The fabric used should
be one inch wide for heavy materials
and two inches wide for the lighter
ones. These rugs are reversible, too,
and so the strips should be sewed
together neatly and the raw edges
turned in as you work. Use a No.
II wooden needle.
To start an oval rug, begin with
a row of chain stitch. The length
of this first line depends upon the
size of the finished rug. For 81
by 30 rug, start with l0-inch chain.
Add stitches at the curved ends of
an oval rug if you want your sides
straight instead of curved.

Combinations

Plan Good Color
Combinations
It's not a good idea to use colors
Unfortunately when making rugs.
Plan the colors with definite room
in mind. Pick up a wall or drape
color, or several of them, and build
the rug around that.
If you're making a provincial rug
with braid, you'll find that dark
brown, tan and gold work well to-
gether. A nice oval rug can be car
ried out in dark green or jade green
with lime or chartreuse green for
accent.
If you want to use rcd, combine
it with dark brown and golden brown.
Wine and old rose go well together
and will add quiet charm to bed
room, study or hall.
It's wise to stick with two or three
colors that harmonic perfectly. If
there's need for brightness, confine
it to mere accents.
To get the colors you want, first
select the fabrics and dye enough
of them at one time, SO they will all

match. Save the dying job for one
day before you begin the rug, so all
this is done before actual work be-
gins.
If you plan the rug carefully as to
color and design, you'll have real
beauty in the rug. If it's made by
the hit and miss method, the rug
more often than not will turn out to
be miss.
Most authorities advise working
the design out in crayon first, max
ing the necessary changes, and then
preparing the material and working
out the method before actual work
progresses.
Braided Rugs Require
No Special Equipment

and do not need any equipment other
than needle and thread They grow
quickly into the size desired and are
a real pleasure to make.

the materials in order.
You will need two half-inch strips
of medium weight material to make
a braid an inch in width. Lighter
weight fabrics must be cut wider,
while heavier fabrics must be slight
ly more narrow.
The braids that look best are those
from three-quarter to one-inch wide.
Make all strips that 60 into the braid
exactly the same width even if you
have to use ruler with which to

Handmade Rugs in Revival;
They'll Make Home Cheerful
By Ertta Haley

nESPITE the present trend toward
- streamlined living with the
latest, smoothest furniture and other
gadgets for making life easier,
there's a curious revival OF hand
made rugs. No one can refute the
feeling that they add quiet, gentle
manners to any home, and the in
tricacies of their makeup never fail
to please.
If you need to relax and get away
from the feeling of having things
done at certain time, like doing
the ironing or sewing a dress, then
try rug making. It's an occupation
designed for relaxation.
Rug making can be done at odd
moments, for few minutes or few
hours. And there's wonderful salts
faction when the rug is finished, and
you can remember it with pleasure
every time you see it.
Materials for rug making usually
can be found in every home, so you
didn't have to lay out lot of money
for this pleasurable work when you
start. Worn fabrics in drawers and
scrap bags can be found in every
home. So can outmoded curtains,
dresses, torn tablecloths. cotton bags
and stockings.
All different kinds of fabrics won't
go into one rug, but you'll find that
these combinations can be worked
together: Wool and wool-like ray
ons.
Silks, fragile rayons and nylons
are exquisite, but very perishable,

years. He has been self-respecting,
responsible, admired. He has worked
hard to succeed in profession, home,
society. He has been priding him

Now he realizes suddenly that the

the thirties a couple is still on the

see the completion Of the first half
Of the 20th century. So far it has
been q century of amazing progress
and of terrible tragedy. We have
seen the world transformed. We
have seen mankind's age-long strug-
gle against nature crowned by ex-
traordinary success.
Yet our triumphs have been dark
ened by bitter defeats in the
equally ancient struggle Of men to
live together in peace, security and
| understanding. For this age OF
progress, this Goth century, has been
dominated by two terrible world
wars and, between the wars, the
worst economic depression in the
history of mankind.
Dedication to Freedom.
We must learn to do better. The
period that is drawing to close has
been one of scientific achievement
The era that is opening before Ills
must be a period Of human and
spiritual achievement.
We propose to continue to carry
forward the great chronological
gains OF our age. We shall harness
the unimaginable possibilities OF
atomic energy, to bring men and
women a larger, fuller life. But
there is something more important
than all this. With all the energy
intelligence and determination
which mortal heart and mind can
summon to the task, we must solve
the problem of establishing a just
and lasting peace in the world, and
of securing to our own and other
like minded people the blessings OF
freedom and opportunity.
To me, to be Republican in this
hour is to dedicate ones life to the
freedom of men. AS long as the
world is half free and half salve, we
must peacefully labor to help mer
everywhere to achieve liberty.

We have declared our goal to be
strong and free America in free
world of free men-free to speak
their own minds, free to develop
new ideas, free to publish what they
believe, free to move from place te
place, free to choose occupations
free to choose and use the fruits
Of their labor, free to worship God
each according to his own concept
of his grace and his mercy.
When these rights are secure ir

the Republican Party shall have
