TO FREEZE SANDWICHES?
mrs. L. w. B., MGndssGs)
Somewhere I have seen ideas
for freezing sandwiches so
they can be thawed and ready
by noon If taken from the
freezer in the morning. I
know all the foods we use for
sandwiches are not suitable
for freezing. Has any one had
experience in freezing sand
wiches for lunch boxes? I
am interested in the length
of time for storage, also.

AN-Wonon Jury
Served in 1856
Judith CotchpoIe Acquitted
In Famed Colonial Trial
By Fronces Lide

A jury trial which created a
stir along the Patuxent In 1856
is creating a stir again during
Calvert County's Tercentenary
Celebration.
Involved is the case Of Judith
Catchpole who probably would
have been forgotten to history
but for one thing-the jury hear
ing her case was composed en-
tirely of women.
The Calvert County Council
Of Homemakers has chosen to
dramatize the FIRST all-woman
jury in the new world" for its
float in the tercentenary parade
on Saturday.
The council president, Mrs.
Oscar Carpenter, pointed out
that this also was the only time
that women have served in such
a capacity in Calvert County
which does not now have women
on its jurieS.
According to legend and
sketchy court records, Judith
Catchpole was charged with
infanticide-the accusation being
that she murdered her child
while aboard ship on her way
from England to the American
colonies.
Her defense apparently was
simple, being based on the con-
tention that she had not had a
child.
The fair Judith was not per-
mitted to speak for herself. But
the five gentlemen sitting as a
court ordered that "a jury OF
able women be impanelled to give
in their verdict"
The case involved elements OF
witchcraft.
One witness Is recorded as
testifying that he had heard q
man say that Judith had cut a
maiden's skin off her throat
and the girl had not felt it.
Author Hubert Footner, re-
viewing the trial in his book
Charles Gift" speculated that
the tales against Judith origin
ally may have been started In
spiteful revenge by a rejected
suitor whom she had repulsed or
shipboard.
At any rate, the jury of womer
appointed to examine the de.
fendant were not swayed by the
testimony. Instead, they re.
ported that according to oul
tbeSt Judgment the said judith
Catchpole hath not had an.
child within the time charged.
A writer for the Baltimore Sul
| in 1903 described the jury a,
composed of 10 women and notee
that "this number is two les
than the legal male jury"
Evidently, this writer con.
tinued, "the women of Colonia
Maryland were quite as brain,
as their present-day descend

CAMPING OUT?

~. II. 81, lnG20n f7eGG/
We are a service family
being transferred to San Diego
sometime in October. Have
any of you readers had expert
ence in camping out at the
State parks? Our three boys,
ages 4 to IL, are quite anxious
to make the trip in this way.
We have a small trailer suit
able to carry the necessary
equipment. but I hesitated to
make the initial investment
for camping gear. Would 1t be
worth all involved, or would
motels be a better answer? I'd
appreciate any tips you read

QUILT PATTERNS.
Mrs. e. r.. S., Washington

For Mrs. L. v. D.. Falls
Church: Several years ago I
bought a booklet entitled
patchwork Quilts, which had
100 quilt designs in it. In it
is "Grandmother's Fam" for
which a full-size pattern and
directions could be bought. It
is Pattern Number 70, avail
able from the Needlecraft
Supply Co., 361 Superior street.
Chicago, Ill. I hope it is still
available.
mrs. E. S. M, Washington
I have two books Of quilt
patterns which I have had for
some time and am still using.
One is in color and gives dia-
grams for cutting. I think
the fan pattern in the col
ored book is the prettiest
shaped fan. The address for
this one is Virginia Snow Stu
dios, Elgin, Ill. The book is
Number 36A. The other book
has many lovely patterns; both
books have the fan patterns.
Both these boks are well worth
buying.

ANSWER TO QUERY

For Mrs. H. E. w., College
Park: I too had trouble for
years with my buttonhole at
tachment when I used it with
mercerized thread. Finally I
discovered that I was using too
large a needle. For mercerized
thread use size ID, for 60 to
80 cotton. When I changed to
that size I had no more
trouble. I hope this solves your
problem.
