HOOKED RUGS.
mrs. A. r. L.. Wheaton,

tMfSs "A. ~. Ass UWSubob
Mrs. j. w. NJ, Annandale,
deserves credit for wanting to
make hooked rugs in the old
way. 1t may not be as easy
to find materials for that pur-
pose as long ago when heavy
underwear and stockings OF
wool or cotton were worn, and
when old articles of clothing
were stored away just for such
purposes. But there are ma
terials to be had. Look for old
or used soft. stretchy materials
Of cotton or wool. Mems knit
underwear, which should be
dyed. is still good for that pur-
pose.
Today we see gay shirts of
the new kinds of fabrics worn
by boys and men which would
make beautiful rugs. Fabrics
with a pattern. such as plaids,
floral designs and stripes are
desirable for contrast to the
plain colors. Nom today has
no time to mend. so as soon
as an arm hole gets torn-out
goes the shirt.
Look at rummage sales or
get your good church friends
to get UP one. AS soon as you
get the feel of soft, loose or
stretchy material, you will be-
gin to find what you want.
Even small pieces can be used
for a bright touch here and
there. Any dyeing should be
fast so as not to run and dis
color the rug.
Buy good burlap for the
foundation. Get a yard of the
better stronger mesh burlap.
Buy a steel hook with a short
handle. Don't let anyone per-
suade you to get a shuttle
hooker. Start on something
small, such as a chair seat. In
cutting the burlap for this,
make a paper pattern first,
then allow for a hem all
around with extra material.
Basic the hem so it will not
ravel. Start with a stocking
which is easy to handle. Cut
off the toe, then cut round and
round the foot and leg, spiral
fashion, to the top. These
strips can be two inches wide,
but you will have to vary the
width according to the thick

One of the ruts a marriage
can get into is the lone-wolf-
family rut. These families stay
to themselves, seldom if ever
invite people to their homes
and Just as seldom go out So
cially anywhere. This may be
the result just of habit, or it
may indicate an antisocial at
titude on the part of people
who are lonely and unhappy,

verb. It is not the present itself
that we treasure but the thought
of being remembered. But the
present cannot be ignored. If the
gift is worthless, we do not treas
ure the thought of being remem-
bered. We want the gift to have
meant something to the giver. AS
Emerson said, our friends "must
bleed for us a little" It must be
some sacrifice or it means moth
ing. "The gift without the giver is
bare"
A fine siver was a certain man
mentioned in the Talmud. He was
in the habit of giving to list of
the poor on the eve. of the holi-
days. Once he was urged not to
give to one on the list. who. he
was told. had a weakness for.
fancy wines. "Oh." said the donor.
Il did not know he had such ex.
pensive tastes. I will have to dou-
BILE my contribution to him."
And there is the story of the
rabbi who would walk in front of
needy people on the street and
drop coins. He did not like to en-
barrass the poor by rendering
them a direct gift.
There is an art in giving. II was
said of President Benjamin 1ar-
rison that he would give a man a
job and in the act make an enemy
Of him. while President Mckinley
would turn a man down. pinning
a flower on his lapel. thus making
friend Of him.
Mckinley knew how to give at
least the appearance of giving of
himself. The colder Harrison did
not have this faculty.
Cast your bread upon the
waters. said Solomon. It will come
back buttered.
Most of us are not capable of
lofty giving, but some kind of CIV
ing is instructive in all of us and
there is perhaps the best proof
that man is somehow related to
the angels. There is a law against
stealing and many violate it, but
suppose there was law against
giving. Imagine the outcry. There
would be far more violators of
such a law than there are thieves.
Human nature demands that we
give. Who would want to have, if
he were actually forbidden to
give.
There are probably more gen.
fuses at giving than at receiving.
I really only knew one genius at
receiving. I shan't mention his
name here. but he was a we'll
known character in Jewish life.
He existed on gifts. One day a
clothing manufacturer sent for
him to give him a suit of clothes.
The mendicant took the suit of
clothes, leisurely examined the
