Quilting

Answering your query
ABOUT quilting. I would by

be a shame to use machine
stitching on a handmade
quilt.
I recently completed .
lovely quilt, very finely quilt

quilting hoop, which is like
a very large embroidery
hoop. about % inches in di-
ameter and obtainable at
needlework departments. I
rrefer Nth Mt cotton

wool-both fluff beautifully
when quilted.
Be sure to use quilting

the short quilting needles.
for a better leverage on the
stitches. Quilting is very
easy. Just fine running stitch
eS pulled firmly, but you need
your work held taut by the
hoops for a nice job.
To prepare for quilting,
I spread the quilt backing
right side down on the living
room floor, then the cotton
batting over it. evening out
thin and thick spots. The
quilt is laid over that, and
basted through from edge to
edge-both wayS-at inter.
walls of about one foot. Place
the hoop in the center and
start quilting. I should be
very glad to help you further
If you care to contact me

HOW MARDI GRAS
HIT NEW ORLEANS

NEW ORLEANS.-It all
started very suddenly one
afternoon in 1927. A pre-
arranged signal sent a bevy
Of young jewellers in masks
and costumes roaring through
the streets of the old French
Quarter in New Orleans. I'm
prepared townsfolk making
their way home after work
found themselves surrounded
by the spirited rascals who
showered them with fistfuls
Of -four and dubbed them
playfully with stockings filled
with straw.
They stirred up the whole
quarter, shrieking merrily,
changing cowbells and blar-
ing away on horns. Then,
quite as spontaneously as
the raucouS had started, it
sharply stopped at another
signal. and the skylarkers
retired to attend q masked
ball.
Mardi Gras was born.

Steamships Top
Million Mark

NEW YORK. "A total Of
1,004,000 passengers travelled
eastbound and westbound across
the Atlantic by ship in 1856 be-
tween United States and Cana
dian Atlantic ports and ports Of
Europe, including the Mediter-
ranean. the Transatlantic Pas
senger Conference has disclosed.
The association Of Is trans
Atlantic passenger steamship
lines reports this was an increase
of 10000 over the 964, ZOO mark
set last year and is the first
time since 1890 that annual
carvings have exceeded the mil
Lion mark.
Joseph Mayper, conference
chairman. attributed the record
breaking year to two factors. In
1856, the heavy summer travel
rush to Europe started earlier
and lasted longer. April and Au-
gust showed substantial increases
IN tourist travel to Europe over
1855, with corresponding in
creases in the westbound return
travel.
The second factor was the
simple physical one that in 1856
more ships were in service and
could accommodate more pas
sengers.
Nearly every one Of the Is
member lines reports that dur
ing the peak of the high" sea-
son they would be carrying at
least two to three times as many
passengers If they had the ships
to accommodate them.

little evidence that Americans
have. Despite the tax, a relic OF
World War II, Americans have
found travel more irresistible
