1t is with sincere regret
and sorrow, that we an
nounce the passing of:
Joseph M. Croes
Past Grand Master.
December II, 1861
Brother Croes was known
to all members of the Fra
ternity as a man devoted to
Odd Fellowship and the ser
vice of his Brothers and Sis
tiers of the Order.
A keen student of the
Code of Laws, there was
very little about which he
did not have the answer.
Many of us have learned
during the past years, that
Joe was strong support
upon which we could lean.
His passing will be a
great loss to Odd Fellow
ship. We who knew him
well, will feel this loss great
ly, and many terms shall
pass, before we can make a
satisfactory replacement, if
ever at all.
Our deepest sympathy
goes out to those of his
family, particularly to Sister
Perla, his wife, Past Presi-
dent of the Rebekah Assem-
bly,.
She and his family have
lost a husband and father
We have lost a friend.

SEAMS
TO ME
Fril|y Orgondy Bedspreod
A Joy to Behold, Easy to Do
BY PATRICIA SCOTT

I've never been too keen
about ruffles and frills on
clothes, but with a bedroom
it's different.
I think the only thing
prettier than a bedspread
with a ruffle is one with
two of them. especially If
they are made of white or
CANDY and lined in a color.
Ruffles are easy to make but
be careful and accurate when
measuring the bed for yard
age.
Follow the numbers in the
diagram for proper measure
ments. Be sure the bed is
made up fully with sheets,
pill )wS and blankets.
For the top piece, measure
No. for length, plus l inch
seam. plus IL inches for tuck
in. For width, measure No.
2, plus l inch for seam. Cut
one piece of organdy and one
piece Of lining. Allow extra
yardage if the fabric is not
wide enough for the width
without piecing.
For the side lining, measure
No. 6, plus Is inches for
tuck-in and seam. Measure
No. 5, plus l inch for seam.
Cut 2 lining pieces.
For the end lining, measure
No. 2, plus l inch and No.
4. plus l inch. Cut one lining
piece.
For the top side ruffle,
cut the ruffle strip 21a times
the length of the top piece
of the spread. For the. width,
you need Y the measurement
Of No. S. plus 3 inches for
hens and lap.
For the bottom side ruffle,
cut 2l2 times the length of
the side lining piece. For
width, use u measurement
of No. S, plus 3 inches.
For the top end ruffle, cut
212 times the width of the
top of the spread and the
same width as the top ruffle.
For the bottom end ruffle,
cut 21a times the width of
the lining end piece and the
same width as the bottom
ruffle.
To Make:
/. Pin the organdy top
piece over the lining and
stitch all around four sides,
leaving a l0-inch opening at
one end. Trim the seam and
turn to the right side. Slip
stitch the opening closed.
2. Make a narrow hem
along one long edge of the
side and the end lining. Make
a l-inch hem along other
edge. Lap the spread top u
inch over the side and end
Innings and stitch together.
3. Stitch the top side and
end ruffle strips together to
form one long strip. Do the
same with the bottom ruffle
strip. Stitch narrow hens
along the top edge of each
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-02-04

and at the ends. Stitch a l.
inch hem along the bottom.
4. Using the longest stitch
on the machine, stitch u
inch below the top of the
ruffle strips. Since gathering
such a long strip with one
row Of stitching can be diff
ficult. I suggest dividing the
rows into several sections.
Start the next row Just a
stitch or two away from the
previous one so that there
is no space between gathers
where the rows end. Pull the
gathering thread of each row,
and shur until the ruffle fits
the spread. Adjust the
gathers evenly and stitch the
ruffle over the seam that
joins the top Of the spread
to the side and end lining.
Both top and bottom ruffles
are made the same way, but
attach the bottom ruffle to
the lining so that the bottom
edges of the ruffle and the
lining are even. Stitch over
the gathering line of the
ruffle.
