Second Section Six Paget Ih1 Twit) tliirJ War Wwkiy Kill;. nlh Ymf W TTp-to-date Baby Buntings are not necessarily w replied iu rabbit skins. A quilted crib cover like the one shown here, with two alert pink or blue banniea standing guard od It, answers the purpose jtist as well. The vogue, for quilted things la par ticularly keen right now only In stead of the old, laborious quilting which required a frame to work on and the tiniest of flue stitches, present-day quilting has been much sim plified. The design shown can be worked in a comparatively short time or an even simpler pattern can be selected. The materials required for making this attractive baby's quilt are two flour bags, bought from your baker for a few cents, three-quarters of a yard of wool batting, half a yard of plain gingham, pink or blue, and mereeriKed embroidery twist to mateh. Ordinary sheet wadding will do but the kind that cornea already Special Recipes Main Loaf r 2 cups o! ground ham ('Unrnok erl), 1 cup of ground beef, I cup of cracker crumbs, 1 cup of milk. Form into a loaf and place In baking dish and pour over it a can of tomato soup. It is very nice lo use sweet po tatoes. Parboil, ihen when they nrt well cooked, place around ham loaf and let It brown nicely. Delicious Oyster 1 quart of oysters, 4 tablesponns ful of oyster liquid, li tablespoons f ut of cream, 3 pints of, cracker crumbs, pound of butter, .Make in two layers and bake in moderate oven until nicely brown ed and oysters are well cooked.

To remove the stamping, cover tha inked spots with lard or soak them j in kerosene overnight. VTben wash the bag out In lukewarm water. j The bunnies are first cat oat of ; the gingham and appUqued to the stamped cloth. The eyes are enibrold- i ered in black. Then the wadding Is ; pinned or basted to the top and the I quilting is begun, always working j from the inside outwards. A fairly short running stitch is used, going j all the way through the wool sheet- ing. mien me qunuug is uone, une the second flour bag to make the bark and bind all the edges with a two-inch fold of the gingham. A small baby pillow to match, only worked without the wool lining, is an attractive addition and ran be made ont of the strips left over from cutting out the crib cover. Wedding Costumes and Superstitions Most of us (possibly all of us) are interested in weddings. "We are all more or less conversant with different customs and super stitions connected with weddings. Though, perhaps, we do not actu ally believe in these customs and superstitions, still, we have a feel ins that something minht happen if we disregarded them entirely. There is fin old superstition con- j ocrning colors of our wedding gar ments. This is told in the follow ing (rhyme: Married In gray, you will go far away. Married in black, you will wish yourself back. Married in hrown, you will live out;! of town. j Married in red, you will wish your-I self dead. ' Married in pearl, you will live in a whirl. Married in green, ashamed to be so en. Married in yellow, ashamed of your fellow. Married in blue, he will always be true. Married in pink, your spirits will sink. Married in white, you have chosen aright. Then there are also the follow ing rhymes for the different months, which predict that: Married when the year is new, He'll be hiving, kind and true. When February birds do mate. You may wed, nor dread your fate. If you wed when March w i n d s blow, Joy and sorrow both you'll know. Marry in April when you can, Joy for maiden and for man. Marry in the month of May, And you'll surely rue the day. Marry when June roses blow. Over land and mm you'll go. They who in July do wed Must always labor for their bread. Whoever wed In August be Many a change Is sure to see. Marry in September's shine. Your living will be rich and fine. If in October you do marry. Love will come but riches tarry. If you wed in bleak November only joy will come, remember. When December's snows fall fast, Marry, and true love will last. We hate to reject the old verse In which our mothers, our grand mothers and our grent-grandmof It ers believed. This rhyme tells us to marry on Monday for heajih, Tuesday for wealth, Wedne-d:ij- the best day of all; Thursday for loses, Friday for crosses. And Saturday for no luck at all.

Queries per taining to problems of this kind may be addressed to Miss Sued icor, care of Women's Depart ment of the Mail Tribune. "Tlmrp nrp (t:iVK when lift crows tfto bitter to be borne; when work t and woe close in upon you like u vise. When you are besought and bedeviled by ladies in politics, by relatives in tantrums, by friends in their cups. When our duty h.is filed away upon you until you are too drab and dreary to stagger on. Then you must escape and to every man is given his own exit." Then is the time to buy new clothes, to ride a pet hobby or to re-do a room or two. At any rate get out of yourself and stay out for awhile. Query. Are parchment shades still good? Mrs. J. K. IX Answer. Yes. only they must be simple und plain.

(P) At the age of 80 years Mrs. Ade laide Moulton, of Kennebunkport has St a living descendants. They include nine children, 44 grand children, 45 great-grandchildren and one great-great -grandchild. ; The death of Mrs. Moulton's husband eight years ago was the first in the family since two infant daughters died 4 years previously. The greuter number of Mrs. Moul tonlit children have not moved far away from her, most of them be ing residents of Lower Kennebunk Village. Mrs. Moulton was born in York, Mo. Spring Hosiery Concentrates on Natural Shades Having run the gamut of all the colors in the rainbow for several seasons, hosiery for spring and summer has settled down to a few shades, with beige leading. Little pure white will be worn, even with the all white frock or ensemble. Pure white does not harmonize with the new "white Jade" kid al ready becoming so fashionable, nnd so a light, natural beige takes its place. The spring hosiery col ors allQtcnd toward the beige tone and may be slightly yellow or slightly rose. To harmonize wiW the season's undecided dus'0 tones In all colors, the hosiery shades nre also n hit undecided and dutsy or grayed. This ts rather a relief from the strong pinks, yellows and tans and the hard grays that have called undue attention to feminine legs fr several s'asons. For sport the sheer lile hose have firmly established themselves and ore much smarter than silk when worn with tweeds and wool sports clothes. The smart colors are the same as for silk hosiery. For evening w ear the nude or flesh colored hose are still in vogue. MEDFORD, OK EG OX, SUNDAY, APRIL 1. 19'J8.

Kaeh day when' we see the bills of our country they are the same as they always were before, and this is th symbol of God's unchanging nature. Kaeh evening when we look at them we see their familiar forms outlined against a kIowIhk western sky, and as the sun sinks lower they are clothed in the crimson mystery of heaven. In this way the hills are the revelation of fJod's beauty. All through the years we see them resting like some patient body of power, upholding on their shoulders the weight of all the heavens. In this appearance they are the picture ol (bid's strength. Put there could be no hills if there were no valleys b'otween them, nor can we approach them to behold their greatness and beauty unless we come by way of the valley at their feet. So also when we look to Ood and cry for help we are standing In the valley of our need. We do not understand the wisdom of His ways which allows us to walk In the valleys of life's unpleasant experiences Instead of u I ways on the heights of Joy. Put we know that if we look upward to the hills which reveal Him. we shall behold them as forms of glory whsoe radiance will make of every valley a vale of light. If the plants in the window gar- den are matching growth with the lengthening days, they may require some stimulant. He cautious in the use of any plant food, and never give It to a plant that is not mnking vigorous growth. An Old Favorite Comes Back With the developing Interest In the arrangement of flowers In the house, an old garden favorito has regained Its former prestige be cause of its color as well as its ease of grow t h and this Is the nasturtium. It is an Ideal flower for howls, the flame-colored types In black or green bowls, being fa vorite exhibits nt flower shows. No more brilliant color can be fur nished than by this most easily grown of annuals, nor i there any annual that gives a greater supply of bloom over a longer period. It is a plant for poor soils and revels In heat, nsklriK only a rea sonable supply of moisture In parching weather. In rich soils it Is likely to develop Its strenKtn in luxuriant foliage nt the expense of bloom, so do not give nasturti ums any fertilizer. It Is one of the handsomest of plants for edg inns and is perhaps grown best In this manner. The flowers nre mingled with the leaves in an artistic arrange, merit that is often imitated wit h excellent effect when the bloom Is cut. It makes showy beds as well. It slso Is a climber and an excel lent long trailer for window or porch boxes In city it pa rt mcnl s, giving a supply of flowers to cut with little trouble.

Kveryone of those boys nnd girls 'entered school as an innocent little that Kinder. That is tho time to j correct evil tendencies. The teach ers struggle manfully with the problem. Often they give their i own time nnd much hard thought .to tho correction of some wrong beginning. 1 Hut do we as an association do ! all wo can ? Do we study tho problem of de I tlnqticney? Do we make any honest-to-good- jiiess attempt to solve, it? J Or do we lie back on our oars, resolved not to "interfere, inur- ! mnriiK happily, "The authorities I will attend to that. 1 must look 'out for my own children." !

If sho doesn't, who Is an blame? And, anain, do wo go out after these mothers who are struggling in deep water? It Is a sufo assertion to mako that, if, as an association, we gave one-tenth, one-hundredth part of the time nnd anxious thought to the delinquency problem that the "authorities'' do, we would bo able now and Ihen to save some child from the path that, leads to de struction. A MOTHKK. Abounding Peace There Is no physician like cheer ful thought for disslpnting the 1Mb of the body. Thero is no comforter to com pare with good will for dispersing the Bhadows of grief and sorrow. To live continually in thoughtR of ill-will, cynicism, suspicion and envy, Is to bo confined In a self made prison hole. Hut to think well of all, to he cheerful with all, to patiently learn to find the ood in all such un selfish thoughts are the very por tals of heaven. And to dwell dny by day In the thoughts of peace toward every creature will bring abounding peace to their possessor.

Interest In this age of quantity production nnd standardi zation is revealed In the present enterprise of Nicholas Vaslch of Seattle. Commissioned by Mlscha FJmon to crente four Instruments for him, this young violin maker has direct ed his search for woods to Kuro pean cathedrals. In his quest there ts an unmistakable savor of ro mance. The specifications require fine woods, "the finest tnnt money can buy." In the very age of some of the great church structures is the promise of n successful fiuest. For It is well known that woods of centuries' seasoning have a reso nance superior to those cut from present growth, no matter whaX their grain or fiber. It is not hard to believe that long association of these ancient wod w 1th the Joys nnd sorrows of the race ' have mad q them the communicative repositories of hu man feeling.

An V ii usual Kgg Uncle Jim lived close to his nephew Teddy, so Teddy nnd all his little friends played thoru and they had great times In the big barn, lie nover seemed to mind when tho boys mussed up tho yard nnd kindly lent them hammer, scrow-drlver and nails.
