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

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.

"Tlmrp nrp (t:iVK when lift crows

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

get out of yourself and stay out
for awhile.

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.

HILLS AND
p,y i!i:nhy r. vurm
"I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills from whence cometh
my help," sang a field laborer in .Bible times. .Many have
looked, as he did, and have received a spiritual reward from
looking.
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,

with little trouble. While it climbs

Are We Responsible?
To tho Kdllor P. T. A. Column:
Have we, as purcut-teachers, any
i responsibility towurd the child
who starts out on tho road that
i leads to destruction? Is there any
'thing we can do about it?
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."
! And when new mothers como to
lour meetings do we make friends
i of them? Honestly, now, do we?
.j. If they happen to belong to the
I same social class, why yes, we do,
of course. ......
,j. Hut if tho new mother is hnndi
papped in any way; if she Is ill nt
, oaHO and lonely, do we leave our
a i own friondst to make her fool at
,j, . iioine ami in icasi K've, iter an op
a I portunlty to counsel with us over
her problems
Perhaps she is seeking help.
Maybe she sees her own child i
starting out wrong and feels help
less. Does she leave tho meeting
feeling ;lail in the possession of a
new friends, who will slam) by
when needed? 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.

And one of courage flung

Jim came out nnd said, "I have a
surprise for you,"
"Oh, what Is it," echoed the
boys,
"Como, nnd I will show you"

the burn yard.
In tho barn was the cutest little
calf that ever was. He was black
and white and had the biggest eyes
that looked so timid and gentle.
