TRIES TO CRAWL BACK UP BUT CANT MAKE THE GRADE ADMITS HIMSELF DEFINITELY STUCK AND CALLS FOR MOTHER Hook Posy Pad for Chair or Foot Stool By RUTH WYETH SPEARS \V/’HEN I made the sketch in ^ ^ Sewing Book 5 showing the method that our Grandmothers used for making original hooked rug designs, I forgot that Grand mother did not wear silk stockings every day. There have been doz ens of letters saying, ‘T would like to hook the flower designs for which you give directions in Book HOOKED IN SOLID COLOR WITH OUTLINE IN A DARKER TONE — DARK AND LIGHT COLOR USED FOR SHADED EFFECT HOLD STRIP UNDER WORK WITH LEFT HAND 5. Will you please tell me if I can use old silk stockings for these?” Silk stockings may be used for hooked rugs but they do not wear as well as woolen materials. They are perfect for hooked chair pads, foot stool tops and wall hangings. All the popular stocking colors may be dyed soft green, red and brown tones, without first remov ing the tan color. ‘‘White dye” should be used first if bright colors are needed. After dyeing, cut a strip around and around the stock ing spirally, making it from % inch to Wz inches wide according to how fine the work is to be. When your design has been marked as described in Book 5, draw the stocking strips through the burlap with a rug hook. Flowers may be hooked In outline or in a shaded effect, as shown here. And here is good news for all of you rag rug en thusiasts. Book 6 is now ready for mail ing. There is still another hook rug de sign in it; also a braided and a crocheted rug and dozens of other things that you will •want to make. Send order to: MRS.

"All the Traffic Would Bear" • There was a time in America when there were no set prices. Each merchant charged what he thought “the traffic would bear.” Advertising came to the rescue of the consumer. It led the way to the estab lished prices you pay when you buy anything today.
