An embroidery hoop or a flat darner is recommended for materials such as table cloths, towels, napkins and similar items to hold them taut as you stitch. If the fabric is sheer, move the hoop enough to make a loose stitch. For heavy materials, do not move the hoop much so that you can get a short stitch. Use strong thread for machine darning, but not heavy enough to pull away from thin or weakened fabric around the. hole.

This is too much of a job, and the dam may soon give way as its too weak for a spot which may be large enough to need a patch. Patch pieces may be obtained from other garments of same material which have lost their use, that often "He taketh the righteous away From the evil to come."

Keep an assortment of needles already threaded on a pin cushion in the box so that you wont have to stop to thread them. Machine Mending Saves Both Time and Effort Many women with sewing machines do not realize how much time can be saved by machine mending in some cases. True, a darning foot for the machine is necessary, but the time and small outlay required are well worth the effort. To make the darning as inconspicuous as possible, use a fine needle and a thread which matches the material to be mended. If you find it impossible to match the thread, its often possible to unravel some of the material on one of the inside seams. d fabrics such as wool tweed may be mended almost invisibly if you use the dominating color in the needle and the secondary color in the bobbin. Warp Two-tone- FRIEND, do you mourn the passing loved one today? Mother-in-La- w Wins a Daughter IS THE STORY of Margery of Toledo, 60 years old.

At 49 I was left with a few thousands in the bank, and two sons, both steady and both working. But Robert was killed at Coral Sea, and when Tom came back, a captain and decorated, he had to start over, and married almost immediately a girl for whom I had neither liking nor respect.

I disposed of gimcrack I could every 'old-lad- y possibly spare, mental as well as actual, and the first encouraging word Cathy said in a rather chilly, resigned hour of reception was a pleased, 'Is this all you brought? I determined to see nothing In her but what was good. There was a fat boy baby then, and another on the way; Cathy needed help, and although she would have said then that my help was the last she wanted, I proved she was wrong. You told me to keep my mouth shut, and God knows I say this In all reverence, for He helped me I did. You said to remember that he who would be first among us must be as our servant, and I was.

He was delicate. I took him up to the third floor with me, and they say I saved his life. I aired him on the roof porch, and cooked his meals on a swered the tiny alcohol stove. If Cathy and Tom had a dispute, and they did, being young and vital and deeply in love, I learned to smile and say, One of you is the most wrong, in my opinion. But wild horses wont drag out of me which it is. They used to laugh at that, and a laugh is death to a quarrel.
