During General Sher- ma n s exped i tion ag,tin'-- l Meridian, Miss , in February, 1864, Rutledge suggested to Ste-- I henson that men who had been so closely bound together by the hard- ihips of war would, when mustered nut 0f service, naturally want to form some sort of association to keep alive their friendships. After the war ended the two men corresponded with each other fre- quently and in March, 1868, they met by appointment in Springfield. 111 There they spent considerable time working on a ritual for the or- gamzation which they named the Grand Army of the Republic.

MAKE THIS e clipped to make a fluffy tuft. Well, that is exactly the way many of U today's smartest chair covers are made. A cover of this sort redeemed this old rocker and revealed its hidden charms, The cover is plain, medium green glazed chintz tufted with dark green yarn and three inch dark green fringe is used around the bottom. A long zipper makes a center back closing. Each section of the cover was fitted on the chair in the muslin lining first and these pieces w'ere used as patterns for cutting the chintz, also the cotton which was trimmed to be smaller all around. After the pieces were tufted, as shown at the upper right, the seams were stitched up. Long stitches were then made on the inside to catch the edges of the cot- ton in place.
