PATCHWORK BACK IN FAVOR

Early English Design of Very Simple Forms Have Been Restored to Popularity. Patchwork is again having its day. and yet more sought after than the silken quilt of many colors worked in octagons, in diamonds, and squares Is the cotton and cambric and linen quilt of an early English date, figured with the colored flowers and simple arabesques. Quite homely of aspect are the thick white woolen quilts for children’s beds, on which a retriever in black velvet or a cow in white and yellow is red velvet is appliqued. Simply delightful is the newest work undertaken for babies' layettes. The bassinettes and baskets most prized are those quilted with softest white Satin and embroidered with rosebuds, while the baskets are threaded with blue or pink ribbons and lined with white chiffon.
