ON THE HOME FRONT with RUTH WYETH SPEARS

'T'HIS is another design in the ** series planned to use up odds and ends of woolen materials to make lasting floor coverings. The design is very old and was made by other women during other wars. Dimensions are given in the sketch for making your own patterns for the links and the fleur delis. The shaded parts of the diagrams show a half and a quarter of the design drawn on folded paper. The dotted lines show how the pattern will appear when the paper has been cut. The design is outlined on the burlap by drawing around the cut-out pattern with wax crayon. The rug colorings have been planned to repeat tones in the room color schemes. ♦ * * NOTE: There are suggestions for preparing hooked rug materials and for making original designs in BOOK 5 of the series which Mrs. Spears has prepared for readers. Book 6 contains directions for a hooked rug that any beginner can make easily and quickly. Booklets are 10 cents

each. If you order both booklets you will receive a pattern and directions for the Add-A-Square Rug. Be sure to request it with your order. Address:
