Lid er] s expected The Women's Corner For Anything of Interest to the i and the Housekeeper In a recent edition of a magazine Miss Jean Murray gave forth some excellent advice for the not-wealthy housewife so that she may entertain without a great deal of cost. Miss Murray entitled the advice The Deeper Meaning of Hospitality. She says: "A married friend was bewailing the fact that she could not entertain her friends, Her husband, it seemed, had had an unfortunate year in business, and domestic econo-! mies were imperative. "Although feeling sorry for my friend, I could . hot help wondering why she should think to surrender her friends, shutting them out of her life now that she had more need of them than ever, N "1 recalled a dear old friend of my mother's, who, although reduced in cimustances, managed nevertheless to kecp her circle of friends intact and to enjoy their friendship until' the last. She had listened to the voice of wisdom and greatly benefited thercby, Left a widow, with a daughter to educate, she had taken a smaller house and let a sitting-room and bedroom to a business woman. This arrangement helped consider- ably with the rent, and, as the rooms were not required, the plan proved eminently satisfactory, : It was, of course, impossible for her to offer hospitality as she had been wont to do when her husband was alive, All she could offer was a neighborly cup of tea or a quiet table of bridge in the evening. But these sufficed to keep her friends about her, for she made the very most of these humble forms of entertainment, "If you were fortunate enough to be invited to her home on a winter's afternoon you would find a bright fire burning in her grate and two hands outstretched to greet you, A tray, spread with a lace cloth (a re- minder of better days) and set with dainty china; a plate of thin bread and butter, home-made scones, and a nice, freshly baked cake, not to mention a dish of preserves, the cqual of which I have never tasted----these and the warmest of welcomes would never fail to bring cheer to the heart of the caller, nor wake anything but delight in the breast of the richest friend, "Moreover, being an intelligent and well-read woman, she could discuss the problems of the day in a most in- teresting manner, She seemed to make a point of avoiding the usual gossip and scandal of the tea-table, Her wit was invariably tempered with sympathy and understanding, and although she had always a great deal to say, she was the possessor of a soft and rather slow voice, conse- quently she never tired her listeners. "Of course, it is a mistake to ovef- rate the social and personal values of entertaining, but it is an 'even greater mistake to underrate them, Many people lead dull, uninteresting lives simply because they feel that to keep a circle of friends they must entertain them as they themselves would be entertained, Which is non- sense, "For, after all, when all is said and done, it is the heart that entertains, Money" has its virtues, but without the influence of the heart entertain- ing simply amounts to a social obli- gation which must be discharged whe- ther enjoyed or no, Which means that entertaining becomes mechani- cal: mere lists made out and care taken to include everyone lest of- fence be given and taken! The spontaneous and personal element vanishes; pleasure gives place to for- mality, joy to duty, and many people accept these invitations, often against the grain, simply because they might otherwise be "dropped"--which, of cqyirse, would never do! 'But if your house is a home where- in peace and goodwill, warmth and kindness reign, then you may be sure that whatever your eircumstanc- es you will find your friends always willing and eager to accept your hos- pitality, no matter how simple and humble it may be."

CHOICE I'll play the friend and let fame choose another, I'll take the jest and let the silver go; I'll try to be as brave as any brother, But I'll not drown undertow, in fortune's I'll do my best when I am called to labor, But still I'll take life's pleasures when I may; I'll try and find my greatness as a neighbor, And let who will tread glory's rugged way. I was born with strength to rule a city, I'd rather walk with men than pass them by, I'd rather show some signs of love and pity, Than come to fame no matter who may sigh.

Many of the old quilts were of historical interest. An old blue and white colonial bedspread was made in 1856 from the wool of two sheep which a thrifty old man had given to a bride as a wedding pres- ent, The days were sometimes long in the pioneer home in the east, and after the sheep were sheared, the bride coneeived the idea of carding and spinning the wool, and weaving it into a bedspread. After the wool was spun she dyed it with vegetable dyes, The husband re- turned from town one day with a crude loom and a weaver who taught the young bride the art of weaving, Cotton warp was sized, then wound on a, beam, each thread fed through the gears, The pattern was formed of quills made of writing paper and stiffened with flour paste, The blue yarn was wound on the quills and put in the shuttle, Then the weaving was started and the bride watched the pattern grow until a beautiful bedspread was completed, Seventy years ago another east- ern bride stitched a 'red lily" quilt for her hope chest, little dreaming that one day in.a place of which she had probably never heard, it would be occupying a place of honor, Down in Quebec in 1843 a little girl aged 15 toiled patiently over her loom until she produced a beautiful woven bed- spread, Years glided by and when she had passed her eighty-third birthday she patched a quilt, The two samples of her handwork were included in the exhibition, Very beautiful was arother quilt which had passed the century mark, : Many of the woven bedspreads 'were of woql grown, carded, spun, dyed, and woven hy the original owners. That they were expert in all these arts was evidenced hy the perfection of the work, and the soft, beautiful coloring, One bedspread of hand woven linen was made from flax grown, spun, ard woven on a Prince Ed- ward Island farm fifty years ago, Among the older quilts were the Prince of Wales Feather pat erns, the log cabin, rising sup, necktie, and many other - patterns whose names would no doubt be familiar to the women of a half century ago but are puzzling to present day minds, The exhibits numbered 76, and it is safe to say that an- other year this number will be doubled, as many of the visitors announced that they, too, had fine quilts packed away, but had not thought of bringing them out, SWIMMING TITLES WON BY CRIPPLE Chicago, March 11, -- Physicians and instructors once said she could- n't do it, but Jane Fauntz, 19-year- old Chicago mermaid, did it just the same, Gaining speed and grace with ev- ery year, Miss Fauntz, who once was injured so scverely in an automobile accident that she was told she could never swim again, won two national amateur women's swimming titles at the national meet at the Lake Shore Athletic Club, She outclassed a fancy field to win the national women's low board diy- ing title and after a few minutes' rest she came back to capture the 100-yard breast stroke championship. It was not only her greatest aquatic triumph, but the first time in the history of the women's national championship meet that a diving champion has won the breast stroke event, It was five years ago that Miss Fauntz was injured, and despite pes- simism of her physicians and swim- ming critics about her future, she trained diligently and today ranks as one of the outstanding swimming stars of the world, The accident caused a permanent limp, but it is hardly noticeable now. The slender Illinois Women's Ath- letic Club ace won the diving title with a total of 193.31 points, Georgia Coleman, of the Los Angeles Athletic Club, was second with 187.71 and Rose Boezek, of the Cleveland A, C, was third with 172.40. 3 In the 100-yard breast stroke Miss Fauntz defeated a fast field by a margin of several feet, Behind at the halfway mark 3he hopped her THE USHA WA DAILY 1IMES, MONDAY, MARUH 11, 1929 or telephone 35, Mr, Claude Percy, of Toronto, was a week end visitor in the city, * 8 0% Rev.
