NEWSPAPERS MAKE A WARM QUILT ....
I have made a most successful mock eiderdown quilt, which is M warm as three or four blankets, writes a housewife in an exchange. Make out of old sheets a bag the size required for the quilt, leaving the top open. Kun coarse lines of stitches from top to bottom, leaving partitions of about a foot wide. Fill these partitions with newspaper torn up small. Pack rather full, as the paper soon becomes limp. Then sew up top and run a few lines of coarse stitches across to keep paper in squares to prevent it from moving. Cover with an old cretonne curtain or chintz, and tack clown here and there with strong wool.
