Brother and Sister Enjoy Gay Coverlets

Those jolly twins, the Brother-Sister Quilts, are ready for making. Seven patterns in each quilt, 14 in all, are placed on leaflets, one design to a leaflet. Two are awaiting your order, one Sister and one Brother design.

Children love these quilts and spend hours tracing the figures and exclaiming delightedly at the sight of well-known objects fashioned of gingham or print. All sorts of color schemes may be worked out accordingly to the ideas of the small boy or girl lucky enough to own one of the quilts or of mother herself.

Using tiny scraps of materials left from suits or frocks worn by the children is another joy when they detect these familiar fabrics in the designs. Begin these quilts prepared for you by the Beauty in the Home Editor, now. They made lovely, appropriate gift for any time of the year.

Leaflets No.1 and No. II will be sent you by the Beauty in the Home Editor of the Detroit News. Enclose with your request a stamped, self-addressed envelope for mailing, or call in soon at The Detroit News Public Service Bureau in the Majestic or General Motors Building.
