Dear Louisa:
I would very much like to
know how to work popcorn
stitch. Do you think you
could include this in your
column in the near future? I
would very much appreciate
it.
Mrs. W. S.,
Galt, Ontario
As I have had two or three
requests for the same stitch,
I decided to write about it
this week. Of course, the
needles for any stitch depend
upon the yarn being used,.
plus the article being knit-
ted. The following is a good
basic popcorn pattern stitch.
The number of stitches
should be divisible by four,
plus°two.
1st row: Wrong side of
work, -knit one (star) puri
three together. Knit into
front of next stitch as usual
t
but leave it on left hand
needle, bring wool to front of
work and purl into the front
of the same stitch, but still
leave it on left hand needle.
Take wool to back of work
and knit into the front of tit
same stitch again. Slip stitcli
off left hand needle. This in-
creases two stitches in one
stitch, to make up for the two
stitches decreased by the
purl three together. The
working of a stitch in this
manner will be referred to as
"popcorn in next stitch". Re-
peat from (star) to Last
stitch, knit one.
2nd row: Knit one, puri to
last stitch, knit one.
3rd row: Knit one, (star)
popcorn in next stitch, purl
three together. Repeat from
(star) to last stitch, knit one.
4th row: As 2nd row. These
four rows complete one pat-
tern. One little word of ad-
vice, when working the sec-
ond and fourth rows, purl the
stitches so they will move
easily on the right hand
needle. This will keep the
popcorns soft and fluffy. •
For practice in working
the popcorn pattern, there is
a lovely baby set on Leaflet
1
No. 6725. The dainty jacket
has raglan armholes, with
little borders of popcorn
stitch at the fronts. The bon-
net has a band of popcorn
stitch framing the face and
an unusual stand-up frill just
behind the border. Popcorn
stitch is also featured on the
tops of the bootees.

This week's pattern is a
charming star-shaped doiley
which would make a lovely
gift for the up -coming festive
season. Quickly and easily
crocheted, it would be an at-
tractive addition to any room
in the house.
To order pattern No: 8251,
send 75 cents plus a stamped
self-addressed return envel-
ope. If you do not have a
stamp or envelope, please

New
Zealand
wonderland
By PHYLLIS WEAVER
Did you know that New
Zealand is a living museum
of natural history?
New Zealand's three main
islands have high mountains
and several active vol-
canoes. Two -third of New
Zealand is covered with
dense forests they call
"bush."
Since New Zealand is iso-
lated from the Australian
continent, it evolved a
unique assortment of plant
and animal forms. Most of
thesespecimens are un-
known anywhere else in the
world.
A reptile older than the
dinosaur, the tuatara, is
found here. And flightless
birds are a very common
sight in New Zealand, in-
cluding a parrot which lives
in underground burrows like
a rabbit.
Until man's arrival, no
predators existed here, then
the Maoris arrived in open
canoes, about 600 years ago.
Four hundred years later,.
Capt. James Cook, a British
explorer, brought settlers in
to colonize the lush land•
