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. 000 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.

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• if you hate to pay tax, read this: Panasonic together with M. C.
