The springs are then replaced and the bottoms sewn to the webbing. Next comes the tying. Cut a generous length of cord and tack it to the back of the seat frame. Using the knot ^sketched, tie to the back and then the front of the first spring. Continue across the row, finishing in the front, as shown. In the best furniture, springs are tied in this manner from back to front; side to side and diagonally across rows. About four ounces of the sewing twine and eight of tying twine will do an average chair. ? ? ?

Christening Ships In ancient times when a new ship was launched the libation (or pouring of wine) was practiced, consecrating the ship_to the god whose image she bore. The ac tion of blessing ships is alluded to by the monks of St. Denys, and records of ship christenings are found as far back as 1418, when the bishop of Bangor was sent to Southampton, England, to bless the king's ships for successful voy ages. October 20, 1797, the Constitu tion, first United States navy ship launched, was christened by an officer who broke a bottle of wine over her prow. Champagne is used because it is a rare and expensive wine and suitable, therefore, lor such an important occasion.
