New Window Curtains Give Crisp Look vT" Use Stiffening At Heading By Ertta Haley BEFORE tho warmer makes its appearance, many a woman is apt to take a good look at her windows. The curtains look very dirty and sleazy after a winters heating.

Mst of them require only long stretches of straight seams. There's no fancy stitching or cutting, no elaborate patterns, and hardly ever any ripping If you follow the simplest rulek. Soft, full gathers will make the simplest materials exquisite when theyre made Into curtains. First measure the windows as to height and width. The curtain material should be purchased twice as wide as the window. You'll need at least two inches at both top and bottom for seam allowances, and from two to four inches for a shrinkage tuck, ao add at least eight Inches to window measurements on the length.

Northern Town Warmed By Drift Currents IUST If you like transparent curtains to hang properly. Its best to use some stiffening at the beading of the curtain. Usually three Inches or slightly more Is best. Firm crinoline or buskram are fabrics which are best. In measuring the turning necessary tor the heading, decide first on the depth of the pleat then turn the top edge in two inches more than this measure, allow a double turn ao the buckram will not show. When measuring the buckram, measure two Inches from the edge, because the top stiffening should not extend to the outside hem of French-pleatecurtains It's also possible to use washable buckram banding made with eyelets to form the French pleats. No rings are needed. The curtain pole Is slipped right through the eyelets, thus giving the necessary pleat. If you are putting in the shrink-agtuck of two to four inches, put this In at the top in a narrow beading above the casing. Or, to avoid the shrinkage tuck, wash the curtain material before sewing, and it will shrink as much as it Is going to, and oo allowance need be made. d never again worry about what to do with your purse when dining out.

This selvage does not show up in the new curtain, but it will almost always show up after laundering. Use Iron to Save Basting Stitches Professional seamstresses always work with an iron and ironing board set up, ready to use, in their sewing room. Many edges can be pressed immediately after cutting so that the fold is sharp. This may be stitched without basting. As soon as the curtain is cut or tom, turn the side seams, using an iron to fold them neatly. The hem edge on these is one or two inches when finished. Press first a quarter of an inch turn, then a second one inch turn. Pin the hem on the outside edge and then glitch, thus having basting. The top edge is turned in a casing, Dut this usually la basted first so that you can hang the curtain for a trial to see that it fits your curta-rod.

When mother married the family doctor, a widower," the letter what has proved to be goes on, a fatal injury to my development took place. I was not conscious of It then, naturally, but the seeds of what grew to be absolute morbidity were sown then. Sense Of Injustice Our stepfather loved Lily and me, but two boy babies came to take our places, and at 12 .and 14 we were sent to boarding school. Our happy country summers and the letters and packages from Mother never could remove our sense of deep Injustice and it has colored both our lives. Idly never married and has worked for years In the county home for mental cases. I have married twice unsuccessfully and now feel that while my present husband Is an absolute angel, I am too alck, weary and disillusioned to be a good wife for him or good mother to my boya, now 17 and 5 years old. "It was my psychoanalyst who, searching painstakingly through my past, unearthed this unhappy situation In my girlhood and has helped four-roo- m n at 29, taking a second mate, for happy years of motherhood and companionship was that such a crime never to be forgiven? "Mother, says anothet part of Dianas letter, was always trying to make us like Uncle Rob, as we called her husband. But we saw through her devices." In other words, you and Lily were ungracious little jealous minxes and did all you could to ruin your mothers chances for happiness in her marriage. I'm all for modern psychological methods when they deal with the problems of the immediate present Many good doctors and teachers and all good mothers know how to handle those cases that arise In connection with almost every childs development Their adroitness in analysis and method is amusingly evident to those of us who can remember our own young vagaries, inhibitions and fixations only under simpler names. As long aa the psychologists take today, tell their patients just whats wrong today, then Im with them. But when they encourage us to dig Into the past, to discover that at four months ones bottle was late In arriving and at three years Mother said she already had kissed us goodnight and was going downstairs now and that these heinous crimes lived on and malignantly affected all our later years, then that ia sheer nonsense.

Its latitude is 70 degrees 40 minutes north about 10 minutes farther north than Point Barrow, Alaska. It is a prosperous city and has a normal population of several thousand. In spite of its northern latitude, Hammerfest enjoys a comparatively mild climate; the average January temperature is a little below freezing and the harbor is always ice free; this is attributed to mild westerly winds, t!e drift currents of the Gulf Stream andor those of the North Atlantic.
