SPEARS: The curtains I made from your Book 1 SEWING, for the Home Decorator, are so smart and modern mod-ern looking that they have given our living room an entirely new appearance. Right now I need an idea that will pep up my kitchen kitch-en windows. Everything is up to date but the curtains. They look old fashioned. The color scheme is red and white, but please don't tell me to use red and white checked gingham because I have done that before. J. B." Alright, no checked gingham! How about some nice crisp dotted swiss with the widest red rick rack you can find for the edge? Then make a border around the top and sides of the window by pasting "joalloped red oilcloth on the window win-dow frame, using wall paper paste. Cut the oilcloth in strips first, then mortise the corners by cutting them on the bias. Start marking the scallops at the corners, cor-ners, as shown here, making the center top scallop wider than the others. The tie-backs for the cur tains may also be made of the red oilcloth. With the help of Book 1, SEWING, SEW-ING, for the Home Decorator, you can make many of the things you have been wanting for your home. Book 2 Embroidery and Gifts, is full of ideas for ways to use your spare time in making useful things. Books are 25 cents' each. Enclose 50 cents for both books, and leaflet illustrating 36 authentic embroidery stitches will be included includ-ed FREE. Address, Mrs. Spears, 210 S. Desplaines St. Chicago, III.
