HE DID THE CHORES HOW WITH COVERED HIVES. t j j j nx-nte- To the woman who is her own home decorator, the window curtain furnishes a new opportunity. Women GOO years ago used to spend a lifetime embroidering these hangings. The modern woman would scarcely think of making a life work of tapes- try. She cares more for bold, sketchy designs, that make a good effect with the minimum an ount of work. For summer homes, in particular, .there are very attractive curtains 'and portieres that may be embroidered at small cost of time and money. Ordinary materials like unbleached muslin, dotted muslin, cheesecloth or sheer lawns can be used, while for portieres or outer curtains, cretonnes, art linens, striped ticking or galatea and cotton or linen taffetas in plain colors give good results. A girl last winter worked a set for the living room of her country home that have called forth more admiration than curtains costing three times as much generally receive. The room being done in a soft gray, the curtains were made of gray cheesecloth of a fine quality. Down one side and across the bottom of each curtain was a border four inches wide of scattered conventionalized leaves outlined and darned in a soft blue-gree- The straight outer lines of the border were outlined and the spaces be- tween leaves also darned in. Rut four colors were used, all in the loveliest pastoral tints of green, blue, dull pink and yellow. At intervals of ten inches on the border was a large flower, the edges of the petals extending a half inch or more on each side of the border. This was worked solidly in a creamy white, shaded with green, the centers filled with yellow French knots. Heavy mercerized cottons of high sheen were used for the embroidery, and with the exception of flowers, which were worked in shaded stitch, the work was done in outline for the edges and plain running stitches about a quarter of an inch long to fill up all the empty spaces and give a glossy, surface. A girl with any small pretension at drawing could design such a border for herself. Draw two straight lines four inches apart as a foundation of border, scatter across it diagonally from edge to edge a conventionalized vine of any leaf; connect by stems an eighth of an inch wide, and at ten inches cross band with single flowers, such as nasturtium, wild, rose or chrysanthemum. The design is first outlined and then filled in with the darning stitches, care being taken that the coloring is arranged to bring out each separate part. This border, simple as it is, gives opportunity for original color effects. If desired the flower could be one used in wall paper or border. d - m i 1 Foster-Milbur- Wound Up the Music Box and Put His Child a Mass of Dreadful Sore, ItchCorkscrew in the ing, Irritating Humor for 2 Months Little Sufferer in Terrible Plight. i Disease Cured by Cuticura.

Supply the youngsters going to school with folded paper cornucopias, which come in sealed packages for a small sum. These are used for drinking cups instead of those found in public places. It is wise to keep a supply of these paper cornucopias on hand for those who travel and for the shopper when in the city for a day. Teach the children to make these use ful little drinking cups from clean white paper, and there will be no danger of contracting disease from a drinking cup used by every one who passes by. a t 2 i Save Scrubbing Brushes. Bad usagq is, more often than not, responsible for the short life of a s scrubbing brush. Aft really er using the brush, never lay it upside down, as any moisture on the bristles will 6ink into the back and make the brush soggy. For the same reason the household broom should never be placed in the corner with the straw part upward. Instead, fasten it to a catch in the wall by a piece of string tied firmly to the end of the handle or run through a hole in it. first-clas- Cleaning the Sewing Machine.

For fever patients or those on and albuliquid diet I find Grape-Nutmen water very nourishing and refreshing. This recipe is my own idea and is made as follows: Soak a teaspoonful in a glass of water for of Grape-Nut- s an hour, strain and serve with the beaten white of an egg and a spoonful of fruit juice Jor flavouring.
