Use Draperies For Color, Accent Certain rooms require drapery treatment for the windows rather than sheer curtains. When furnish-ings are simple and need the accent of color, your best choice is drapery of some kind. Then, too, if you have an attractive setting outside the window, it may better be framed with drapes than with plain sheer material. Skimpy draperies are worse than no drapery material of any kind, so make certain that the draperies are at least twice as wide as the windows. If the drapes hang on ring or traverse rods and are pulled across the window at night, they should be at least two and one-hal- f times window width. Draperies may be lined or depending upon the amount you have to spend, and also the material used. If the room is too sunny and you want to shut out some of the light for decorative or fading purposes, then it's smart to use the lined draperies. Lightweight cream or sateen ma-terial is customarily used for drap-ery lining. Colored linings may be used also, but the color of the lining should not confuse the color of the drapery. Hold up to light to check. If the colors do confuse, use an interlining of cotton flannel. Relate Draperies To Boom Styles Draperies are an Important part of the room in which they're to be used, so it's a good idea to select them with care. They should be re-lated in style and materials to the room type in which they're used. Most draperies are that is to the floor of the room, but if you desire an informal casual look, they may be Choose an informal material for the draperies that are to be used in informally styled rooms: chintz, cretonne, percale or toile de Jouey. More formal rooms require the traditional fabrics: rich satin, brocade, damask or moire.- Modern rooms may have in them taffeta, linen, plastic materials, raw silk, novelty cotton, satin, mo-hair, chintz and textured fabrics. Quaint patterns in calicor, chintz or voile are good in Early American settings. If budget worries you, then con-sider paper or inexpensive plastic materials in appropriate patterns and textures. How to Select Fixtures, Trim With plain draperies, you might consider the decorative value of fringe and other similar trimmings. This may be used at the edge or the heading. Avoid trimmings of this type on draperies with texture and pattern interest as it will only draw attention away from it. Weights at the corners of draper-ies help them to hang straight and even and give them a professional appearance. They are bought by the yard and may be basted. Summer Suit ' ' ' f ' V fj . .

Does a particu-larly lovely scene outside require a proper frame? Or, would you rather close out an ugly view? All this and more can be accom-plished in any home with properly .selected and styled curtains and draperies. The style of the furni-ture can be accented with carefully selected style and material, and rooms can take their cue for fur-nishing from draperies or curtains. There's great freedom of choice in the style to select as well as in lengths and widths, but there are certain rules to observe for propriety. For example, if sheer curtains are your choice, you may have them sill or floor length, but not floor and window. If they're to be used with draperies, sheer curtains should be of the same length as the drapes. When sheer curtains are to be hung straight, you'll want them full and luxurious looking, no matter how inexpensive the material. Make the curtains two and one-ha- lf or three times the window width. IBP Let drapes and curtains ... Glass or sheer curtains always need a heading so they will look properly finished. Give them shir-ring, pleating or gathering, which-ever you like for the room type. Here are Facts About Tiebacks Should sheer curtains be tied back or hung back? This depends upon the style of the room. If Colo-nial, Early American, formal, Vic-torian, or Eighteenth Century Eng-lish, sheer curtains, may be tied back to be most effective. If the room is done in Modern, let the curtains hang straight. The best height for the tleback Is right below center of the window. If the curtains are tied back above the center, the window will look long and narrow. Tied too far be-low center they make the window look too wide. With small-panele- d windows, the tieback should be horizontal with one of the bars of the panel, so the panels are not cut down In size. Large ruffled tiebacks need to have a slit cut behind the heading of the ruffling so they can be tied properly without bunching the ruffling. Traditionally tiebacks are made of the same material as the cur-tain but this is not a hard and fast rule if you want to try for different effects. If, for example, you are using a chintz with sheer material, the tiebacks can be made of the chintz, or at least the heading or ruffle teamed with sheer material. How to Use Curtains Without Draperies When you want a light, airy feel-ing in a room, plan to use sheer curtains without the side drapes. This may be a room that is quite dark, and you want to bring in as much light as possible. Then again, if you have a room with an abundance of the rich ma-terials, you may want the relief from such material that sheer cur-tains can give. Many modern rooms, full of rich color and tex-tured effects, are good, too, with plain glass curtains, made full and hung in a straight, tailored effect. Those who are worried about giving their rooms the finished look site (kL add the decorative note. with curtains without the benefit of draperies, have several solu-tions: painted of fabric-covere- d cornices, gathered valances of the same material as the curtain or a contrasting material used else-where in the room, and brackets at the side of the window. For glass curtains, use sheer materials that reflect tones of white, peach, yellow or pink. Net and scrim are always appropriate, but others to use include ninon, SEWING CIRCLE PATTERNS Fashion-Rig- ht for All Occasions That Wonderful Capelet Collar , I 8703 J4?r 12-- JA Simple Frock A simple, youthful looking frock that's designed for cool com-fort all summer.

Carter and Lil Neill have engaged in the most important business in the world. Of course it's a tiring and expensive and nerve-rackin- g job, what else could it be? Of course it takes every bit of money they have, and the money is the least of it. But what a harvest they'll reap as these babies grow into lovely youth, and they have girls and boys in the house, turning to them, help-ing them paying them back hours of happiness for every one of to-day's minutes of care. Growing up is a painful business. But if every couple who married saw marriage as a time of growing up, a chance to be better and strong-er and less selfish in the new life, what a world we'd have! There are a great many vocations and em-ployments for women today, but Lil has the best of them. Years of rest are ahead for Lil and Carter. And what will be one of the heartaches of those years? Why, looking back to just such mornings as the one on which Car-ter wrote me his good-nature-complaint. He and Lil will turn over the photograph albums then with a long-ing backward look at the days when they brought Kittens home from the hospital and Tom broke bis leg and Penny strolled away and was lost all day. If anything in life is worth while, the nursery is worth while. If any-thing in life fills the hearts of a man and woman with a joy that no other earthly sensation touches, it's when their children are about them, and the line of little faces looks up grinning over its oatmeal. Carte? knows he is lucky. "TITHEN LIL and I were first married we had a lot of fun," writes a husband from Wichita. "We danced, we had a gang of pals, we had wedding pres-ent checks to fix us up in a nice place, and, darn it," Carter Neill goes on youthfully, "Lil wore pretty things, we went off for summer week-end- well we had fun! It makes me mad to look at the old snapshots in her books. Swimming, tennis, weeny roasts, beaches, and the rest. "Now it's nine years since we've had any of that. I make twice as much money, but we never have a cent. Do you want to know the reason? I'll tell you. It's Babby, 9, Tom, 8, Patricia and Penelope, 5, Gary, 3 and Kittens, 1. Yessir, we have six of 'em. Twenty-fou- r meals a day, how's that? And enough cook-ies and chocolate bars and potato chips in between meals to set up a grocery. "Last winter we had whooping cough in November, and the coughs stopped at Easter. We thought we were going to lose Penny. Lil has a washing machine, bought with some of the thousand her father left her, and Babby's a swell help. But my kick is that there is never a moment of peace in this house. If it isn't yelling from Kittens, it's Patsy and Pen tearing things to pieces, Tom crying because he does-n't like bis teacher, everyone asking if he or she mayn't have a pal overnight or go somewhere over-night. The big ones think we spoil the little ones, and Ihe little ones raise the roof if the big ones are going to a Saturday movie without them. By the Book "I bought a book," this harassed parent continues, "about how to raise children the modern way. " ... at bad fun ..." Well, Lil and I simply can't handle that. We don't go in for inhibitions and complexes. When Tom brought a $5 bill from school and said he found it, I took it back, and Tom got whaled. When Babby set up a martyr complex and said she would not go to a party in her old dress, Lil told her that was all right, she needn't go. She went, by the way; I took her. And she was the prettiest kid there. "We have a good-size- d place, fruit trees, and a shed I'm going to turn into a theater for them someday. They're good kids, too. But sometimes I think I'd like just a few weeks of the old freedom and the old fun, and to see Lil when she isn't possessed by anxiety for one or the other of the kids. What's life worth if you have to spend every cent you make for shoes, pancakes, cough medicine and didy dolls?" The writer of this letter. Carter NeilL is a hypocrite, and I think I would love him. He is bursting with pride in his four adorable little girls and bis two sons, as what sane man wouldn't be?

What a find for blouses, slacks, shirts, skirts, dresses! Slacks that will hold a sharp crease through laundering. Even your menfolk's suits will keep that band-bo- x look . liiip through days of wear. And for that sudden business trip, or vacation, you can pack his overnight bag with three suits, and he can unpack them as creaseless as when you put 'em in!

STOLE STEALS SHOW Those new cottons stacked up on your store shelves lend themselves perfectly to the versatile stole that is this season's big news! Buy sheer cotton, fishnet, or a colorful print, and make up a stole. Wear it over your sundress. Wear it as a sash to glamorize a solid-col- costume you're beginning to tire of. Wear it as a ruffle, a bustle, or an apron a different costume with each use! For without a stole, your sum-mer could be a fashion flop! Cotton separates are another so-lution for variety and economy. Start with a sheath dress, for in-stance, and add to it to taste. Add a duster of sheer material, or a smart jacket in contrasting or har-monizing color. Combine a T blouse of one shade with a skirt of another. Combine cotton with cotton, or dye uncreasable voile for a skirt, the same color as the broad-cloth blouse or vice versa! There's a limitless number of possibilities of combinations of cot-tons at your finger tips for the choosing from your store shelves. For cotton is still the prime nation-al favorite textile fiber, being used more than wool, silk, flax, rayon and all other fibers combined. For durability, it can't be beat! They even have proved that cotton bales stored for more than 80 years have been found in excellent condition. HOUlEiip Commercial rug shampoos are available for washing rugs at home, but ordinary mild soap can be used. Mix up a pail of luke-warm water with rich, mild suds. Soak a cloth in the suds, wring it out partially and scrub a small area of the rug with it. Dip an-other rough cloth in a pail of luke-warm clear water, to which a little powdered alum has been add-ed, and wipe off the suds with that. ' Oil spots on concrete can often be removed with cleaning fluid. If the spots are old, though, mix up a paste of cleaning fluid and fuller's earth. Spread the paste on the spots and wait until it's completely dry before sweeping it off with a broom. ONCE OVER- - Supreme Court Bans Bell Ringing By H. I. Phillips we know why the United NOW supreme court has been acting so ornery about things lately. It used to be steady-goin- g and de-pendable. But for some years it has been irascible, disputative and un-reliable. The cause seems clear. It has been bothered by brush sales-men. This was revealed the other day in a sharp decision declaring, to all effects, that no salesman has any right to ring a doorbell without permission of the housewife. And written permission, too. The court held constitutional the right of any community to pass such a law. It showed less disagreement than In any case in years. (There were a couple of dissents, but these were from justices who never answer a doorbell anyhow, and just yell down "Scram.") T. Aristotle Winch, of Winch, Winch, Smathers, Winch and Winch, this department's favorite attorney (who worked his way through col-lege selling magazine subscriptions) declares the court off base, how-ever. He cites Hubble versus Flat-foo- t (506. Mass. 84) which held that a doorbell is a doorbell and is put there to be rung. "Indeed," reads this decision, "if there is a doorbell on a house and it does not work, a salesman may even be within his rights in heaving a rock through an upper window." Mr. Winch also cited Bottle- - fly versus Mrs. Potts (86. Conn. 325). In this case Mrs. Potts was forced to chop the foot off a book salesman after he had (tuck it In the doorway. Bottle- - fly sued for a new foot. The court suspended Mrs. Potts' hatchet license saying, "Even if she had been summoned down-stairs for the fourth time that morning by peddlars, the sales-man was within his rights in trying to advance literature. The practice of inserting the foot in a doorway has been long allowable under common law. The argument that the defend-ant had a right to hack his foot off because she suspected that, failing in his effort to sell her a set of books, he would try to put over a vacuum cleaner, is hereby dismissed." Then there is the ruling In the case of Haddock versus Crumps (46. Illinois. 76). Here Haddock, a young man, called to sell Hector Crumps subscriptions to seven periodicals, saying he was working his way through college. Crumps threw him off the porch, holding that Haddock was at least 37 years of age and that this was his six-teenth season of working his way through college. The court held that for every doorbell ringer 37 years of age seeking an education there are hundreds much younger, and their right to operate must be protected. The most novel ruling, however, came in Stuffle versus Wimpus (33. R.I. 8197). A young man rang the bell and proposed that the ten-ant go to college while he moved in, subscribed to all the magazines and did the housework. Wimpus, the de-fendant, hit him with a chair.

Much to the joy of young and old, three drugstores in McMinnville got into a price war on ice cream. One store's newspaper ad re-ducing ice cream prices up to 50 per cent was matched within hours by circulars distributed throughout the town by two other stores. Sample prices were 28 cents for a regular 55 cent quart of ice cream. |
