New York world.l
A woman who has many original ideas
said to a reporter a few days ago:
''There is no earthly reason why houses
should look like barns for want of pretty
and inexpensive decorations. An idea
popped into my head the other night after
had retired and could hardly wait for
morning to put it into execution"
She pointed to very ''Japanezy" looking
portiere which hung between her sitting and
dressing room. 1t looked as if it might
have cost a snug sum. but she said it had
barely covered so cents. 1t was made of
small bamboo poles, sawed into short
lengths, and strung upon heavy cord like
beads, every few inches was an ordinary
wooden-button mold which was painted in
bright color as her taste dictated, the hole
in the center being drilled to size that
would admit the cord to pass through it.
1t certainly was effective, though the ex-
pense was so small. She had a second one
in progress which she said was to be all OF
the bamboo beads. every other one the nat
ural color and the ones between them col
ored. Water colors may be used in the col
oring of these beads, she went on to say, but
