WEAVING SILK PORTIERES.
Cut Pieces Half an Inch Wide -

Extremely attractive silk portieres

brighter the better. Cut the pieces
about one.half inch wide and sew as
for carpet rags. Sew all your solid
colors together, making one or more
balls of red, of blue, of black, or what
ever colors you have. Next sew all
your odds and end together as they
come, forming a hit or miss ball. You
will need a pound Of silk to a yard of

Next send to the weavers, who fur.

ideas. The threads of the warp are
about one-half inch apart. Unless 9th.
erwise directed, your curtains will
generally be woven about 2laX2 yards.
The length or width will be varied,

ATTRACTIVE CURTAINS.
The Soft Materials So Much More
Artistic Than Stiff Lace Cur
tains and Inexpensive.

Nothing improves a house so much
as the finishing touches of dainty
white swiss and soft nets. These give
a dainty and flmy effect TO- the win
hat is most charming and restful
to the eyes. The glare from outside is
mellowed and the folds give soft shad-
ows, which add greatly to the appear
ance OF the room insided. Why, when
we can buy such a variety of these
dainty draperies, Is there such a rage
for the ugly and cheap lace curtains?
They do not soften the lines of the
windows and they do look nice when
they are up, but they do look common
place, and any woman attempting to
make a room artistic would fail in her
plan by adding the finishing touches
OF such curtains. They have some ad-
vantages ] know. as they keep clean
longer than the softer materials, but
when they are done UP their last state
Is worse than their first. The starchy
appearance which they then take on Is
impossible for the home that aims to
be artistic.

CLOSED.

y twice the width OF the entrance to
be closed, and exactly the inside length
OF the same. For the standard three
eighth-inch depth entrance the strips
would be three-quarters OF an inch
wide; for the three-quarter inch en-
trance one and one-half inches. The
strips are next bent into shallow
lengthwise between two straight-edged
boards and letting half their width ex-
tend out to be bent down by the use OF
another board.
On closing the entrances, simply lay
one OF these strips down on the lot
tom-board with It's curved back" In
the entrance, and by of a piece
Of section box Gig. ~ push it into
place about half way under the end OF
the hive SO 1t will be in position as In
Fig. 3. This finishes the job. The
strips are easily pushed In but not out.
The sharp projections Of the cross
wires Of these strips will stick into
the wood above and below, and form a
truss" In such a way that, the more
pressure is put behind it. the finer the
grip will be In the wood. 1t takes
quite a pull" to remove them when
releasing the bees. Thu point OF a
pocket-knife is inserted at one enL,
then pryed out, and the screen is
caueh: by the thumb and pulled out
with q hard. quick jerk. There is nc
danger of these entrance-closers being
pushed In or torn off en- route. as they
are completely hidden out of the way.
Mr.. Jones has shipped bees closed In
this way in a car several hundred
miles without any trouble. When
shipping out small lots OF nuclei he
fixed them in this way also. Care
Should be taken not to get the strips
too wide or the teeth will not stick
