being careful to have it perfectly smooth on
the glass. When all the panes are covered
with tissue paper. give each another coat of the
white lac varnish. One may cut simple patterns
in the paper before applying it to the glass, if
they like the figured glass best. Small feur- de
lis make good design. To cut the feur-de- lis,
fold and refold the paper lengthwise until it is
about an inch wide, draw halves of the pattern
on each edge, making them all the same size

Another. and perhaps an easier way to
cover the window, is to tack tinted silk or
silkoline smoothly over each sash Or use rods
at both top and bottom; but the silk must be
kept fiat and without any fullness. If the
material is shirred on the rods, it will not
admit SO much light. Cheese cloth stenci!ed
with an all over pattern and stretched tight,
in one piece, over both of the window sashes,
may please best of all. If well done, this will
have something the effect of stained glass.

WINDOW CURTAINS
FOR HOMES IN THE CITY
By ADELIA BELLE BEARD

TN the first place, unless the rooms are I'M
i usually large, do not be tempted to have
heavy drapery curtains at the windows
They shut out the light, take from the ap-
parent size of the room, and produce feeling
of closeness, although the apartment in reality
may be well ventilated. If the windows are
small in the name of good health good spirits,
and good taste, don't make them any smaller
by smothering them in layers of drapery.
Use thin material, bobbinet, fshnet, madras,
for curtains; not pure whitehall seldom

of wrapping paper, and then divide it into
eight equal parts. On the top and bottom
lines of the square make three dots three inches
apart and the end ones three inches from each
corner (AAA and BIB, Fig y. Then make
one dot exactly in the middle of each side line
(CD, Fig. A. Draw vertical lines from the
top AS to the bottom BIS, and from the left
hand c to the right hand D Gig. y. This
gives the eight oblongs into which the patterns

and bottom of each oblong into three equal

ecru; but the tape will probably be white, and
it should be colored in a weak solution of
coffee. Decide upon the design to be used,
then draw it full size on piece of white tissue
paper in broad black lines. Paste the paper
on the under side of the curtains, and the pat
tern will show through. Over the lines of the
pattern, on the right side of the net, paste the
braid, turning the corners flat and smooth,
and cutting the braid only when necessary
When the pattern is entirely covered, stitch
the braid down on both edges by hand or on
the sewing machine.
1t is best to draw the first patterns on a new,
smooth piece of heavy wrapping paper, using
rule and measuring the design carefully to
keep it exact. Fig. I gives simple design
which is intended for an all over pattern.
That is, the curtain is to be covered entirely
with the one pattern. 1t represents small
octagonal panes of loaded glass. Each pane is
SIX inches long and three inches wide.
The easiest way to make this pattern is to
draw perfect twelve-inch square on the piece
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1907-04-21

Pdi Us one lllCll loIiS ZEE,
Fig. 81, and the sides of
each oblong into three
equal parts two inches
long ORR, Fig. 81; then
on each oblong draw
straight lines from E to
r Zig. 81. Now there
are eight octagons.
Cut a number of
sheets of white tissue
paper in half, lay each
half sheet in turn over
the pattern, and with a
soft pencil trace the de-
sign on the tissue paper.
Basic only one piece of
paper on the net at a
time, and finish sewing
the braid over that be-
fore beginning another.
If the bed rooms are
quite light and it is not
necessary to raise the
shades more than half
way, use half, or Dutch,
curtains, which cover
only the lower sash.
Pure white cheese cloth
is a good material. If
it is of a good quality,
it will look well even
after many washings;
but it should never be
starched, and as the ma
terial shrinks in the
wash several inches
should be allowed on
the length.
Do not use a bottom
rod, for these curtains
when hanging loose are
much softer in effect, and
not so formal. A rod at
the top, however, is nee
essary, for if run only
on a tape the curtain
will sag and give an I'M
kept look to the room.
In bed rooms that are
rather dark use thin,
white, full length cur
tains, and let them hang
in straight folds over the
windows, SO that the
shades may be raised to
the top without expos
ing the interior.
Dining room windows
should be draped, like
those of the parlor, in
cream, ecru, or soft, dull
colors, not too dark.
Japanese stores show
curtains very suitable
for this purpose.
Half curtains are best
for the kitchen windows
of a fiat, if any are need
ed; but basement kitch-
ems usually require all
the light the windows
will admit and no cur
tains should be put up
IN a kitchen merely for
appearance.
There now remains
only the possible window
whose light should not
be obscure, even to shut
off an Objectionable out
look. Give the window
pane a thin coating of
white lac varnish, and
apply the paper quickly,

MINIATURE EDITION
OF TOM LAWSON

Saturday evening, the man who
| poses as the Marion edition of Tom
Lawson, who believes he is a great
, er muck raker than Ida Tarbell and
! who openly boasts that he is the
best editor in the world and half
OF Canada, took occasion to spew
up some Of the garbage which had
fermented on his stomach. He
thought he had discovered some
thing. He had great discovery to
present to the people and he fgur
ed that he would out Lawson Law
son, out Tarbell Ida and cinch more
J. firmly his boasted title of 'ye great
est of all, editors. He accused us OF
I plagiarism. He says we have been
clipping paragraphs from the WASH
ington Post and not giving credit.
Z The fact of the matter is that to
!. the best of our recollection we have,
never even seen copy of the
! Washington Post. That paper Is not
! now. and never has been on the
Mirror exchange list. If we so de-
! sired, we could very easily explain
, how 1t came that the same para
graphs appeared in the Mirror and
Washington Post, If they did SO ap-
pear, but we do not care to take
! the time because the efforts would
(, be wasted until such time as the
pus is drained from the cranial
cavity of this miniature edition OF
Tom Lawson. We will say this
much, however, that If this king
: of editors seeks other fields for Ills
efforts, he should look over the
editorial columns of papers all over
Chic and the other states.
This attack gives proof of asser-
tions which have been made by en-
ployes OF the Star office, that para
graphs from this same Washington
Post and the Chicago News have
been rewritten for the Stars edi-
Z torial columns. Else, why should
the editor have scanned SO closely
those columns. These paragraphs

a manner that the point has been
! lost
! This attack would be allowed to
Z pass with about as much attention
as is paid to the Cravings of John
>McCullough, were IL not that the
paper has been assailed. Talking of
the policy of a newspaper reminds
2ps that, never has the charge been
made against us that we have Jug
1gled the names on a ballot in order
TO give a friend the best position.
Never have we been accused of en-
