LIGHT FOR SUMMER
HIGH TIME TO DISCARD HEAVY
DRAPERiEs.
Cotton or Silk Fabrics Most cool and
Cheerful in Appearance-cal-
cutsa Net Also Used Elk.
Sensively in Many Ways.

Heavy draperies should be replaced
by lighter weight cotton or silk fab
rics that are cool and cheerful in ap
roarance Curtains of Calcutta net are
reasonable and, suitable for various
purposes. The net comes in all colors
and in several meshes. 1t is 4S inches
wide and so cents yard. The green
and tan shades are good. The white
and ecru wash well, and TO avoid
shrinking, pull 1t gently into shape'
when nearly dry. Calcutta net is also
used extensively for den and living
room pillows. The cushions first have
q slip of a plain color and over this
cover of the net in a suitable shade.
This gives lattice effect to the pill
lows which is quite pleasing.
Then there are silkolines, tafetas,
soft silks and dimities, as well as
denims and cretonnes. Silkolines are
soft and pretty, but are most too
llimsy for satisfactory curtains. Scrim
Increases in popularity and great I'M
provement in weaves has been ac
complished the past few years. Linen
taffeta is very popular, and burlap is
particularly we'll adapted for stencil ef'
fects. and is available for walls as well
rs draperies. Dimity launders well
and can therefore be kept fresh and
clean.
Priscilla silk coming in every shade
at 90 cents q yard, can be used WITH
cream Calcutta net to give color tone
TO 4 room. This silk resembles the
heavier raw silk used for draperies
but which costs $3.50 yard. The silA
curtains should hang straight down
and not reach more than four inche:
below the window. Many prefer cur
tains only to the sill, but allowance
must then be made for shrinkage of
the washable under curtain, as at all
times both net and silk curtains
should be the same length.
OF course the domestic and import
ed cretonnes are handsomer each year
and still lead in cotton fabrics for
hangings and furniture coverings. Elk
quisite designs in domestic cretonne
can be had as low as 2S cents yard.
and are shown side by side with the
imported, which retail from 80 cents
to $3.50 yard. The higher.priced
imported cretonnes are double width
The demand this season is for the sin
gle width grades, which cost from 80
to so cents yard. AS over draperies
cretonnes are effective. They should
not be hung next to the glass, for they
will fade rapidly. Plain net or scriy
between them and the light, protefCs
the draperles. Some of the large snoI
windows are showing the effect of a
room done entirely in cretonne. Where
it is employed layiShly, there is danger
in OVERRIDING it. This season the ere
tonne in floral pattern is preferred
and although blue, mauve and pale
yellow are in demand, pinEs and reds
are used to a greater eXteat.-N. Y

make this house comfortable, and you
have the fireplace in the front room
for chilly days in the fall and spring
as well as for extra cold weather in
winter.
Now that the bungalow idea is be-
coming so fashionable. this long, mar
row style is being favorably consid-
cred. 1t is the only way of getting a
roomy one-story house on a narrow
lot, and 1t is very satisfactory way
when the house is properly built and
nicely finished up. which, of course,
includes the lawn.
The cost, probably, would reach
$1,000 or 81 900 in most localities out
side of large cities, and it can be very
satisfactorily built for this amount Of
money by using stock sizes of doors,
windows, holdings. sash. etc. such
as every dealer in building supplies
carries continually in stock.

THINGS TO REMEMBER.
Suggestions for the Management OF
the Poultry.

To properly vary the feed, the hens
should have some kind of bulky feed
in addition to grain.
An overgrown male will not be n

The directly opposite is also true.
In raising poultry for market the
profit lies in getting the chicks out
early and then pushing them forward

hens. Hang up a raw bone with meat

than damp yards, but both are to be
avoided.

Prevent Lire Twisting.

One Of the greatest annoyances and
bothers which one has TO put up with
on washday is a clothes line which Is
constantly twisting, and IL the line is
a stiff one the trouble is increased
fourfold. To prevent the line from
twisting hold the ball of rope in the
left hand and wind with the right hand
until the twist appears, then change
he ball to the right hand and twist
with the left hand, and the twist will
disappear As socn as another twist
appears change back to the left hand.
Continue to wind Ia this manner until
the limo is all wound up.
