Curtains should be washed through
two or three tepid waters, with wash.
Ing soda dissolved in each one, then
soaked over night in cold water with
soda added. The soda saponifies any
trease that may be there.
The next day the curtains, If they
are white or cream, should be washed
out of the soaking water, then put
into soap lather and pressed and
squeezed in this until they become
quite clean. Then wash in plenty Of
warm water and boil the white ones

rinsed in warm water to remove soap,

that the water may be quite removed
before they are starched.
All curtains are improved when
stiffened and are usually dipped into

FOR THOSE WHO KNIT.
Directions for Making Dainty Three.
Cornered Shawl.

The materials required for a COM
Portable and dainty three-cornered
shawl are two bone knitting needles,
No. 8, and double Berlin or fancy wool.
First: Cast on three stitches and knit
off plain. Second: Make one at end of
every other row by knitting into the
bottom part of the loop and then into
actual stitch. Knit backward and for
ward. garter stitch, until there are $50
stitches on the needle. Third: Knit
six rows without increasing. Fourth:
Decrease at the end of every other
row by taking the last two stitches to-
gether until three loops remain and
then cast off. The decreasings must
be made at the same ends of the rows
that the increasings were made. Fifth:
Finish off the edge all around with a
crochet edging. This shawl is easily
and quickly made, and if made in a
delicate colored wool will be extreme
ly dainty. 1t can be worn as a hood
as we'll as a shawl by putting one
corner over the head and drawing the
other two oyer the shoulders and un-
der the chin.
The pioneer express. [volume] (Pembina, Dakota [N.D.]) 1883-1928, 1908-06-19

To make the curtains OF: equal stifl.
ness the starch should be prepared In
one basin, then divided by. pouring
half Of It into another basin and
each curtain dipped into each lot Of
starch. y. IN ,j
AS wet material holds certain
quantity Of water which reduces the
strength of the starch. II one curtain
Is put into the starch before the 9th.
er the starch would be less stiff for
the second curtain, and 1t would. in
consequence. be rather limp.
Curtains of Swiss lace should also
be put into rather thick starch. as they
hang better when made fairly stiff,
and as they are usually of open de.
sign, the stiffness keeps the pattern
displayed.
Madras muslin curtains, on the 9TH
er hand, look better when quite soft,
consequently less degree Of stiffen-
ing is required. If there Is ball fringe
on the curtains this must be kept
carefully free from starch, as it makes
the fringe stiff, causing the threads to
adhere to each other, spelling it's ap.
pearance.
When starching these curtains,
gather the fringe up carefully in the
hand away from the starch while the
curtains are being stiffened.
Curtains may be ironed, but 1t is
better way to hang them over the line
exactly in half, and see that they hang
directly opposite to one another.
They will dry in short time on q
sunny day. When dry, fold them
lengthwise, lay them in sheet and
put under heavy box. When hung
the folds will come out of them.

steichen Has Helped to Give indivId-
uaI Photographic Print Unique Place.
While waiting for recognition,
Steichen had established himself in a
little room at POI Fifth avenue, which
is now one of the galleries of the
"Photo-Secession." says February
Century. The turn Of his fortune
came with the sale of two or three
of his oil paintings. and little later
with an exhibition at the Glaenzer
galleries on Fifth avenue, which prov
ed an artistic success, and brought
him to the notice Of very discern.
ing class of picture-lovers.
The following year he gave two ex,
hibitions-one of his paintings and
another of his prints. OF the former,
seventeen out of twenty-five found
purchasers, and Of the latter some so
per cent of the total exhibits. The
price paid for the individual prints
varied from $50 to $3.50, which, con-
sidering the number that were sold.
represented the largest amount yet
paid for Photographic pictures. But
people had begun to regard them in
the spirit Of the connoisseur, estimat-
ing them on their own merits, accord
ing to their technical qualities and ca
pacity to satisfy the esthetic sense.
They had got away from the idea of
photographs that are turned out me-
chanically by the dozen, and had
learned to scrutinize the individual
print in etching or engraving, and to
discover that it possessed certain
qualities that gave it uniqueness.
