How to Do UP Curtains.

One way to do up curtains that an
swers equally well for madras. mus
lin, net and lace is to hang them in
stead of either ironing or stretching.
Baste broadish hem at the top and
bottom and run into each stout cur
tain pole from which you have scratch
ed Off all the paint. Stretch smoothly
upon the pole at each end, then hang
up to dry. The weight of the lower
pole VIII straighten and smooth it. You
can usually make room for one TO be
hung even IL you cannot for one TO be
stretched upon the floor. AS soon as
one Is dry hang up another and when
they are all done rip out the hens and
press lightly with an iron that is
warm rather than hot.
Ruffied curtains can have the ruffles
ironed or futed after coming off the
poles. and IL there are any little wrin-
kles left wet the spots and pull them
out Before curtains are put in the
wash they should be brushed or shak-
en- free from all dust and then should
be squeezed and moved up and down
In the warm suds instead of rubbing.
Boil and rinse them and then dip them
In another water I'm which Won have
put bluing or coffee. according as they
need to be white or cream color. Starch
them lightly while still wet.

UNIFORM STREET PLANTING.
II Gives Strength. and Dignity to the
Effect

Effect.
The first necessity of rational street
tree planting is TO have the same sort
OF tree on each side for as great a
distance as possible, says the Los An
geles Times. One never" tires OF the
same tree, no matter how extensive
the lines; there are added strength
and dignity with each successive mile.
or course a highway with curves or
bends may be an exception, but
straight lines of planting should be OF
one kind only. The continuity serves
but TO intensity our appreciation and
enjoyment. and the length and regu-
lar uniformity become stately with
advancing years. The visitor after
noting the general effect for n time
begins TO study habit, foliage, bark,
flower or seeds and unconsclously be-
comes a student OF nature, with the
effect that 1t never altogether leaves
him, and he is born anew.
Next TO a lack OF uniformity our
chief fault in planting streets is over
planting. \ few years ago a munich
pal architect of note was driven down
Magnolia avenue. Riverside, Cal. In
those days the sides were nearly solid
with immense expresses. After the
drive. upon being asked what he
thought OF the avenue, he remarked,
1T is about as cheerful as driving
through a tunnel" Ever since the
thinning out process has been going
on until today you may catch fine
views Of the distant mountains. Lat
er street paintings have been Oh a
more rational plan, though all OF the
older streets in Riverside, as is the
case all over southern California, are
too thlcllly lined with trees With
such planting all individuality and
beauty OF outline are lost, and the effect
IS little less monotonous than that OF
a continuous wall OF brick or stone.
Overplantlng has been responsible
for great majority of the objections
10 uniformity OF sorts, for IL each side
OF the street presents n solid mass OF
foliage and you can see nothing be.
yond a change of color and form "a
certainly pleasing Street planting
should never shut out all gllmpses OF
the adjoining or distant landscape
Wherefore it is pertinent to remark
that all street tree planting in south
ern California IS oyerdone.
