IDEA FOR SHORT CURTAINS.
Decorative Scheme That Is Proving
Helpful to Degree.

There is fashion in decoration that
should be helpful to the woman who
must fit short curtains to new win
dows.
This is the idea of having deep dec
orative borders on fabrics of solid
color.
Separate borders can be bought at
the large shops with surprising ease
by the woman who knows how to root
out the artistic thing. They do not
come for curtains as a rule, but they
serve admirably.
The foundation color Is usually deep
tinted, although some good patterns
can be got with the foundation in
natural crash tones.
The color note Is intended, of
course, to harmonic with the room in
which it is placed.
The border may be fastened on by
double row of stitching close to-
gether, over which are big stitches
with coarse thread of the foundation
color, sewed as Bagdad strips are
sewed.
Some people omit the stitching,
using only this coarse sewing.

LITTLE ESSAY ON THE BRAIN
Fruitful Theme Wittily Handled by
Thomas L. Mason.

Thomas L. Mason, in Lfppineott's
Magazine, thus wittily discourses upon
a fruitful theme:
Brains are common to all parts OF
the country, and traces of them have
been discovered in summer at Lenox,
Bar Harbor and Newport.
They are originally used to obtain
money, but when money is obtained
by them it usually takes their place.
1.-THE quality of brains varies in diff
ferent localities. Mixed with ginger
they become very valuable. With a
spine, they are a necessity in every
household
AT one time they Influenced litera
ture, but the discovery was made that
literature could do without them.
Since then they have been almost ex
clusively devoted to advertising.
Brains are employed in various en-
terprises. They make bridges, rail
roads and other systems Of transporta
ticn. They also create capital, and are
used extensively in evading the law

SEPARATE TUNIc A BLESSING.
Can Be Used to Advantage in Altering
old-Fashioned Frocks.

Clever women have found out that
separate tunic made of another ma
terial than the gown and draped over
it is an excellent method of altering
an old-fashioned frock.
There are some skirts that are too
short to be lifted up even for two
inches on the bodice to give the en-
pire effect, and they are too much out
of style to wear as they are
If the skirt and bodice are put to-
gether by their Innings and two or
three folds of self-colored material
neatly draped around the waist line in
order to make it invisible the founda-
ton work is finished.
The tunic may be made of net,
chiffon cloth, bands Of net and en-
broidered satin or all-over lace edged
with fur or gold galloons.
This is cut with seam down the
middle OF the back and neatly draped

TO CARVE A ROAST OF BEEF.
Much Depends Upon How Joint Is
Laid Before Carver.

How to carve a roast of 3eef de-
ponds upon the form in which the
roast is placed upon the platter. II 1t
include several ribs. furnishing suffi.
cient room for base of bone, it may
be so put before the carver that he
may cut perpendicularly in thin slices,
passing the knife in a line parallel
with the ribs. If, however, the roast
be laid upon the side, as is usual. the
same direction is to be observed as to
the cutting in lines parallel to the
ribs
When a tenderloin roast is to be
carved, having but the one large bore
which divides the tenderloin from the
more solid portion, there is little choice
whether the knife is drawn with or
transyersely to the grain; the tender.
ness of the meet is assured in either
case. 1t may be more convenient to
sever entirely the tenderloin from the
firmer part of the roast before begin
ming to slice. This will leave the
carver at liberty to serve portion OF
| each quality of the meat to every
guest, as the tenderloin may not be OF
| sufficient size to serve to all.
