MISS ANDREWS WITH EDITORS.
They We're Charmed With Her Person.
ally and Moved by Her ElOquence.

Miss Andrews, of the Normal facul-
ty, attended the recent session of the
Virginia editors which was held in
the city Of Richmond. She read a pa
per before the body on news" as her
theme, and emphasizing the desire
among men to hear something new
from the days Of the Athenians till
now, drew sharp and clear distinction
between that which was worth re-
peating and that which was not. The
paper was listened to with rapt atten-
ton and made, as we.believe, profound
and lasting impression upon those
who were privileged to hear it.
Miss Andrews also attended the
banquet which was rendered the As
soclation Thursday evening at Muir
phys, and responded TO one of the
toasts, and Of this effort the Times
Dispatch had this to say: Miss An
drews, of Farmville, who in an inn
promptu talk proved match for the
best of the speakers and a distinct
shock ran from center to circumfer-
ence of Farmville when the news
reached here to the effect that Miss
Andrews made a match" while in
Richmond. And if this news is con-
flrmed, our one comment is that the
gain Of one man will be a distinct loss
TO Farmville, to Virginia and to the
forces Of the AGE.

In WHITE DRAPERY
CORRECT FURNISHING FOR THE
BEDROOM WINDOW.
Despite All Changes of Fashion That
Color Still HOLDS Its Own, and
is, After All, the Most
Appropriate.

With all the changes of fashion in
the matter of furni shing, the use OF
delicate white material for the window
draper-es of bedrooms continues IN
ia or, for daintiness is the first requl-
site of such hangings, especially for
a womans bedroom, and nothing can
vie with the sheer white hangings in
this quality.
Anon the materials which are now
most popular for this purpose are very
sheer Iinen-the most expensive of the
materials employed-sheer batiste,
cotton etanline and India and French
lawn The fashion of the moment
calls for the use of very fine embroid-
cry, in delicate rather than elaborate
patterns, for hemstitching and other
varieties of fine needlework and for
the use of very narrow fine lace in
se-tions and edging for the trimmings
of such hangings. The idea seems to
be to secure f1neness of quality and
The Winslow mail., 1909-02-06

perfection of finish rather than elaO-
Grafton of detail or striking designs.
Among the very newest ideas for trim
ming these curtains is the employ
ment of narrow white braid to carry
out the design, rather than embroid-
cry. This braid when used for fine
material, is most effective. Some of
the curtains on which it is used have
only the ruffies trimmed, the braid
being used in a vine and flower pat
tern or in a scroll design on the edge
of the rufles. Heavier muslin, that
which is quite Opaque after embroid-
eri1g, is also used for these curtains
and trimmed with the white braid
The ruffles are then starched and
stand out quite stiff1y, and in an old
fashioned looking room with chintz
fittings this style of curtain is quite
effective Very frequently the ruffles
of these curtains are futed, the braid
trimming not being placed on the
ruffles, but on the edge of the curtain
just inside the ruffie.
For very sheer curtains there is an
effective trimming of hemstitching
which is TO be noticed at some of the
most exclusive linen shops where
everything is done by hand. To hem
stitch pair of curtains in this fashion
would undoubtedly be a task calling
for patience and good eyesight, but
once accomplished the task would
bear lasting fruit, for the wear and
tear upon curtains is nothing like so
great as that upon bed or table linen,
and the curtains, with care, would en-
dure for many years. The hemstitched
curtains noticed had a double border
of the material hemstitched on both
sides and. a ruffie with two rows of
