BEDROOM DESIGNATIONS.

With the love of all things colonial
in our housefurnishings we seem to
have evolved simplicity in window
draping, that is both charming and
economical, in that these curtains
can be made at home and without
the aid of seamstress engaged by
the day,
Plain net, in either square or round
mesh, may be made with hem about
an inch in width along the two sides
and across the bottom, or fine linen
tape, half an inch in width, can be-
sewed on the under side just within
narrower hem and made into a
simple design at each corner.
These curtains should hang next
the pane, while, for the inside hang
ings, across the top of window cas-
ings and down each side of a group
of windows. figured cretonne or Eng
lish chintz is generally used.
The longer strips reach just about
two inches below the sill, and are
only a width of the material, while
the valance along the top, which Is
pleated on rings in scant box-pleats,i
is about fourteen inches long when
finished, and extends across the long
er pieces at the sides of the window.
In tone, these draperies carry out
the color scheme of the room. but
need not be of the same design. 1t
is best when intending to use hang
ings of this sort to have the papering
or wall decoration as simple as pos
sible, unless paper can be found
to exactly match the material.
A room recently seen and much
admired had the head and foot Of the
plain iron bed covered with the chintz,
while the spread and roll for the pill
lows were of the same material.
The dressing table, bureau, chiffo.
nier and table tops were covered with
a transparent scrim lined with the
cretonne and edged with heavy
cluny lace of deep cream color.
The walls were of green satin-strip-
ed paper and the rug of soft neutral
coloring. New York Press.

der its chin and pressed against its
slender neck, and when a collie dog
belonging to one OF the onlookers
made dash at the little creature It
dropped its burden-a hens egg

disappeared in the woodland.
On being picked up the egg was
found to be without crack. The

BRAN.

Bran is used for both cleansing and
stiffening. To make bran water tie
cupful of bran in muslin, put this
into two parts of water in a clean
saucepan and simmer till the water
feels glutinous Leave the muslin
loose to allow the bran to part with
its gluten. A second and even third
water may be taken of the bran in
the same way. Bran has no destruc-
tive effect on colors and seems to act
mechanically as an absorbent, and
stiffens the article slightly. So it is
most useful for colored embroidery,
or art work of any kind. Bran water
Is sometimes employed for the wash
ing of cretonne with a colorei back
ground. The article is washed in the
bran water, rinsed, wrung, rolled in
cloth and ironed on the wrong side.
The cretonne is better if slightly
dried before ironing. Susie M. Ham

4 TURKEY RAISING.


Turkeys are generally, conceded to
be the most difficult to raise of all
poultry. While in their natural state
they are healthy and hardy, in CON
dinement they easily become prey
to disease and the mortality in do
mesticated turkeys is such as to
Cause rigid Investigations on the part
Of both state and national expert
mentors. The object of these expert
ments has been principally to pro-
dnee. Il possible, a strain of turkeys
that would be immune or nearly so
from the disease commonly known
As ''blackheado and to find the cause
and remedy for that trouble.
It mas been found by most breed
ers and those interested in turkey
culture that an old sod was prefer
able to cultivated fields for ranging
or yafding turkeys and that the com
bination of turkeys and chickens in
the same yardssis unadvisable. The
parasites Of the disease infest chick
ems In great numbers but are appar-
emily not as malignant and fatal to
them, but ifsturkeys are allowed the
same range, they are easily infected
With the disease, and the mortality
in young turkeys is very great.
There is some difference in opin-
Ion as to whether Embarrassing is
becoming more difficult, 1t is the
opinion Of most breeders that each
season finds greater mortality in
young turkeys.
Some twenty years ago we visited
