Curtains.

Bobinet curtains will be used a
great deal this season in parlnrs. din

ferent styles being chosen to suit the
rooms. Cluny lace 81 a decoration is
a little newer than renaissance, al
though the latter is being used as
much as ever.

to be had in good designs for very lit
tie money. 1t is oste1 hard to tell
them from the real thing. Beautiful
curtains come in Nottingham. also in
the cheaper grades.
Colored curtains, like the barred

treated me like a human being, and

as though am not up to standard:

Bird That Depends on Mate for Life.
A final attempt is being made by
the New Zealand government to OBJ.
tain specimens of the hula, a bird
which has been practically exterminat-
ed by the vogue Tor its feathers which
obtained among the Maoris.
The hula is jet black bird, with a
white band at the extreme end of its
tail feathers. The birds are Matched
in pairs. The male has a short strong
beak and the female long. slender,
incurved beak: the male breaks the
bark of dead trees and the female
then dips her beak into the holes Of
the big grubs which attack dead TIM
Der. She presents one grub to her
spouse and then has one herself, al
ternating most conscientiously.
The Maor1s say that when one dies
the other must necessarily die Of
starvation, because nature has so az
ranged that each is dependent on the
other.

old instruments that either broke q

The clothes are put into any kind Of
boiler available in water, and the
boiler Is set in a perforated metal
cone, at least that is what it looks
like, though it is perhaps a little more
elaborate when put up as a CONNER
cial product The water is boiled and
as the steam fills the cone the water
is forced through the holes or perfora-
tions leaving vacuum in the cone
which is in its turn promptly replaced
by water. This gives a circulation of
about four gallons per minute and the
hot water is drawn rapidly through the
clothes cleansing them thoroughly and
quickly.
