Bedroom Curtains

In making curtains for the bedroom
windows you can economic in material
by selecting swiss or scrim the Widtil
of the window. Now measure off the
length you desire the curtains and cut
the material from corner to corner on
the bias. In other words, cut from
the lower left-hand corner to the upper
right-hand corner.
To this bias edge apply a ruf11e either
of the material or OF coarse lace.
Finish the joining seam neatly by
stitching a strip of featherstltched
braid or a narrow bias fold over the
ruffle and seam edge.
Now finish the broad straight edge
at the top with a hem and narrow
casing, through which is run a tape
the length of the width of the window.
The curtains are hen shirred over the
tape or small brass rods and attached
to the windows.
Drape them to each side of the Win
dow with ribbons or cotton cords, and
you will have a pair Of very good
looking curtains, made from the guam
tity of material generally employed in
making n curtain.

About Buttonholes

Even suoh simple things as buttons
and buttonholes require proper treat
ment to insure neatness.
When buttoning or unbuttoning a
garment forcing the buttons across the
width of the hole will soon tear out
the latter.
For this reason buttons with only
two holes are better than those with
four, and should be placed SO that their
holes will be on a line with the length
of the buttqAhole.
Some women place buttons with four
holes so that only two holes need be
sewed through-those on the opposite
corners-thus making them last longer
than il all four were used.

When Placing
Sleeves

A good rule to follow when deter
mining the proper position of sleeves
when placing them in a blouse Is TO
fold the sleeve along the forward seam
and crease it at the top of the fold
at the opposite side.
This crease marks the point of the
sleeve that is to be sewed to the Shout
der seam.
After this, measure one inch bach OF
the shoulder seam and crease the
blouse at a point exactly opposite.
ON this crease the forward seam OF
the sleeve is pinned. 1t is then an
easy matter to haste in the under part
of the sleeve and, gathering the upper
part of the sleeve, haste that in even
with the edge of the armhole.

this instance, however, h skirt and
one side of the blouse are made of
gold-colored satin, and The right side
of the blouse and the tunic are made
of ivory meteore. while the trimming,
the chemisette and the sleeves are of
lace. AS two satin finished materials
used together are among the smartest
of all things just now the gown is in
the height of style, but a season that
calls for combinations always allows
a great deal of leaway n this same
gown could be treated quite differently.
The entire blouse and tunic could be
made of one shade Of satin with the
skirt of another and be exceedingly
smart, or the sleeves could be made
of lace, or. again. marquisette would be
charming for the entire blouse and
tunic with satin or velvet for the skirt
and the chemisette only of lace. The
blouse is made in two sections that
are ONeIIdp Deu III SUI plift SlJ lS dAlu 10

the course is ended earlier and the
proper requirements attained may the
scholarship he had then? .. According
to whose judgment are scholarships
awarded? Yours thankfully,
BROOkLYNITE.
Cd. The time in completing the
course has nothing to do with the
awarding of the scholarships. The
competition is pen to all pupils who
meet the requirements of the school.
(2). The scholarships are awarded
according to the records made during
the high school course. If there were
two pupils with exactly the same
marks for the four years, I presume
the principal and the teachers would
max the selection.

He looked like his father. but he
