TO HANG BEDROOM CURTAINS
Necessity for Fresh Air at Night
Makes Question Most I'M
portant One.

since fresh air at night has become
imperative the right way to curtain q
bedroom must be studied. Every win.
DOW must be raised at top and bot.
tom, which is better for lungs and
complexion than for hangings.
The specialist advises no curtains: :
30 VIII most men, who rarely like the
dainty draperies dear to women. Few
housekeepers agree with this. even
the health fanatics. Nothing furnishes
room like fresh white curtains: be-
sides, the publicity Of the uncurtain.

house.

air never hangs at her bedroom win.

ed easily or that are ruined by damp
ness. Windows up the year around
soon works havoc on delicate lace or
colored curtains.
double draperies are net advisable
for the bedroom. Too much air Is
shut out, though they are lifted back
each night. When one will have them,
choose denim, wash prints or heavy
wash silks that stand Tubing.
One woman fastens to the side lin.
tells OF her window high above the mid.
die sash. a small hook. In a conven.
lent place she keeps cords for each
half of curtain and her maids are
taught when preparing the room for
the night to loop the curtains up and
back, thus giving free current Of
air
The most practical method of cur.
tanning a bedroom is to divide the
curtain in two sections horizontally.
A rod is run at the top of the lower
sash and the lower half run on 1t by
narrow casing. The upper curtain
is cut longer than the lowed one and
hung on rod at the top of the case.
ment so they conceal the lower rod.
BY this arrangement the window
can be lifted with no floating draper
les to blow out the window and get
stringy, yet the room has the bene
fit of curtains.

SPENDS NIGHT IN PRISON

After spending a night in prison to
observe the condition of the convicts
to investigate conditions there, Gov.
b. w. Hooper has announced that the
stripes should come off all but the
worst prisoners in the spring and that
thereafter the stripes should be used
only as means of punishment. AS
soon as the new chaplain took charge,
he stated. schools would be started.
AS a result of his investigation he
issued pardons to 25 prisoners as
Christmas gifts. During the night he
spent in the penitentiary he mingled
with the convicts and learned from
many of them the story of their lives
"The prison." he afterward said, "is
a terrible place however humane the
management and conditions Hereto
fore Tennessee has thought of only
two things in connection with the
state prison. One was to get some
one into the penitentiary. and the 9th.
