Although the Phillies will have,

twirlers of the National league during
1912 in Alexander. Chalmers, Moore
and possibly Shultz and one or two
others. Doom will n have more than

only three left-handed pitchers south
and it is doubtful whether more than
one will stay with the club during the
season.
Ad Brennan is the twirler who uses

concerning the actual ages of sundry

the opinion that Willie McGill. the

he was all through in the big leagues,

CY YOUNG A

Just as old Cy Young enters his
t~wenty-third season as a big league
baseball player. his famous battery
mate. Lou Criger. is about to retire
finally. Lou is with the Browns, try.
ing to develop a few star pitchers on.
of W'allace's long list of hurlers. but
after teh spring season is over Crtger
will hike back to the farm and may
never again be in front of the baseball
public. Criger is not the same man
he was when he was considered the
best catcher in the American league.
Age has told on this great veteran Of
the national pastime. and he is about
to be dropped from the limelight, new
er again to appear. Criger need have
no fear. though. While in baseball he
was one of the wise ones. and saved
his earnings. and now has a farm that
will keep the wolf from the door for
q good long time to come.

Castles and County Seats" by Try

Mrs. Batcheller has had most unus-

scores of homes of Italian noblemen,
and her book-made up of letters writ

In Rome, where she called on the

brought for the prince had made a
great hit, and that it was hard to get
1t out of the youngsters hand.
The queen mother invited Mrs.

DRAPING THE WINDOW
NEED NOT BE CONSIDERED MUCH
OF A PROBLEM.
So Many Materials to Select From
That the Task Is Now Compare
lively Easy-Some conVen-
tionaI Designs.

To drape windows artistically and
not exclude any of the very necessary
light often becomes a serious prob
len.
So many inexpensive yet exceed
ing!y attractive materials are dis
played that the task becomes COM
paratively easy.
For the nursery windows there are
many appropriate designs, depicting
scenes from the Mother Goose
rhymes or Alice in Wonderland
Any material may be used, from
common yellow muslin to linen crash.
Two straight pieces form the sides.
These are Joined by valance across
the top of the window. The curtains
are hung from narrow brass rod.
To prevent the dust from collecting,
they are hung without a heading
Any soft, neutral coloring is at
tractive for the stenciling. Old delft
blue against rich cream background
would be charming
Outlines the window is narrow and
we desire to have it appear wider.
The straight curtains hung from the
sides have this tendency.
The curtain may start from the
very edge of the window frame and
extend beyond the width of the dra-
perry. This gives an added width of a
foot or less, as desired.
The conventional design of blocks
may either be stenciled at home or
purchased at the shops.
a narrow rod of brass is used and
afne draperies are hung from small
brass rings. This makes a dainty,
simple dressing for the narrow win
dow.
1t is often difficult to treat the lat
ticed window effectively. Perhaps
