NEW CURTAINS

EVAVE you seen the new curtains,
made of draperies of coquina
"A shells? They are very pretty,
and very interesting, as they come
all the way from the coast of the
Gulf of Mexico.
The coquina is a tiny clamlike
creature, inhabiting a bit of a shell,
the color of which may be rose, blue,
purple, yellow-aImost any shade
you can think of. . Boiling water is
poured on the live animals. and the
shells open like the wings of but
terf1y. CBe it explained that the lit
tie animals are cast up by the waves
on the seashore, and gathered as
they come in.)
After washing them off and keep
ing the contents of the shells for
soup, the shells themselves are clean
ed thoroughly, first in hot and then
in cold water, and then threaded In
pairs A yellow linen thread is used
as long, when doubled, as the curtain
is to be. Then a small hole is made
in the hinge edge of each pair, and
the eye of the needle threaded as de-
scribed. The point of the needle is
pushed through the hole on one side,
so that the thread comes from the
underside. It is then passed down.
ward through the hole on the other
shell. Finally, the needle is passed
nm between the shells. This stitch
is repeated, threading the pairs one
or two inches apart.
Twenty-eight strings make half a
curtain. When both sides are done,
the strings are fastened to nat,
narrow strip Of wood, which Is nail
ed to the strip at the top Of the Win
dow. OF course, for 2 door the cur
tains will have to be wider. perhaps
twice as wide.

In the first place, the floor can be
covered with a mating rug. This
may take one, two or three widths,
sewn together with heavy cotton
thread or raffia soaked in tepid
water until it is as pliable as thread.
Bind the raw edges with goods and
prevent it frayfng. 1t can be stitched
by hand in a large baekhand stitch,
which will hold it firmly.
If used for shades, the mating
must be hemmed with goods and
tackled upon the spring rollers. Place
the rollers low enough to make room
for the roller mating when the
shades are drawn I'D
