ARTISTIC CURTAINS.

Haven't you ofttimes wistfully admired
the short scrim curtains ornamented
with crocheted lace points and hung by
the same on little brass rods? Perhaps
you've been taking a walk along a par
ticularly well-curtained row Of homes,
just to see what kind of curtains II would
be best for you to get this season-the
old ones are such sight! And, some
how-call 1t the irony of fate-there
wasn't pair OF curtains in that row
that appealed to your artistic heart but
the little scrim ones with crocheted
points The tragedy of it, for you couldn't
crochet!
But there's a way to outwit old lady
Fate yet. Torchon lace Is every bit as
effective for the purpose. Get it rather
heavy, and it must have points A
torchon as near a cluny pattern as you
can get is best The little curtain should
be hemstitched at both top and bottom.
The wide. pointed lace is whipped along
the edge Of the top hem, and the bottom
of the curtain may be left plain or a
small picot edge whipped to IT. A broad
band of torchon insertion Is placed about
an inch above the lower hem.
Cluny, OF course, makes even hand
somer curtains, and by watching the
lace sales one can ofttimes get ciuny
or torchon lace for mere song

Condore, an isolated spot in the China
Sea, where it was the purpose OF Com

refit her for further cruising.

from the coast OF America that she had
become a sort of nomad OF the sea. In
deed, she had nsver been in a Confed-
crate port, and had never been nearer
American shores than a point twenty
miles of Galveston, where, in January,

According to report, the good folk Of
Montclair, n. J., have become disturbed
over the increasing tendency of the
young people in that suburban town to
grow old before their time. through too
early and too frequent participation In
the social whirl." Citizens who never
before have concerned themselves with
such matters are enrolling in a move
ment to keep the children young and
more concerned with school than with
the latest dances or other social activi-
ties.
Indirectly. the movement has a bit of
its inspiration in the fact that some of
the leading residents Of Montclair do
not quite approve OF 30 early an initiation
