vS0ncerning Muslin Curtains

"The letter about unbleached muslins for curtains prompts me to make a sug- gestiou to your readers of my own expe- rience during the last two years or more, and I can couch for the practicability of 1t. l use the unbleached muslin at or cents "a yard; have a five-inch hem at the bottom. and allow about 10 or 12 inches at the top, if the muslin is not shrunk before hemming. I have found that these curtains ,may be more easily shrunken after they have been cut off into curtain lengths. rather than in a piece of sev- eral yards. Instead of lace as has been suggesteda a little crochet edge made di- rectly on the selvedge of the muslin or unbleached alarming cotton, costing about "A cents a dozen spools, is exceedingly at tractive and satisfactory This edge is made by a. chain of eight catch with a slip stitch in the fourth chain, chain three and catch in the curtain, taking care not to make tfse space between stitches as great as the< length of the crochet that is thus formed, I have found that by put ting brass pods at the bottom of the castings just above the sill, these curtains are kept always in place, neither blowing into the room or out into the rain when the windows are open. With these rods in place, the curtains may be laundered and hung without ironing, and in fact they look better if not ironed, as the heat has tendency to stretch them out of shape
 send them toa the laundry if not con venient to havef done at home, and when they come back with the fiat work T dip them into cold water wiring out as dry as I can, slip them on to the rods shake them straight, then place the rods in place at the window. When they have dried, I pull out the edge and spread them out on the rods as I want them. This gives the curtains pretty crepe finish and saves much hard work

matter of erecting the new Motion hotel?" I asked.
 "As l told you, for several years I have been trying In my own crude way to decide what was best to put on that cor ner lot. It is 50x190, and l decided after due deiberation that it was an ideal place for a hotel or an apartment house. and I believe I am right. The Tutwiler and other handsome buildings in that neigh borhood alone justify my judgment, if nothing else. It is not my first experience in hotel building, however, as I organ ized the company shortly after the de- struction by fire of rne Caldwell hotel, which had been failure, which built the Hotel Hillman. Following on the heels of the Caldwell hotel disaster, it was more difficult to raise the $290,000 to build the Hillman hotel than it was within the past year to raise the $1,S25,000 to build the Tutwiler. The Caldwell hotel, as said had been a mistake, and people looked at a hotel proposition long and hard before they were willing to invest their money. I also had hand in the building of the Jefferson theatre
 What at the present would be your advice to those contemplating building in Birmingham I asked.
 Cheap buildings I would shun," said MT. Mouton. "Our Birmingham ground is too valuable to put cheap building on. There has been so much improve ment in the matter of building within the last decade that it isn't just to the public to let anything shoddy go up. Re-en- forced concrete and steel have made il possible to have fireproof buildings and property owners owe this to community Fifteen years ago I noticed for the first | time this sort of building. handsome 10-story building in Cincinnati was erected by man who was interested in the ce- ment business and the whole world sat up and took notice. He wanted to show what could be done with re-enforced con- crete. Today, that building is standing in Cincinnati and probably will be until the end of time. It can't be burned neither can it be destroyed by cyclone" | "What would be your advice to the young man starting out in the world to
 make his way?" I asked.
 | Stick to one thing, if he wants to suc- ceed," said MT. Motion. That is my motto. I have confined my activities to
 city property familiarizing myself with values. and studying necessities when il comes to building, and I say it without l fear of contradiction I have never put ur
 a building that wasn't a success" "And now a last word about the Mol
 ton. Aren't you very proud of this
 achievement?" I asked.
 You'll pardon me, I feel sure, if say l that I am,' MT. Motion acknowledged after my repeated questioning q am really very proud of it. I am equally al proud of the splendid reception it has met with, and the generous patronage it has received. Yes, you may write me dowr as being proud of the Hotel Motion. and
 believe I have just cause to be. Don't you think SOP"

 By the spring of 1ss7," MT Motion said, remniscently, q suppose there were 400 real estate men in Birmingham. There was no place for them to open offices, and many of them occupied show windows in | the stores that were here then. Barber shop cairs were fitted up for people to sleep in, as the hotels were inadequate | If anybody had told you then that to- l day you would be the owner of the fine
 hotel you have built on the corner of Fifth avenue and Twentieth street, what | would you have said?"
 'I don't think anybody would have dreamed that wildly MT. Motion smiled back quickly Why at that time didn't even own a horse and buggy I had to economize on everything in my business | I didn't know what a luxury was. did my own collecting and everything" What was the first sale you ever made?" I asked.
 | I sold the southeast corner of Ninth | street and Third avenue" said MT. Mol ton, land that was the foundation of my | business career. I told you that I owed whatever success I've had to Dr. Smith l Well, the sale of that corner is what threw me into Dr. Smiths way He had up to that time attended to all of his own property and he had a vast amount. He | had allowed me desk space in his offices.
 He was the largest individual taxpayer | at that time in Jefferson county. One 1 day he told me about a tenant who had moved out without paying his rent, and as he'd observed my methods of manag- ing my own business, he said if I'd find the man and collect the rent due, he'd gladly settle matters with me. took the job. I found the man had moved down to the locality I spoke of, and when I asked him about the rent he said he didn' t have the money and couldn't pay 1t, but that he was trying to buy the corner, and he was occupying the little house built on
 the inside 50 feet of the hundred, at Ninth
 and Third avenue. He said if I'd sell the corner for him, he'd pay my commission and also pay Dr. Smith the rent due him
 I sold it and squared him with Dr. Smith and got my commission, and after that

Pumkin Pie Without Eggs

T noticed sometime ago that x. asks for eggless recipes. Peace give her this one for pumpkin pie. 1 am sure she will like it, for it has been declared delicious by many who have tried it: One cup each of pumpkin and sweet milk, one-half cup of maple syrup or two-thrds cup of dark brown sugar gives a flavor almost as good, one tablespoon of cornstarch, three tablespoons of sugar. Flavor with nut meg. If you use canned pumpkin empty it into a saucepan and let it cook slowly for an hour or two. You will find the flavor is greatly improved.
