CURTAIN FABRICS.

New curtains give refurnished air
to any room, and perhaps that is why
we change our curtains so often. Few
Of us watt until curtains are actually
worn ont before changing them. We
discard the old ones and make them
over into dust cloths and curtains for
the laundry and dust covers for the
furniture on sweeping days-and we
buy new ones to hang at the windows.
Just now, simple curtains are the
fashion, and for this we may all be
glad. Nothing Is much more distress
ing than the sort of curtains people
once used. They dressed their win
dows for appearances sake-that is to
say, they dressed them to look well
from outside, very often. When they
dressed them for inside appearance,
they also made them much too elabor-
ate to suit modern taste, and sometimes
hung as many as three sets OF curtains
and two sets of shades at each window.
The idea nowadays is to consider win
dows as wonderful opportunities for
letting air and light into our houses.
We also consider them as frames for
beautiful views In bedrooms we put
only such curtains as are needed to
make the windows attractive to the
eye, and to soften the light. White
shades faced with dark green or two
sets of shades are advisable. In the
country, where there are no close
neighbors, chintz curtains hung at the
side Of the windows are the only ones
necessary. If there are near neigh
bors or passersby, net or swiss cur
tains attached to the sash are useful
These are raised when the window Is.
and so they keep out no air.
Net or scrim curtains are quite elab-
crate enough for anybody's living room
or reception room or drawing room.
They should be made in straight oblongs.
Scrim can be hemstitched, and net can
have a border design run in silk or cot
ton threads.
Velour is used for the second set OF
curtains very often. These curtains are
often lined with silk. However, thin
silk curtain answers the purpose of the
second set very well. There is a really
beautiful japanese chintz, too, at 80
cents a yard, that is suitable for the
second set of curtains in living room
or dining room.
Plaid ginghan is used now for kitch-
en- curtains. 1t is used in brown and
white, blue and white, or green and
white, according to the color of the
kitchen decorations.

MANY RED VELVET GOWNS ARE WORN.
BY ANNE RITTENHoUsE.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
NEW YORK, November 15.-When
the buyers of American gowns saw. IN
Paris, at the house Of Paquin, the req
velvet frock worn by Nine. Joire, VINO
is virtually the head Of the house, they
knew that we would soon follow suit.
Later they saw O deep red velvet red
ingote coat at the house of Cheruit, and
after that many red hats, and the fash
ion for the tone was established.
They knew that it was not easy to
persuade Americans to adopt red as
street color; and they knew that red
hats are rarely becoming to the face.
so they brought home with them a
neat little problem as to whether or
not they should launch more than a
few frocks and suits in this color.
They decided to have enough to snow
ing French color for winter. and then
let the problem solve itself, which 1t is
now doing. There is no doubt that
more red gowns are worn than the
dressmakers thought possible. A large
number of women seem to nave no rear
of the color even in it's brilliant Carl
baldi shade, and they soften 1t down
quite effectively with black. dark blue
or beige

Manicuring Lessons.
Lesson 5.-Au Manicured! White

Spots.
"There! Your nails are manicured."
said the bustling little manicure, lean
ing back and looking proudly at her
work. Have ! hurt you? Are your
nails soree No? Just remember that
the right manicuring, which is the gem
tie manicurine, does not hurt the nails,
does not leave them sore or bleeding,
and gives you an added sense of per-
sonal comfort In fact, it is resting to
the nerves.
them sore run hot water on them. ana
IL they bleed apply a weak solution OF
lysol or a little peroxide of hydrogen
Your nails are in such bad con-
dition that the process OF shaplns them
at the sides may take a little time and
patience. Sometimes in such a case it
is well to let them grow out once quite
long, in order to get them back In their
natural proportions at the SIDES, II you
have been narrowing them too nuch.
How often should you manicure?
Once a week is enough If you give
them little daily attention, with oil
and emery board and polish. BY all
means don't keep digging at them.
and don't get lazy and say you haven't
time to do them. Five minutes every
day will work wonders. If they get
bad again come to me; in fact, bad
cases Of nails should always be taken
to professional manicure TO get them
started right. go.
Brittle nails that break easily, Gu
ticle that cracks and peels. the entire
hand, If dry, should be oiled well every
night, and should even get dash of
cream every time they are washed. 1t
all helps to soften and nourish the skin
and keep up the well bred appearance
OF the hand.
Instead of using a knife or stick on
the nails every time they are washed.
II they are not very dirty, use one nail
to clean another.
Your right hand? You can't mani
cure 1t? Tut, tut! You can If you try.
Persist and soon you will be able to
manicure left and right equally well.
'"Those white spots. I know you are
waiting impatiently to hear about them.
Prevent them, you can't remove them.
1t is generally said that they come
from bruises on the surface of the
nail. especially at the base, where the
growing nail Is very soft, OF farther
down on the finger, where the root of
the nail grows in a groove in the skin.
Gentleness is the remedy. Don't press
them with your Instruments, don't hit
at your work. AS the careful treat
ment, oiling and polishing go on the
odious white spots will grow off with
the growing nail and not reappear
Ridges on the nails are also usually
due to rough treatment. The ridgy ef-
feet may be lessened by frequent pol
ishing.
