These side curtains were hung by
means of spring rod few inches be-
hind the rod on which was hung the
pleated valance. Both these rods might
easily be removed, so that the curtains
might be Numbered or cleaned when
ever necessary. This, by the way, is a
very essential point, and is even borne
in mind when placing the box cornices
for the curtains, Ringing on the entire
structure instead of mailing it on. II is
customary in pursuance of this plan 70
have two sets of hangings, so that the
rooms will not be left destitute during
the cleansing process.
The materials used for these side
curtains is delightful. The conven-
tioral, unimaginative Towering used in
the past has entirely gone, giving way
to the richly colored and delightfully."-
patterned chintzes and printed linens
that now offer such profuse variety to
the seeker.
In the guillotine window it is adj
visable to use double white curtains
for the close hangings. One set is
hung from the top to the middle in
slight gathers and the other from the
middle to the bottom of the frame.
While the side curtains are treated
in a similar manner for the easement
windows, whether they are full length
windows or not, the treatment Of the
close hangings differs. But there must
always he this close hanging. For the

Summer Curtain Frames for Your Windows

French window, which is often used as
door when ii opens on the veranda,
the side curtain is pushed back so that
the merest edge of it shows. This may
be done when the outlook is particu-
larly beautiful on some of the other
windows. But all are fastened on a
rod, top and bottom, so that they do
not fly about.
In material these are of plain mar
quisettes and scrims. They are not
bordered. Very delightful for this pur-
pose is the checkered easement cloth
that is being shown now.
The two novelties of the season are
the stripes, in development of what was
used last year And the second is the
very solid and generally very vivid
coloring used in close designs of Egyp-
tian forms.
But in both of these it is strikingly
evinced that the black and white con-
trast in its absolute form is no longer
countenanced. Its vogue is dead before
it has fairly started in life, for the
reason that the contrast is too cold,
TOO unrestful in a home where it is
constantly to be confronted.
A bit of gray or of neutral brown is
introduced for softening of contrast,
or is used entirely for the background.
Thus the stripes, which were formerly
black and white, are now black and
buff. Besides these, there are delight
full buff and greens, buff and violet,
buff and blue. In certain room in

in order to add length of line to the
very short window, omitted the
valance, and had merely each side strip
hung on the short quarter-length rods.
One of the most effective introduce
tions of gray that have seen was in
one of the Egyptian chintzes. This
was a curious and very close pattern IN
black, found in a white ground. But
where the petals curved and the flower
biliowed were splashes of gray that
mellowed the coloring exquisitely. And
here and there, at regular intervals,
were set small pale cerise blossoms TO
introduce coloring to the whole. This
chintz was used in a room whose walls
were gray and whose furniture was in
gray enamel The rug was of rose, or

ITS not only the industrial worker
whom Germany trains TO the highest
efficiency 20 serve the empire" Lorne
Barclay. a director of community CEN
tres told me yesterday. Social work
ors there are educated as civic eX-
rerts. The remarkable development
Of German cities is due, in great part,
to this education.
"Our own need Of expert training
for social workers can scarcely be
overestimated. We nced young men
and women IN every department Of gov
c~ament, of the city and The state,
who understand social conditions and
can deal as experts with the civic
problems OF unemployment, crowded
subways, high taxes, wholesome recre-
alton, etc.
"Why should teaching be the only
profession for which the city offers
training Experts are certainly need
cd in other departments of the public
service beside the schools.
81 understand that the City College
offers one or two courses in chemistry
TO prepare young men to test, for ex-
ample, the food that is bought for the
old folks and children in the city insti-
tutions, and that which is inspected
by the city before it is brought TO our
tables.
"Such courses are fine, but we need
q great many more of them. A large
number of courses in social science
are being offered in the leading univer
sites. but they are too theoretical
"What we need is closer co-opera
ton between the cities and the Uni
versitios. The man who leaves col
lece to 60 into social work doesn't
find himself particularly well prepared
to clean up the streets or let light a@d
air into the tenements by means OF
his study of anthropology or even o.
litical economy. The colleges simply
haven't gotten down 10 the real pr, b.
lens of everyday life. There are

pale grayed cerlse, and two lamps were
of gray enamel, with just two narrow
circles of black painted on the base.
The shades were marked with sill
houettes. A little circlet Of rose silk
was placed under the lamDs, and
seemed to furnish the rosy reflection.
Chintzes and linenes are not used in
the more formal rooms, such as the
dining room or living room. For these
is used neutral toned easement cloth,
either of wool or cotton, or perhaps Of
silk and wool, and sometimes of all
silk.
But rules which say that one is not
to gather either side or close curtains,
draping them at the side, and others Of
the sort, are all open to numerous eX-
ceptions, for if the environment calls
for the forbidden treatment it is pre-
cisely that treatment which is feasible
and no other. If your home is Colo
NAL, and the windows small, and per-
haps diamond PANIED, by al means
gather your white curtains at the sides
with a bit of crocheted cord, and so
make your window an addition to the
decorative scheme of your home.
