successfully followed in several apart

with similar cretonne, Is placed be-

gether in effect. the unity Of the VIM
dows will be further enhanced and they
will appear much coser.
Treating High Windows.
One clever woman had three very
high and separate windows in one wall
of a living room. She used the plain
bobbinet for inside curtains on each
window. She then purchased a heavy
quality of monks cloth in a tan shade,
and made from 1t strips for each side
Of the outside windows, and a valance
ten inches deep to so across all three.
For the small sum Of 50 carpenter
made her a chest to fit under the
middle window, which she covered with
the same monks cloth. and pillows of
various kinds. This plan resulted In a
most attractive window effect which
was anything but bare. and which
was very far removed from the con-
ventional lace curtain window, which
is only attra ctive when 1t has a great
deal OF space.
The same idea can be carried out in
many bedrooms, where the bright
chintzes and cretonne can easily be
used to make the angular window space
Into a more cozy and attractive out.

and aspire.

Harlequin
Was a wind of the spring that came
out of the dawn.
He was air. he was whim. he was
fancy and mirth.
And his feet on the earth
Were as fleet as the feet of a faun.
He was tickle as glimmers of star
light that shine
On the waves of the rivers of dream;
he was tricky as wine.
He was pagan as Pan;
A dancer, a lover, a liar. a wit,
A poet. n satyr, an imp with the face
of a man:
And his heart was unstable as wings

Where the dragonflies drift,
His heart was as wings that turn,

And his loves were a. swift.

~ UR modern windows are all too
often too narrow and high to be
~ artistic. and frequently resemble
the unattractive windows Of old
public buildings.
1t is however, easy to shorten the
long axis Of window and make 1t more
attractive by several plans. Instead Of
hanging the curtains directly over the
window, they can be hung outside the
window trim on the curtain rod extend
ing four or six inches beyond the trim
itself; or this outside may for six
inches be devoted to a cretonne or other
heavy material hung along the wall
with the small net or scrim curtains
hung on the window proper and reach
ing to the sill. This extra strip OF
cretonne on either side Of the window
Will make It appear wider and give the
illusion that there Is window or glass
under these strips.
Add To Width.
Then have a valance Of from eight to
ten inches depth hung across the top Of
the window. which will shorten the ap-
parent height Of the window and also
add to its width. The valance may be
Of cretonne and match the side hang
ings or merely "a valance without the
side pieces can be used to give the
lower effect
II two windows are not FAR apart
and seem unattractively and barely
placed in the wall space, they can be
tied together, as 1t were, by extending
the valance across the wall space be-

oblivious of the fact?

her a great deal of attention. and If
she Is true friend of yours she
OuHnt 10 discourage IL. one may u'
fiattered to think that she Is able
to claim some Of his attention from
you without really suspecting that
he means anything by 1t.
Aren't there ways that you could
manage to prevent them from seeing
each other 40 often. Surely. you do
not 1,ed to invite her to your house
