ANOTHER ECONOMY.
How to Make Attractive and Fsdslsss
Kitchen Curtains.

One woman states: Every week
when the laundry was returned II was
fresh reminder that the children's
clething was wearing out and that |
needed new towels, tablecloths and
curtains.
81 purchased first Of all necessary
clothing for the children and few
pieces OF household linen. My kitchen
curtains were threadbare, but every
time planned to purchase new ones a
more pressing need swallowed the
money.
Curtains do not last forever, and
when mine were positively hopeless ]
suddenly remembered reading about
unbleached muslin curtains. Now, IN
bleached muslin curtains did not have
an attractive sound, and | had never
seen curtains OF this material, but hav-
ing such a tiny allowance I decided
that | could do what others had done
and make muslin curtains for my
kitchen.
$50 i purchased the material, made
the curtains and hemstitched them on
ished making one Of the kiddies a ging-
ham dress, and scraps of the material
were lying about. AS an experiment
picked up a small diamond shaped
piece and placed 1t near the hem OF
the curtain, and as II was rather ef-
fective | tried another piece, and this
gave me an idea which | proceeded to
work out.
Just above the hem OF the curtain
| placed six diamond shaped pieces OF
gingham about four inches apart.
After basting them in place I stitched
them around the edge (using the sew
ing machine), and at the top | made
a casing for the curtain rod by sewing
a narrow strip Of Bingham on the mus
lin"

FALL FROcKS.
Points About tho New
Lines Of One Gown.

The new frocks are delightful. They
are more pleasing-just because they
are new-than last seasons frocks. and
they are attractive enough IN them
selves 10 merit the favor OF women who
are insistent about lines and chic, those
two mysterious qualities that are so
much more important than mere mate
rial or color interest.
The fall frocks approach the once IA
miliar princess lines very closely. In
fact they are princess frocks minus
the sheath effect always associated
with princess ideals. All the new lines
are straight, and the silhouette most
desirable now suggests straightness
and slenderness-the boyish, undevel-
oped figure rather than the much
curved feminine figure which was sup
posed to 'set on princess model to
advantage. The modern frock elimi-
mates curves at bust and hip. and Its
straight lines are interfered with very
little by the inevitable sash or girdle
which draws In the soft material above
or below the natural waist line just
enough to relieve the silhouette Of any
suggestion OF clumsiness or angularity.
Sometimes the skirt Is attached 10 the
bodice two inches or so below the
waist line, and narrow sash is drawn
around the united bodice at the waist,
never snugly, but just enough TO show
that the figure Is really trim and shape
ly and not straight up and down." A
frOck OF this type is Of black satin
with panel running from the neck
opening to the edge Of the skirt. The
bodice, fastening at either side over
the panel with covered buttons. is at
tached without gathers TO rather deep
yoke and falls IN unified lines to the
hip. Here the tunic Is %hirred on, and
the tunic also buttons 10 the front pan
el giving long line from neck to
ankle. A narrow sash OF the material
passes around the waist. crosses at the
back and comes around TO tie loosely
at the front over the panel. This frock
has coat sleeves with turned back Guns
Of white wash satin and turnover
collar Of the white satin finishing V
neck opening. At the edge Of the tunic
Is one OF the new, very deep hens,
turned up twelve inches on the outer
side and then stitched In rows and
rows with black silk.

A Word TO the Wise.

There Is no more unwise procedure
IL you have not perfectly proportioned
figure Of average height than to select
a new hat while seated before a mir
ror. Most of the mirrors In millinery
salons are placed above tables, and one
sits comfortably while the beguiling
saleswoman places CONNECTION and crea-
ton upon ones head. Nothing can do
more harm to silhouette than the
wrong sort OF hat, and II is wise wO
man who tries on hats before a full
length mirror. She is not the woman
who walks abroad In too wide brfm.
med hats that make her look dumpy
or tall crowned little turbans that make
her head absurdly out Of proportion
with the rest Of her figure.
