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

TOW TO make attractive and fadeIess
Kitchen Curtains.
One woman states: Every week
when the laundry was returned it was
a fresh reminder that the children's
clothing was wearing out and that I
needed new towels. tablecloths and
curtains.
81 purchased first of all necessary
clothing for the children and a 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 l
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 | decided
that / could do what others had done
and make muslin curtains for my
kitchen.
$50 1 purchased the material, made
the curtains and hemstitched them on
the sewing machine. i had just fin
ished making one of the Riddles a ging-
ham dress, and scraps of the material
were lying about. As an experiment
picked up small diamond shaped
piece and placed it near the hem of
the curtain, and as it was rather ef-
fective l 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 | 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."

A KINDERCARTNER
How One Woman Got Legislation
Under Way.
FROM MAINE TO THE WEST.

Mothers and CIubwomen of Five of the
United States Have Already Succeed
ed In Getting Better Laws For Early
Education Passed.
During the past few years mothers
and 'clubwomen all over the country
have been growing more and more
alive to the need Of more kindergartens,
and this year they have been success
full in five states in getting better kim
dergarten laws passed.
The women of Maine, Texas and
Washington have the greatest cause
for rejoicing, because their new laws
authorize school boards to open kinder
gartens when parents petition for them.
By having the matter regulated by law
mothers and fathers in these three
states will now have some guarantee
Of success when they ask to have kim
dergarten started in the public school
In their neighbo-hood.
Miss Nellie Brown of the Federation
of Women's Clubs was largely RESPONSE
Bile for the success Of the legislative
campaign in Maine, but it is safe to
say she could have done nothing with
out the support which she received
from the clubwomen and kindergart-
ners of Bangor and from the kinder

garten children themselves. A number
Of these tiny tots drew, colored and cut
American flags for the 1S2 senators
and representatives of the state. Ten
Of the children were present at the
hearing on the bill before the educa-
ton committee and sang America"
and saluted the flag. As they turned
to march out there was a volume of
applause, and when the room was
again quiet the chairman of the COM
mittee said, his face wreathed in smiles,
Miss Brown, guess you've won your
hearing"
In Texas both the Congress Of Moth
ers and the women's clubs were inf1u-
entail in getting their law passed. Un-
der the leadership of Mrs. Griffith Of
the federation and Mrs. Steere Of the
congress a sentiment for kindergartens
was aroused all over the state. The
result was that when it came time to
think of introducing bill the state SUI
perintendent of education framed it
and college presidents and professors
were glad to speak in its behalf.
This wealth of public support not
only made it easy to put the bill
through, but is now helping the Texan
workers in their efforts to put the law
into effect
Mrs. George W. Steere of Fort
Worth, Tex, was at the forefront of
the work in her state to obtain a good
kindergarten law, and the governors
signature to the bill was hardly dry
before she was launched on q cam
paign reaching from Ell Paso to Gal
reSton to interest parents in petitioning
Tor classes
Some of the arguments she used sue
cesSfully with legislators were:
The early years are the most i'm
preSSionable. and in wise educational
system these years should not be left
unprovided for.
Little children are given a good start
not only in school, but in life, through
the excellent training which the kim
oersarten gives.
The majority of parents who want
kindergarten training for their chill
oren cannot afford to pay tuition at pri-
Fate kindergartens.
The kindergarten Is democratic In
nat 1t brings educational advantages
% all children before any must leave
Eaool to go to work.

Fabric Gloves.

Fabric gloves have gained q great
vogue since the beginning of the Euro
pean war. One sees women wearing
them for all but evening occasions.
Some Of the fabric weaves are so fine
and so cleverly made that one cannot
tell them from suede at a short dis
lance, and they are shaped to the hand
with a care that was never before be-
slowed on this kind Of glove. Gray Is
most effective, as are some shades of
suede and tan.

operation and the mention OF places,
but within those close limits some
general idea can be given OF the he
roic resistance the main part OF the
Italian army gave TO the rush Of over
whelming numbers.
The greatest shock came on the
north. where the Isonzo first was
crossed. Here occurred the weaken
ing OF certain detachments OF the
second army. which General Cadorna
had bulletined with frankness OF a
great commander. II was this weak
ening which gave the German con-
tlngents the opportunity at critical
moment TO pass forward between a
portion OF the army on the north
and that on the line fruther south.
Double Exposure.
Now began the double exposure on
the southern force to fire in the front
and on the flank. which required a
steady falling back until the entire
army was in movement toward the
newly established positions further

which can only be sketched in the
broadest outlines, some sections sus-
tanned shocks of exceptional intens-
ity. The commanding height Of
Monte Nero, which the Italians had
occupied after deeds of great valor,
was defended against onslaughts
developed in development.
Added to this was the suddenness
of the surprise blow from the north
which developed into a turning fire
before the southern armies and also
on their extreme flank, gradually ex-
tending to their rear. II was to ex-
tricate the troops from this situa-
ton that the retirement began all
along the advanced positions occu-
pied by the Italian army within Aus
trian territory.
Retirement Orderly.

southeastward thru Gorizia to Mon

army occupied most of the front
above Gorilla, the third army that
below Gorilla.
The retirement was accomplished
by shielding operations OF the rear
guard. which poured a deadly fire
into the advancing columns and at
the same time destroyed powder ie-
pots. arsenals and bridges with the
double purpose OF giving time for
the withdrawal OF the Italian heavy
guns and OF preventing military
stores falling into the hands OF the
enemy.
