WindouO Shades OF Cretonne, Net and

Why is it that although people
will change almost everything else
in a house or apartment which they
rent, they nearly always neglect the
window shades which were there
when they came ?"
She was investigating anew the
apartment which she had Just rent
ed. and looking with pronounced
disfavor at the window shades in
the living room. They were just
ordinary Holland shades, absolute
ly ineffective and quite undecorative
as they were useful.
Those in the living room we're

ton which she then asked the land
lord: why is it that one sees green
shades in every apartment house ?''
He supposed that green shades were
chosen because they gave a good
light, or made the room cooler. per
haps; he was still supposing when
his future tenant departed for the
region of stores with samples of
wall paper bullying from her shop
ping bag.
A week later the landlord could
hardly assure himself that this was
the same apartment, at least so far
as the window shades were con
cerned. For every dark green
shade had vanished, and the bed
room windows were gay with Gre

adorned those of the living and din

ard Of art in pictures, music and lit

The value Of good music in the
home cannot be overestimated. For
tunate the child whose ear is &C
customed from the cradle TO beau
tiful sound and melody. And yet
even more fortunate the child who
is accustomed TO hearing the singing
voices of those about him. Child
rem love 70 hear songs, children's
songs, big peoples songs. and folk
songs. They love TO hear the songs
and the lullaby grandmother used to
of long ago when mother was child,
sing. The child loves especially a
bedtime song. sung at the crib be-
fore the final goodnight.
Storytelling is a great art and
the mother or father who has this
gift can give their children un-
baunded JOY and fill them with fond
memories Of the story-hour that will
never be forgotten.
As for moral influences in the
home, il is the words the child
hears US speak, the things he sees
US do which will have the greatest
effect on his nature, such as res

ward the grandmother, the grand
father, the aunt, the uncle; our at
titude toward those in our employ.
and so on. Family festivals will
will make ever glorius impressions on
the child's mind.
The spirit of charity should per-
meate the home. The little child is
too young 10 know how 10 help the
less fortunate. but he will imbibe
the home spirit and with his grow
ing understanding adopt the ideals
by which he is surrounded.
Above all other influences the
most telling is that which the par
ents create by means of their rela-
tiOnship 10 each other. If peace reigns
supreme and father and mother
live as one having a deep, true,
earnest affection for each other, fac
ing together the joys and sorrows.
and experimenting each others
strength at every turn, there is no
greater legacy parents can leave
their children than the influence

The first consideration in plan

TO be done mainly by means of
horse tools, the arrangement should
be such as 10 give the longest pos

should be free from paths across

cultivation, the arrangement can be
quite different, as the garden may
be laid off sections, with transverse
walks, and the rows can be much
