CURTAINS FOR DINING ROOM
Figured and FIowered Chintz CHEEKY
Printed Linens Also Provide a
Very Satisfactory Material.

Figured or Powered chintz curtains
are cheerful and especially to be rec
commended for the informal dining
room; or, if the room is furnished in
oak and the windows are fairly large,
some Of the newer, printed linens
which are heavier than chintz may be
used. A darker tone of the wall color
Is good choice for silk hangings, and
If the dining room is very small, is
usually to be preferred to the brighter
and more insistent figured materials.
There are many quaint Chinese pat
terms, which would go well with Chip
pendale suite. Fabrics printed with
classic motifs are to be had for the
Adam dining room, and, if selected in
soft gray green which was the Adams
favorite color, they will seem to be
much "of the period" Good plain
materials for side curtains are silk
repps and rough Shantung silk, or, for
the small room which lacks light,
thinner silk; while more formal fab
rics, such as damasks, brocades and
yelvetS, are in order for the formal
type of dining ROOM The thin net cur
tains, next the glass, can usually be
dispensed with in the dining room,
where the silk side Grapes will be
found sufficient.

TINY CROSS STITCH ANIMALS
Latest In Hand Needlework on Ju-
veniIe Costumes-CoIored Cotton
or Worsted May Be Used.

Hand stitchery continues to give
the touch of distinction to simple lit
tie frocks made of inexpensive mate
rails. Shocking, feather stitching,
hemstitching, tiny hand run pin tucks,
small buttonholes worked with ex-
quisite care, daintify dresses for tiny
girls these days, and a little frock of
cross barred dimity, shocked or feath-
er stitched, with minute buttonholes
fastening over lace buttons is infinite
ly better style than an deliberately
trimmed costume loaded with machine
made lace.
The latest thing in hand needlework
on juvenile costumes is cross stitch
animals. Rabbits, kittens, lambs,
cows and other lovable beasties-from
the childish standpoint-are worked
in cross stitch with colored cotton or
worsted, the designs being somewhat
conventionaliZed and rather square
and angular, but Enthusiastically rep
resenting what they intend to.
A red and white striped gingham
frock for little girl of eight has a
white pique yoke cross stitched with
tiny rabbits in red. A white and blue
percale has cross stitch bluebirds and
so on. The cross stitch animals are
very tiny and are usually embroidered
in border effect, each design taking
up exactly the same space and the
pattern being geometrical and less reg
ular when completed

DICTATES or FASHION

Wolfe shi"twaist frocks have long,
sashes of self material.
Many jersey dresses are trimmed
with heavy lace.
The untrimmed low-cut necks of
dresses are becoming only to plump
and lovely throats.
Many of the prettiest georgette
frocks have only tucks and hand
drawn work for ornament
A smart sport coat is made of black
satin lined and trimmed with black
and white tartan.
A dress of white dotted rose foulard
can be very attractive if trimmed with
Blown rabbit fur.

Many of the new fall suits have a
high necked vest of the same cloth as
the suit with fur collar. Others have
these vests in contrasting color.
A lovely little boudoir cap is made
of net, banded with little rulings of
half-inch wide pink ribbon. The cap
is cut with long point, like the to-
boggan caps of childhood, and on the
very tip end is downy pink tassel
that hobs on the shoulder.

PLEASANT WAY ALWAYS BEST
Sting Out of Request That Must
Be Refused.

Do you know how to take the sting
out of anything unpleasant you have
to do? 1t is a good plan to learn how
to do this.
"She said she couldn't do 1t, but you
know how Eff would say such.a thing.
She tries so hard to make everybody
feel pleasant. Now, when l say no,
people understand that / mean no"
Marcia looked as well pleased with
herself as If she had announced more
amiable characteristic. She was girl
with peculiarly blunt and uncom-
promising manner. If she refused re-
quest, her refusal was as downright as
blow. 1t was never softened by any
little phrase suggesting regret. And
Marcia was so well satisfied with her.
self that she felt something like con-
tempt for the way Fife took the sting
out of saying no, and made the people
TO whom she refused favor as CRATE
full as if she had granted it.
The girl who starts to go through
life with her elbows out is going to
find the road hard to travel If she
prides herself on being blunt and out
spoken, she may need to use that as
consolation fer her sore heart many a
time. 1t pays to make even refusal
pleasant. 1t pays to take out the sting
whenever possible, and drop in the
honey. One who starts out as Marcia
did. priding herself on being blunt, and
~
is likely to come to old age friendless
and embittered. Learn to be pleasant
and take out the sting-Exchange

and evening wear 1t is elaborate
enough for most occasions but not too
elaborate for informal dinners. The

fashion for many months One such
double-purpose gown is made of silver
gray charneuse with curious draperies
caught up in the front TO form hem

small train at the back and the inev-
liable panel of tulle hangs straight
down from the shoulders and is
weighted with pale gray beaded band
Ing. Except where it is sewed TO the
collar the collar has no further con-
nection with the dress, which would.
indeed, be quite complete without it.

ADD COLOR TO THE GARDEN
Goldfnches, Always Attracted by Sun;
flowers, Make Beauty Spot
Especially Attractive.

A very familiar bird in our gardens,
especially when there are sunhowers
growing there, is the beautiful little
American goldfnch.
Their deep black wings and tail and
little cap form striking, though pleas
ing, contrast to their bright yellow
bodies.
Because Of their sweet, canary-like
notes they are often called wild ca
naries.
They are very sociable little bifdss
being found usually In small focks;
they even build their nests In small
communities.
When winter approaches the male
changes his bright yellow coat for one
of soberer color closely resembling
that Of the female.
Numbers OF them feed upon the sum
flowers in my garden every year, and 1T
is a pleasing sight to go in there and
see their bright yellow bodies flashing
In the sun.
They are hardy little fellows, SPEND
ing the entire winter with us.--New
