SOME QUAINT TABLE SCREENS
Mahogany Frame Designed to be
Packed and Carried When One
is Travelling About.

There is always something new, or.
1t nay be, something old in a guise
that adds novelty to its other attrac-
lions. A case in point is n of the
dear, little table screen reproduc-
lions of an antique original which have
lately been scoring a great success.
Standing about fifteen inches high, he
screen consists Of & mahogany frame
that lifts out of a neat turned foot, so
that the whole thing can be packed up
into a small compass for travelling.
Within the frame is mounted a beau
tifully wrought needlework picture.
Whether the subject be a study of some
gracious early Victorian figure or an
old-world garden scene, rendered with
a delicacy and truth to nature, 1t
makes the little picture a never-failing
source of pleasure.
And, apropos OF the garden pictures,
there is another to be seer which Is
a verltablc work Of art, often the nc
tual presentment of some particular
garden, whose owner had selected this
medium of keeping a remembrance q
its benuty. Allied to this style of en-
broidery are the motto pictures, en-
bodylng some ~favorite or cOnsolatory
motto or verse with specially chosen
landscape or flower devices.

To Clean Windows.

There seems to be considerable diff
ference Of opinion as to the best way
to clean windows. Housewives usually
depend upon ordinary warm soapsuds
and on laundry soap for making It.
After drying the glass with clean, dry
cloths, paper Is used for giving 1t a
finish polish. On damp days when
moisture gathers on the glass, wipIng
off the windows with warm dry cloths
is said to clean them very well. Many
experienced cleaners do not use soap
for window cleaning, but plenty Of
clean warm water applied with a
sponge. The quickest way to clean
windows on n bright day is to wet
whiting with water to the consistency
OF cream and apply 1t to the windows
with a small piece of cloth. When
quite. dry. remove the whiting with n
larger dry cloth and finally polish with
newspaper.
Hanging Curtains.
To make thin sash easement cur
talns hing evenly, make the casing
for the curtain rod, insert the rod and
hang the material from the fixtures.
Now draw down ti.e window shade as
far as you wish the curtain to come
when finished. With bottom Of shade
ms n guide the hem may be pinned or
basted and the curtain viii hang
straight. This will be found much
better than measuring the stuff and
hemming before hanging.
When hanging curtains that are long
err than the usual sill length, measure
half the width Of the window, lay your
curtains out on the floor, put n plait
the full length of the curtain, near the
back edge. Now put your curtain up
over the pole and pin 1t to get the
right length take it down again and
basic so that the pole will slip through
easily. Turn the superlluous length
over the back, fold into a three-lnch
hem and stitch in place. Thus you
avoid either cutting off the curtain or
having an extra length hanging I'M
evenly mex to the window shade.
Opaque Screens.
The ordinary wire netting for doors
and windows offers no protection from
pryIng eyes. This al be remcdied
by giving the outside of all screens a
coat of thin white paint. Strange as II
may seem, the paint will not be notice
able, and while those inside may look
out through the screens, outsiders can.
not see into the room. The paint
should be made rs thin as possible
with turpentlne and applied with q
fiat brush.
