Of all trocks, those that give most
satisfaction in the wearing are the
simple, graceful and chic afternoon
gowns in which women spend so
much of their time. The materials
and the colors that are popular for
them this season make them more eff
fective than ever, and designers are
making the most Of their opportuni-
ties by turning out colorful and grace
full models, adapting the style to the
age of the wearer. Everyone, from
the youngest little girl that has got
beyond babyhood, to grandmother, is
allowed frocks of the lovely midsum-
mer materials that are universal ia
vorites.

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 1t.
After drying tine 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
sponge. The quickest way to clean
windows on bright day is to wet
whiting with water to the consistency
of cream and apply It to the windows
with small piece of cloth. When
quite dry. remove the whiting with a
larger dry cloth and finally polish with
newspaper.
Hanging Curtains.
To make thin sash easement cur.
tains hang evenly, make the casing
for the curtain rod. insert the rod and
hang the material from the fixtures.
Now draw down the window shade as
far as you wish the curtain to come
when finished. With bottom of shade
as guide the hem may be pinned or
basted and the curtain will hang
straight. This will be found much
better than measuring the stuff and
llemming 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 a plat
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 1t down again and
haste so that the pole will slip through
easily Turn the superf1uous length
hem and stitch in place. Thus you
avoid either cutting off the curtain or
having an extra length hanging I'M
evenly next to the window shade.
Opaque Screens.
The ordinary wire netting for doors
and windows offers no protection from
prying eyes. This can be remedied
by giving the outside of all screens a
coat of thin white paint. Strange as it
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 as thin as possible
with turpentine and applied with
fiat brush.

anges. lemons and apple cups. make
desirable receptacles for salads. A
variety of colors are to be avoided in

In cases of extreme nausea, when
milk in any other form can neither be
