HANDY CURTAIN STRETCHERS
Devices Soon Pay for Themselves In
Saving Workers Time and Wear
and Tear on Curtains.

Curtain stretchers do not cost much,
and soon pay for themselves in saw
ing the workers time and wear and
tear on the curtains. Also, most kinds
of curtains hang better If stretched
into shape rather than ironed. In buy
ing curtain stretchers 1t is worth while
to pay little more for good, rigid
kind that can also be used for dry
ing blankets. Blankets dried on
stretcher keep their shape.
The pins in a curtain stretcher may
be movable SO as to fit all the seal
lops of curtain, but stationary pins
are more satisfactory and substantial.
Instead Of having pins on the stretch
er. many housewives wrap up the
frame with heavy ticking or tape and
pin the curtains or blankets to their
pieces Some frames are tied togeth-
er at the corners with strips of tape
or muslin, but clamps cost very little
and are much more convenient.

questions much discussed. AL house
wives agree, however, that the unfin-

Maple Widely Used.
Maple is one of the woods most used

very durable, and when oiled is proof

There are variety of concrete and

now on the market which are adver-
