Draping double glass doors is often
quite n serious problem for the home
maker. These doors are so essential
ly for use, and sash curtains are so
ugly and elaborate drapings at the
sides so meaningless, that usually the
doors are left bare and plain and un-
interesting.
In the Illustration for this article,
a charming and graceful idea is given
for doing away with the hard outline
Of the ordinary double door. The
doors are glass and through the one
at the left hand you see the window
in the porch beyond with glimpse of
landscape.
No inner curtains are used here and
the outer draperies are very full, very
soft, double wolfe. The outer curtain
a deep Chinese blue and the inner
| curtain or lining n pale Chinese red.
The combination of colors Is delight
| ful and the curtain tiebacks are tar
| nished gold. 1t is we'll to note care
fully the way the curtains are ,draped
from the outer edge and quite high.
This leaves the lower part OF the doors
| exposed for light. makes graceful
| folds in the curtains, and shows the
| bright lining. The cornice is also
| furnished gold.

JUST A BEGINNING

The Blue Mountain Highway prop
osition is especially fortunate and
almost unique in the respect that
there is no dispute over the route.
Everyone is apparently agreed that
the road should run from Elgin to
Weston, following in a general way
the old Toll Gate route. And there
is universal and enthusiastic acqui-
escence in the idea that Weston is
the proper connecting point at this
end, providing a halfway terminal
on the Oregon Washington highway
that is fair alike to all the towns
concerned. Such being the case, one
would specifically suppose that all
is over but the building, since the
great need Of the road is alike ap-
parent to the governing bodies of
Union and Umatilla counties and to
the Forest Service. Not so. There
is a vast amount of work to do, in
volving painstaking research, infinite
detail and voluminous correspond
ence. The associations executive
committee, and more especially its
secretary, has no enviable job, The
officers, who are volunteering their
services without thought of recon-
pense, are therefore entitled to the
hearty cooperation and assistance of
every loyal friend Of this great un-
dertaking.
