DRAPERIES

From England, France and the best of our
own American looms come new Drapes
and Curtainings to comprise the choicest
assemblage of fabrics that we have ever
presented for Summer Homes. Never
before have patterns been SO varied and
so interesting; never before have colors
been so rich or combined with so much
originality. There is host of novelties
in Cretonnes, Glazed Chintzes and Arti-
fetal Silks, and wide array of new de-
signs in Voiles, Scrims and Nets.
For treating windows in surnrnery ways,
there are curtains of hand drawn Scrins
and Marquisettes, dainty Grenadines,
Madras. fine Voiles with tie backs-and
charming lace trimmed Bobbinets for the
nursery.
The woman who chooses to make her
own curtains and bed spreads will delight
in picking her yardage from Novelty
Scrims and Marquisettes, Swisses, colored
Jewell Cloth, large mesh Filet Nets, and
dainty effects in blocked Voiles with
colored satin stripes.
To valance the window, to drape the arch,
to hang in nook or corner, or to mellow
the light of the sun parlor, there are Light
weight artificial Silk fabrics in Shikii and
pebble weaves and in two-tone and stripe
conbinations-and Cretonnes that sug-
gest the wealth of an Oriental bazaar.

way with this arrangement, he pro-
tested on grounds that / was trying
to make it easy for him.
Nothing of the sort" | explained.
When they taught you TO swim they
threw you overheard in deep water. 1t
was a quick way of learning, but. a s
you probably remember quite vividly,
you came near not learning. 1t is the
same with driving car; lot of peo-
pie will be telling you to go right
down into the thick of traffic before
you do anything else. l don't agree
with them: I'm willing to ride in traf-
flc with you after ! have seen you
make neat start and stop before
your own house"
Leaves the Family Behind.
So Smith let me do the swimming
for him till we got where the streets
we had pulled up before his house.
and after the family had all cast ad-
miring glances at the new car, Smith
and / went off by ourselves.
Selfish? That depends upon how you
look at it. OF course the family want
ed to go out with him for the event
full first ride, but 1t was for the very
reason that first rides are eventful
that Smith decided to try II alone
with me.
Now, what caused thato" he asked
at length, referring to the jerking of
the car when he started.
Simply that you let the clutch in
too quickly" | replied. IF you will
feed gas in modera tion and let in the
clutch gently at the same time. the
power will be transmitted to the rear
wheels without jerking. There is con-
siderable slack in the transmission,
pinion and differential gears and in
the universal joints. BY letting in the
clutch gently it is possible to double
the life of these vital parts"
Smith made pretty good showing
for himself that afternoon and drove
into the garage like a regular mem
ber of the clan. Here, however. ne
made a mistake. He tipped the garage
attendant and told him to back the
car in d stall. 1 warned him against
making this a habit, for it is diff
ficult to handle car in a garage and
that is all the more reason why a new
driver should try 1t, provided he has
some ono around to guard against
damaging the other machines.
Smith stepped back into the car and.
ten minutes later. was boasting Of
having successfully backed his first
car into a difficult space. That's Smith
for you!

No. THE FIRST DAY OUT.

1t was not the first day of spring
that Smith set aside for his initiation
into the great clan of motorists, but
there was the spirit of wanderlust In
the air and it was Saturday after
noon.
Accordingly, at the appointed hour
the proud owner met me at the
service station carrying the license
plates under his arm. These he
turned over to a mechanic with IN
structions to attach them to the car
and then began outlining to IN, me
ernoon. Right there l called a halt
and suggested that it might be ad-
visable to watch the mechanic and
not be crossing bridges before he
came to them.
IF you want to know your car in

eyes and ears open whenever the
car is in care of mechanic. Thou
sands of motorists are content to
trust everything to mechanics; that
is why they are up against it when
they have trouble on the road"
l stopped d moment to take the
instruction book from one of the side
pockets. Opening the book l pointed
to typical line of instruction which
read:
1.-The idling adjusting screw should
be screwed in until il stops. then
screwed out in counter -clockwise di-
rection ten notches. which is the
normal adjustment.
Smith Gets Wise Tip.
Now that" l said. tells how to
adjust the gas mixture, but such in
structions are often difficult for the
car owner to understand. If the
expense were not prohibitive, manu-
facturers would doubtless send
representative to explain these di-
rections in person. But here is the
point: This mechanic understands
the car we'll any representative
the manufacturer might employ, only
he is not bound to tell you what you
ought to know. By watching him,
you see. and by asking him questions
YOU can get the equivalent of expert
advice

had it all planned to drive out of

to have something else TO think of.

But / kept him itching. I told him
that would drive the car till we were

INITIATE BY DEGREES.
Several Trips to Pump Better
Than One.

Tire imitation ought to be done in
installments rather than all at once.
Most drivers will admit that the usual
procedure is to let the matter slide
until the tires look low, and then run
them way up to 55 for cords and 20
for fabrics. or perhaps higher. This
makes an abrupt change in the cars
riding qualities; rattles and squeaks
suddenly appear and every one is an
noyed. It Is also bad for tires that
have been weakened by underinf1a-
ton to be suddenly strained by over
imitation. IT Is far better to educate"
the passengers and the tires to higher
pressures by making several trips to
the tire pump instead of one. thereby
increasing the pressure by degrees.
