said. There appear to be legal

there Is no provision in school funds

ouARM1Ne w1Npew EFFEcTs

The treatment of the windows in a room is extremely important-al- most as important as the walls, the difference being that whereas the walls must be done before the furni- ture, carpets, etc., are placed in the room, the window problem can be left to the end. I say can" but indeed I think it decidedly the best plan. l have found that by far the most satisfactory method of choosing materials for the windows and what ever furniture is to be covered, is to try many materials in the room after the walls are completed. What seems a delightful combination with the color of the walls as we carry that color in our finds, may pfV
 a tragic disappointment when a.
 uallyually carried out.
 Consider the fundamentals: First Is the question of whether or not it is advisable to hide the woodwork of the windows. In deciding this we should bear in mind primarily the width of the window. l feel that the design of the woodwork is not so important for, unless it is ornate beyond endurance, a coat of the right color paint will make it perfectly acceptable. If the win QOWS are very HdITOW u IS BOOu plan to have the curstains start at the side, of the woodwork, which means that the sides of the frame will be completely covered. This ads considerably to the impression of size. Otherwise, I think that as a rule, 1t is prettier to have the cur tains frame the g1ass. This, of course, pertains to curtains which haing straight, not those which are looped back. In the case of the looped-back curtain, the best effect Is gotten by having them meet at the top and then caught neatly back three-a quarters of the way down the window. In general, I think thaf curtains hung in this WAY should

 The membership campaign of the League of Women Voters is in full swing The squads are working hard in keen competition for the beautiful silver loving cup which will be presented to the squad securing the largest number of members The names of the winners will be en- graved on the cup and an individual prize will be given to each at the membership tea on Tuesday after noon. The cup is on display in Herzog- -Thompson's window. The victorious squad will stand in the re- ceiving line at the tea.
 The Fairfield squad, under Mrs. Charles Fiske, is still ahead of the field, and were credited Thursday night, when LulS COluIIln was WflL- ten, with forty-one new members. Mrs. E. J. Burns squad and Mrs. J. Nj. Winters are close behind, and others leading the field are Mrs. Lon Albritton and Mrs. Rudolph Wegelin.
 Mrs. Daugette urges that all work CTS will telephone their reports to headquarters, Main 5S86, by noon on Tuesday so that the count for the prize may be as accurate as possible. Even if the membership fee has not been collected, please turn in names, so that they may be counted in the grand total, and the money may be sent in later.
 Workers are also urged not to cease when they have reached their quora, but to go on and get as many memberships as possible in order to make up for those who may fail to reach the quota. Mrs. Daugette states that all the follow-up work for the campaign before the clubs and other organizations will not be done until after Tuesday and that there fore the reports at the tea will apply to the work of the sq. -ds, will not terminate the campaign as whole.

 All women love valances. l think. There are so many amusing and oharmingly original ways to treat them, too. They are always good, except, perhaps, in a low-ceilinged room. But even then 1 think that very narrow valance or trimming does very little to lower the appar- ent height of the room, and adds much to the charm of the window. l know some do not agree with me on this point. However, when a room is small and low the windows should be trimmed accordingly. If a figured material is used the design should not be large; then, too, it is best to have the curtains reach only to the window sill in such instances. A pretty scheme is to have the valance made of the chintz or other figured material used on the chairs of soft in the room, having the curtains of white or cream colored material.
 l think that good thing to Keep in mind is that window with it's curtains should be as much like a picture in it's frame as possible. Where it is practical, l think it is always wisest not to cover the en- tire window pane even with thin gauge or net curtains. Certainly in the country it is pity, even in a bedroom, to shut out the vistas of trees or flowers. It is a good idea to have these thin inside curtains made so that they can be drawn apart.
 Another interesting and convenient way of using the inside curtains to their best advantage is to have them cut in half-that is, one pair for the upper part of the window and one for the lower. Tn this way the upper pair .can be drawn together should the light be too strong, leav- ing the lower ones apart; thus the view, whatever it may be, will not be lost,
