Sinister stars are supposed TO doml-

Early in the morning women should
push all their domestic and business
interests.
This is read as a configuration un-

ticed. 1t is not an auspicious time
to take any chances.
In love as we'll as business men and
women tomorrow may. be entirely too
trusting. Caution should rule.
Under this direction of the stars
both sexes may be much inclined to-
ward unwarranted self-esteem.
Egotism may be even more preva.
lent than usual and for this reason
many persons unfit for public service
will seek political Office
There is a threatening sign for
aviation, which is read as indicating
necessary changes in ambitious plans.
The seers call attention to the in
activity of independent thinkers, who
will criticize without working seriously
for reforms.
Again astrologers prognosticate for
the Christmas trade an unusual vol
ume of sales.
December is to be a month of i'm

Methods of Drying Sheer Curtains
BIZ LYDIA LE BARON wALKER.

woven curtaining is not so adaptable,
but If the curtains are laundered on
sunny day when a breeze is blow
ing, and the stretchers are placed
where the sun strikes them, and the
wind can play about and through the
curtains, they viii dry more quickly
by far than as if they were ironed.
If the home maker does not own
these handy stretchers, she can resort
to the old.time method of drying the
curtains on a sheet spread on car
peted floor or some big rug in the
room where it belongs. The sheet
must be fastened to the floor covering
securely and with edges absolutely
strfiy yht Then each curtain is dried
in turn on it by pinning through the
edsas into the sheet and the capet.
Tha edges of this sheet supply the
gauge for even edges of curtains.
Window Drying Method.
When curtains have a hem at both
top and bottom they can be dried on
the rods in the window from which
they came. But one curtain can be
dried at time. 1t must be hung per-
fectly even on the rod at the top of
the window and then have a second
rod run through the lower hem.
".
one of the filled rods, so that it weighs
the material down evenly without
making a loose hem when withdrawn.
Leave the window open first at the
top and then at the bottom, or vice
versa. If the sun comes in and the
breeze blows through the material a
curtain dries rapidly and evenly.
Curtains with lace edges can be
dried in either of the first ways easily
If the lace is held at top and bottom
in the window-drying method, and the
edges are gently pulled out to their
original shape and dry thus, the result
will be satisfactory.
Ruffled Curtains.
Curtains with ruffied edges can have
the ruffies ironed with a fiuting iron
and then the curtain itself can be dried
in any of the ways described. The Sec
ond one is too much trouble, as it tires
ther back. The last method is recon-.
mended as well as the first If ruff1ed
curtains are dried entirely with a fiat
iron great care must be used to keep
edges of curtains themselves as
straight and as even as possible, for
the edge not ruffled will not be straight
otherwise,
AIHCCNR
Narrow ruff1es, unless dried with a.
1uting iron, should be pinched along
the edges TO simulate fluting, or they
can be ironed over the tip of the iron
which stands upright. If we'll done
the ruffie will frill. Wide ruffles can
be drawn over the first and second
