One of the most important items
in the planning of overdraperies is the
treatment Of the top portion. That is
to say. whether Valances, poles and
rings or cornices should be used, and.
as is the case with the selection Of
most details, the type Of your room
must determine this treatment.
If YOUR home is of the simple type
YOU will find that French heading OF
box -pleated valances would be at
tractive. and for the semi-formal type
of home poles and rings painted to
harmonic with the draperics are
smart. But if your room has dignity
there Is nothing which would work
into the scheme as beautifully as a
carved cornice.
One may have q delicate detail that
does much TO lend character 10 the
entire window treatment. The top por-
ton of the corniCe is straight, fiat
board finished with a simple moldins
and from the lower edge is attached a
band of carved wood The hoidbackS
are carved and finished to match the
cornice, all being i'll walnut, with u
touch Of gold
A velvet. silk, satin or brocaded ma
terial would be appropriate for dra-
peries with this cornice, but If you wish
a simple eornice without carving. then
chintz might be used. the cornice be-
ing painted to match the predominatlng
shade in the design.

Children's Nerves and Digestion.

doctors aScribed all digestive trouble:
in children to definite physical dis.
turbances and faulty chemistry of the
digestive processes. II was known thai
some infants had a poor tolerance fol

and similar conditions prevailed in
early childhood.
All this still remains true. Most diff
fcultieS in children are in The way OF
faulty assimilation; they are poorly
nouriShed by what they eat, and they
don't eat well. The problem is TO find
proper food which they can aSsimiiate.
But when all these majority causes are
ruled out. there remain fair number
in which the nervous state is the major
factor in digestive trouble.
DR.. Mohr reports that in Sc cases OF
such trouble in children from / to II
