Crisp, Bright Curtains Bring
Real Cheer Into the Kitchen

or less question which you Will
have to decide for yourself. as they
must fit your special conditions;
but suggestions about the materials
to be used are In order.
Of course the material must be
easily laundered. II it is colored
the colors must be fast. White ma
terials suited for this purpose are a
good grade of cheese cloth. volle,
organdie, marquisette, unbleached
muslin, and dimity.
May Use Ruffied Edge
These may be made up with ruff
fed edges or plain hens, or they
may have colors set on in the shape
of bindings, ruffles or braids. Or,
the color may be supplied with the
tie backs, if these are used.
CoIored materials which lend
themselves are calicos, prints of
various fabrics, and ginghams-par-
ticularly checked ginghams. Chintz
and cretonne also may be used,
though these are likely to be bit
heavy for the purpose.
One attractive use for chintzes
and cretonnes is to make window
blinds of them, then curtain the
window in a draped back curtain Of
some sheer white material.
Checked Gingham Good
For something more vigorous and
colorful, use unbleached muslin
bound in a solid color to match your
kitchen decorations, or in a checked
gingham. Colored braids are very
effective on the lighter weight white
materials suggested. as are colored
ruff1ingS.
The prints Of which there is such
a galaxy from which to select are
especially fresh and bright. Most
of them are soft fabrics which shirr
and drape nicely. They launder
well, too, which is another point in
their favor.
Plain hens or a braid in some
matching color gives them just the
finish they need as they are highly
decoratice in themselves.

Save Time

More time! More time
must find more time some
place, so l can do all the things
that are demanding to be
done!"
Is that your daily plea? Ii
it is. you will be interested in
these time saving suggestions
which will appear on our home
pages from day TO day.

saved from that three-times-a-
day job of washing dishes, i

saucers, dessert dishes, salad
dishes. and similar pieces can
oe placed in the wire rack after
they are washed, sca.ded with

It is amazing the difference crisp
bright curtains can make in a dull
kitchen. Even if your kitchen is
we'll lighted, you will find that at
tractive curtains will change it from
workroom to a workshop-and
shop" is so much more 2llurlng
than a room" don't you think?
Whether the curtains are to hang
straight or tie back, depends, OF
course on the windows you are cur
tanning, just as the weight of the
material you select depends upon
the exposure-whether it is sunny,
south kitchen or one on the other
side of the house-and number OF
windows.
The colors used. too, will carry out
the general color scheme Of your
kitchen. All these factors are more

Cleaning Aids

Wipe porcelain tubs and sinks
with kerosene. This cuts the grease
and reduces the amount of scour-
ing ordinarily necessary.
Rub the arms and backs Of chairs
once a month with some good COM
mercal cleaning fluid. This not
only keeps them clean, but pre-
vents worn, shiny appearance.
When the seats of cane chairs
sag, sponge them top and bottom
with hot vinegar water, and place
in the sun to dry. The drying will
cause Shrinkage.
Paint the lower step Of your base
ment white. 1t can thus be easily
seen in the dark.
Starch is greatly improved by the
addition of a little kerosene and a
small amount of lard. The kero~
sene prevents starch from sticking
to the irons and the lard gives the
clothes a better gloss.

Sandwiches
Can Be Made
Ornamental

A sandwich need not be Just a
decorative and delicious as the hos
tess is ingenious. Here are few
suggestions for the clever hostess:
Moisten soft cream cheese and
mix chopped dates. Spread on thin
slices of bread, and roll up like
jelly roll tying with dainty ribbon
to hold together.
Any filling may be used for these
rolled sandwiches, of course. If de-
sired. quite a good size roll may be
made by slicing the bread the long
way of the loaf, then Slicing rounds
of sandwich from it as one would
slice jelly roll.
Open-face sandwiches are especi-
ally attractive. Cut thin slices of

sa1ter all that's just what you want
a camellia to be.
I know a woman who always re-
minds me of a camellia.
She is tall and slender and dark
and her skin is as white as snow
and as clear as wax.
The first time that I saw her
she was dressed in rose pink tulle
and if she didn't look exactly like
a camellia.
She is lovely at a party, she is
beautiful at dinner, in some gorge
Gus robe brought from who knows
where, to enhance her cold beauty.
And when she sits in her box at
the opera every opera glass in the
house is fixed on her.
She is, they tell me, a fine wom-
an-honest-hearted, just-minded.
I know a man who wants to marry
the camellia woman.
He's crazy about her.
He wants to bring her into his
life and set her in his heart-like
a bejeWeled saint in a niche.
I do hope the camellia woman
will have sense enough to say no to
the man I know.
He is generous, impulsive, quick
witted, quick-tempered and warm
hearted.
I'm afraid the cold beauty of the
camellia would not comfort him
much in the diSappointment-and
establishment of living.
Now, there's a nice rosy, spicy
little carnation-all laughter ano
quick tears, all love and anger and
forgiveness, and warm closer COM
panionship-I do hope he will
choose the carnation girl after all.
and let the camellia bloom on for
the public admiration of such as
fancy her cold loneliness.
The carnation pink for me, young
man-and for you too, If you have
a grain of sense.
