SPRINCTIME

In the almanac of the birds it may
be said that:
The redstart

Recent arrivals in Washington week

thrush (who have as yet scarcely be-
gun to sing), the whippoorwill, also
voiceless as yet; the spotted sandpiper

tie merry singers who at once wind up
their music boxes and make the Spring
airs laugh and tinkle with their agree
abe music They are the towhee. or
chewink, the house wren and the red
start.
OF the three, the redstart is the
least known to most of us, because he
doesn't frequent the caves, like the
wren, while even the chewink seems to
delight in the neighborhood of my house,
continually circling near it and watch

he tries to keep well out of sight in
underbrush.
The redstart likes the forest, and it
is only early in the morning that see
him in the young saplings near my
house Many people don't consider him
beautiful, but I do. His black head
and throat, his orange flanks, the soft
buff OF his breast. are striking colors.
His motions. while jumping from one

into noisy quarrels with his rivals these
days.
The song of the redstart has never
found its way into the odes of the
poets, so far as 1 know, but it is q
most agreeable little chatter, and be-
trays that the redstart belongs with the
family of the wood warblers, instead of
with the f1ycatchers, as Audubon and
other early American ornithologists
supposed from the perching and feed

Your Home and You
BY BETSY CALLIsTER.

One of our readers writes to ask us
how to clean the cotton draperies for
her Summer cottage They were taken
down and put away last Autumn with
out cleaning.
That's unfortunate. For now they
have the wrinkles of Winter combined
with the dirt of last Summer. Dra-
peries should always be cleaned before
they are put away. But it's too late to
do any good talking about that, isn't It?
The hing Is what to do to remedy the
wrinkles and dirt.
No matter what they are, If they are
washed they will probably shrink. Yet
washing Is the only satisfactory way to
clean cotton draperies. SO the thing
to do Is Just to make up your mind
that they will shrink. II 1t Is possible
to let down the hens, that may make
is a deep hem, TOP or bottom. rip 1t out
before washing Don't turn it up again
until after washing. because you won't
know how much shrinkage will occur.
If there is not deeD hem. perhaps
YOU can face the curtains. You can If
they are chintz. with plain -colored
sateen to match some color in the de-
sign.
Another way to let curtains down
is to fasten them at the top to q
valance that runs across the whole
Misunderstanding the curtains. of
course, only at the sides. This valance
may be of q contrasting color. II your
curtains are of net. the valance may
be OF net In another color or Of
cretonne.
To wash the curtains. soak them in
lukewarm water and soap in some form
for couple Of hours. Then wash them
gently but thoroughly in warm, soapy
water, and then rinse them in warm,
then In cold water Dry them quickly.
If there is any tendency for colors to
run, put salt in the cold rinsing water.
Some people have better luck with
cretonne If they don't let 1t dry but
iron it when IL Is half dry.
Faded curtains can be dyed. Net
takes on lovely colors when dipped in
dye, and as colored net curtains are
much used nowadays this is very
good plan.

from 2 to 4 feet in diameter, this tree,
with its deeply furrowed dark brown,
scaly bark, is easily identified. Its
branches are gray and its twigs reddish.
In June and July the perfect yellow
ish-white flowers appear. They are
clustered on the end of the flower stalk
and borne on a narrow leaflike blade.
Their fragrance attracts thousands of
honey-sippers, and 1t has been hoped
that this tree would be planted for bee
pasture.
The leaves are alternate along the
twig, from 6 to 8 inches long and 3 to
inches wire. They are heart-shaped
and unusually veined Their under side
is most attractive. showing the veining
and pale lining The family character
istic is that. when folding the edges Of
the leaf at the midrib, they do not
match and the veins are not the same
on both sides.
The lindens, for there are different
species, are partial to rich. moist. wood
soil and their favorite home site ex-
tends from New Brunswick to Dakota,
south to Virginia and the mountains Of
Alabama. and west to Texas.
AS a shade and ornamental tree It
should be planted. Its roots reach deep
into the earth and draw the food supply
needed. Its fruit is borne in a cluster
of woody green balls, each about the
size of pea and sheltering wee seed.
The winged seeds are carried from the
mother tree to far places by the wind
and here the seedlings take root and
grow slowly. The breeze breaks many
twigs and scatters them afar.
Man has been the linden's worse
enemy. He has cut it down to build
houses, carriage bodies. chair seats,
bureaus. paper pulp, wood carving,
cooperage and fuel. The twigs make ex-
cellent charcoal. The bark is made into

Patchwork and Mosaic Squares

when the youngster has completed three
squares that are neatly put together
with the colored papers fitting together
without spaces between them. When

however small the mother can snow
how tiny slivers can be pasted in them
to conceAs the foundation. At first
several squares may be made before one
is worth rewarding, but little folk should
judged leniently.
From this initial !ze offer, the next
step is to give the child reward for
the artistic effect of color combinations,
followed later on by prize for the IN
PRODUCTION of pattern. The mother
should remember in judging OF pattern
that many of the most effective patch
work quilts consist of squares that are
extremely simple in design, but which
assembled are as effective as II in
tricate
1t is we'll to mark the patchwork
squares with red stars or some gay
colored sticker when those are found
which are good. In this way each time
this self-competitive game Is played the
child has a chance to receive some dis
tinct recognition of his or her painStak-
ing effort. When the child has done
enough of this patchwork or mosaic
work, let him have an old cigar box TO
cover with his cuttings Of colored
papers. This box should be vanished
after covered with the well pasted or
blued-on scraps of paper. Then 1t Is
ready as q surprise for Daddy.

paper, or cardboard, which Is better
still Each bit of paper is pasted onto
the foundation first marked off into
one or more large squares measuring
10 or IL inches each side.
Fancy lining to envelopes Is just the
thing for this patchwork. Colored paper
of any kind can be used, although It's
-ue paper is so thin that the paste may
show through, and SO is not so good as
heavier kinds. Old magazine covers
and any colored pictures can be cut
regardless of the designs on them. The
pictorial pages can be considered as
cretonnes, and chint2es, which when
used for textile patchwork are cut
without regard to pattern. Some black
and sepia printed pages will supply dull
colors to accent the bright ones.
Let the children carry out their own
ideas, They may make attractive mosaic
squares with no design attempted by
the blending of the colors Some chill
dren will attempt to duplicate genuine
patchwork patterns, especially If they
have watched their mother or grand
mother making these quaint quilts. The
ingenious child will evolve original de-
signs, and may find an outlet for latent
artistic ability.
A mother does welel to watch this
work. A good way to do this without
seeming in any way to interfere with
the child's original ideas is to offer a
little prize which may well be called an
incentive prize. This may be given

When Indians Smoked.

TT you went to q church and found
the people smoking, feel sure that
you would think It strange.
L American Indians used to do
something OF that very kindl They
smoked in honor Of their religion.
In the Hopi tribe, the high chief
walked in front Of the images Of the
gods. Then another chief lighted q
pipe and handed 1t to him. The high
chief smoked and blew the smoke over
the altar. This was incense to the
gods.
Among other tribes the pipe was
smoked by all the warriors as part of
prayer for victory over enemies.
Smoking also was believed to be a
method Of stopping storms and bring
ing success in hunting.
Pima Indians Of Arizona cut reeds
into pieces about inches long The
pith was pushed out and tobacco was
placed in the hollow. Before q war
party left to fight the Apacf1es, each
man smoked q tube of tobacco.
After the smoking was finished. the
tubes were tossed into q cave held
sacred to the war god.
