Climate determines the type Of
house you must have, money
and position generally deter
mine the size, and the furnish
ings are determined by all those
factors.
It is easy to see then why
early English furniture was
heavy and crude, compared to
later styles. The people were
rough-andready, full of vigor
and given to outdoor activities.
Then came the time of Queen
Anne, when tea drinking came
in, and a generally more lei.
surely mode of living followed.
Furniture was lighter, more
graceful, more varied.
In America and in other coun-
tries the history has been pretty
much the same, with the furni-
ture designed to suit the needs
of the people. And so today
we have en- entirely new type
again designed to suit the
life we lead.
There are many, many smart,
intelligent people who like con-
temporary furniture, even in its
most extreme versions. There
are others who simply will have
none of it, even when modified,
such as the classic modern.
After all, it's a mode of liv-
ing. Life is very varied now,
with many people leading quiet
lives, far from the general whirl.
Others, busy as can be, used to
COMPRISING a great deal of rest
in short time, like the extreme
comfort of modern chairs and
sofas, the restful lines Of the
simple cabinets and tables.
AS to whether or not the con-
temporary will ever rank with
the masters of the eighteenth
century, cannot say. I believe,
however, that though it will
never replace the classic. it will
eventually take place with it, as
a period which was suited to its
time, and which deserved a GER
tain popularity. Furthermore, I
do not believe we have seen the
best of the modern.

leur," ana by tailored SulIS,
when they are referred to in
fashion writing. True, the man.
nish tailored suit is seldom
worn, but suits of tweed with
Swagger coats, or wooden suits
in simple styles, even with fur,
are often hand tailored, or man
tailored, and so are called
tailored suits.
Terms Explained
The word "tailleur" should
really be applied to a mannish
suit, I believe, but it has been
applied to any suit that was
man tailored for a long time.
And so this year we can use it
for a simple cloth suit, no mat
ter what the lines, if it is well
tailored by hand, or given the
same effect.
But to get back to the original
point, tWeeds and tailored wool
ems are just as smart in town,
in their proper places, as they
are in the country. We've come
to like trim look, and woolens
look smarter than silks for bust
ness, for shopping and similar
puSuitS.
Accessories Varied
The swagger tweed suit, orr
ginally designed for sports and
country wear, has come into
town, too, and you'll find it
used a great deal for general
day wear. Accessories are often
changed, making it more dressed
up looking.
In the country you may wear
brogues or golf shoes with your
tweeds, and a sweater or jersey
blouse. The simplest felt hat
and pigskin gloves complete
your costume.
In town a silk or less severe
wooden blouse or sweater may
be worn, with shoes with heels.
though still sportslike, gloves
hand-sewen of pigskin or leather,
or even tailored gloves of fabric.
and hat that is simple, but not
necessarily as plain as your
country hat, make the costume
a little less spectator sports"
type.

FROM LONDON

THERE IS a new collar
style that is having quite a
play in London. The open
ing makes a semicircular
appearance, the points fall
away at a sharp angle and
provide more than ample
space for the tie knot.

Curtains
Right Way

Net curtains have a way Of
twisting out of shape and losing
their store finish unless special
care is taken in laundering. If
the curtains are starched after
the last rinsing, the finish will
be restored.
To make curtain starch:
l tablespoon starch
/ quart water
tablespoon gum arabic
2 cups water
Boil starch and add water to-
gether thoroughly, then add the
gum arabic, which has been dis
solved in the water. Gum ara
bic prevents the iron from stick
ing.
There are three ways to
stretch net curtains. The first
on stretchers-is the easiest
method, but not the safest if the
fabric is fragile.
The second method is to pin
q sheet to the same size as the
curtains before it is washed.
Then when you are ready to
iron The damp curtain, gently
stretch and pin it to the mea-
sure of the folded sheet. This is
a fairly new but very practical
method.
A third way is to hang the
curtain straight on its rod, then
run another rod through the
bottom hem. Drying in this
fashion gives the curtain stiff
ness. If the curtain wrinkles or
draws together at the sides dur
ing drying, it can be pressed into
shape with a moderately hot
iron.
Synthetic fabrics must not be
twisted or wrung because they
are apt to show crease marks.
After rinsing, let the water drip
out of the curtains. Iron while
damp on the wrong side with a
moderately hot iron. To add
luster 20 the plain weaves a final
iron polishing can be given
to the right side.
Glazed chintz curtains can
easily be kept clean by wiping
them with a damp cloth. To
restore the finish to the chintz
after it has been washed, dip the
curtains in the starch mixture
above, and iron while very damp
on Ehe right side.

DEADLY INSECTS

Black Widow Spider and Scorpion Have Been
 at It 40 Hours

Long Beach, Cal. Aug 24-(UP) A desperate battle between two deadly insects--A scorpion and a black widow spider--entered its 10th hour at q. m. Ga. m. e. d. t.) today. Scores of onlookers layed heavy coin that the spider would emerge victorious. The killers fought patiently. Each waited a chance to bounce upon the other andend the fight with one quick thrust. Although the spider had given away almost three times its size and weight. she had spun a web around one of the scorpion's pinchers and was gradually en- meshing it's lethal weapon-the stinger, in the thin thread.
 The battle took place in a musty corner of public garage and at- tracted hundreds. Betting odds were five to one on the spider, with few takers. Spinning its wed care- fully the spider had succeeded in lifting the scorpion three inches off the floor. It approached the scorpion in unnumerable times only to be driven back by furious lashes of the deadly stinger. Both insects are capable of dealing serious in- jury or death to humans.
