come the focus Of attention.
It's time to put up fresh, new
curtains-the gay, simple kind
that are so quickly and easily
made.
An inexpensive material
that's lightweight will be just
the thing. Say cotton voile,
cheesecloth, organdie, Argen-
tine cloth, or any open mate
rial.
You'll want them French
pleated-for a smart, tailored
look-as shown in our sketch.
First, to get the length of your
curtains, measure from top to
bottom of window trim. Add
8 inches for a heading, 8 inches
for a hem, and something for
shrinkage. Next, stitch side
hems-11a inches wide. Then
turn down 4 inches at the
top-twice, for a heading Of
triple thickness, as in diagram
A. Stitch down this heading.

for stiffening.
To make four French pleats,
measure in ) inches from each
side and place a pin. which will
mark the center of each of the
two outside French pleats. Di-
vide the material between the
two pins in three equal parts so
that you have on each curtain
four pins with equal spaces be-
tween. At each pin make a two
inch pleat as in diagram B.
Stitch each pleat the depth OF
the heading. Next, divide each
pleat into thirds, to look like

only during Lent, but especially
during the summer season when
crab salads and shrimp cocktails
are suitable for so many occa'
sions. Lobster meat Is naturally
the most expensive, and the
meat of the large Japanese sea
crab resembles it.
Luxury Tidbits
Japanese crab meat is white
with pinkish tinges, and the
most of the pack. comes from
the legs or body, cut as large as
possible to fit the can. Meat
from the claws is the most deli
cate, and the more meat from
the claws, the more expensive
the pack. The meat Of the do
mestic crab is gray and flaky
and superior in flavor, but its
small bulk and difficulty of
using it make it less preferable
for culinary uses.
Anchovies and caviar are the
two luxury tidbits in the fish
line. The former are very
small fish, also of the herring
family, growing to about 6
inches in size. They are split
and put up in brine or olive
oil as appetizers and for use in
fancy spreads for sandwiches
Cavair is the roe or eggs OF
the sturgeon, put up highly
salted, as a delicacy, and is
expensive because of the great
care required to cure and pack
it.
Canned clans and oysters
also have invaded the pantry,
and make possible to the in
land dweller many of the
delicious dishes which they
have long brought to the shore
or seacoast inhabitant. The
Razor clam is always packed
in a minced form, suitable for
fritters, etc.
Clam juice or nectar" as "
is sometimes called, is the
natural juice of the clam ex-
tracted by heat while the clans
are being canned. This is
used in the preparation of clam
bouillon and also for giving
greater strength to clam
chowder.

Old WiUes' Tales

Therefore my first bit Of Ad-
vice to mothers with "teething
troubles ahead of them is
something I have said before in
this series and probably shall
say again-namely:
"Don't believe all you hear
from well-meaning but irrespOn-
sible advisers-and don't act on
their advice without consulting
your doctor"
The whole subject Of teething
is so important that I shall de-
vote more than one article to it.
What many women do not real
ize is that the proper time to
begin attacking this problem is
before the baby is born.
If you want your baby to
have good teeth and to cut
them as painlessly as possible,
take care Of your own teeth and
your own diet during the nine
months preceding your little
ones birth.

Sister-in-law to get together with

Is it necessary to have all

luncheon of this kind, in honor

it may include the mother and

Perfume
Is Art
BY JULIET SHELBY

Born in San Sebastian,
Northern Spain, vivacious
Conchita Montenegro radi-
ates all the lovely mystery
and charm of her nation. AL
though she is fond of flowers,
she will not wear them. But
she has them around her,
grouped beautifully in lovely
vases.
"I adore flowers with rich
fragrances," she said, ''but I re-
fuse to wear the lovely things.
For fragrance on my person I
rely on perfumes"
And, like so many foreign
women, she makes an art Of per-
fuming. She has perfumes for
her furs, for her chiffon summer
frocks, for her tweeds, for her
negligees-if she cannot find
just the blend she desires, she
mixes one!
Perfume makes a fascinating
topic Of conversation, and we
discussed, for hours, the ex-
Quisite blends that are on the
market here and abroad. Miss
Montenegro Is directed by her
own preferences in the choice Of
perfume. rather than the cur
rent vogue for this or that
blend. And that Is as 1t should
be.
No woman should wear a per.
fume that does not become her
type, personality and mood Of
the moment.
Take, for instance, one per.
fume which Conchita Montene.
gro likes immensely. It is a beau
tlful fragrance, but popularly
suggested for the blonde woman.
And, as you know, lovely Con-
chita is the direct antithesis Of
d blonde.
Her rich, dark skin and
sparkling black eyes, richly
colored lips and cheeks make
you feel she would choose
rich oriental blend most of
the time. But this lovely spicy
fragrance of the blonde suits
her admirably, so she wears it
very often with her street cos
tunes or tailored dinner clothes.
So, you see, it isn't whether
the perfume is light or heavy,
spicy or sweet, that makes it
suitable for blonde, brunette or
redhead-it'S whether it COM
plements you, makes you feel
perfumed to perfection, makes
you pleased with yourself.
If you are blonde or brunette,
sniff this favored blend of
Conchita Montenegro and see
if you like it. Whether or
, not you can wear it to advan.
tage is the ultimate test.
