Summer comes in your window
as soon as you take the winter
draperies down. But since no one
admires the barnlike appearance
Of a room with sharp edges of
q window sash framing the view,
II makes the light softer and the
room more restful to have some
soft drapery outlining the win
dow openings.
The simple net curtain with
out overdrapery or the sheer
ruffied tieback type is an easy
solution to the problem as long
as 1t goes we'll with the interior
plan Of your house, But If you
wish to keep a "well-dressed' look
with Just a slight touch Of for
rnality. you might plan some
thing bit out of the ordinary.
This you may do yourself with
out too much effort and with
Che most astonishing results.
Keep the cool. summery effect
IN whatever you do. Use sheerest
materials with tie-backs and
window accessories that pick up"
the room color scheme wherever
possible. White is the most sat-
isfactory of all. The warm tones
of pink. peach and yellow that
normally cast such a lovely light
have a tendency to be stuffy and
oppressive in hot weather. Also,
pale green, soft blues and mauves
are depressing and change COM
plexions and colors to such an
extent that the whole house suf-
fers. OF course. many of these
can be handled very cleverly
when the whole interior of the
house is changed with slip covers
and accessories to blend into
summer. but for the average
home where a busy life must so
on In a pleasant atmosphere,
white and off-white shades are
best.
A pair of sheer curtains may
be hung at either side of large
window, and should touch the
floor and be generously fun. An
other pair might have their top
hens gathered into rosette and
tackled to the exact center of the
top window frame. Then drape
the curtains in deep swag from
the center to the end of the top
frame where they slip through
large rings or glass tie-bscks 10
fall in a "jabot" over the side
curtains. Glass or plastic tie
backs in color or metal ones in
floral or ivy patterns also may
be used, and huge tassels of cot
ton fringe in strong shade to
match the color scheme often are
very effective.
II you have many windows and
wish to do something striking,
try unbleached cSeesecloth. This
may be bought for about cents
a yard if purchased in the 100
yard bolts. Then you can afford
to use the material with lavish
hand, planning at least two
widths for each window length.
The epitome of elegance is this
material edged with ball fringe in
gay color and tied back with huge
cotton tssselS. The cheesecloth
will automatically go into ac-
cordian pleats after it hangs for
few days and the deep, graceful
folds are worthy of Regency
drawing room when properly
draped.
Another inexpensive trick is the
use of tarletan mosquito netting
to youl, which comes in the most
gorgeous colors. You may remem-

corrugated road to grin at her.
"It turns up every little red curl
on your head to match that saucy
nose you wear"
Nancy made an impudent face
at him. Since he had first come to
Randall in September, she had
been his girl.
The car was beginning to climb
now. Some good-sized rocks, loos-
ened by the rain. had rolled down
onto the road. Like a veteran,
Posy felt her way around one OBJ
stacie after another and chugged
stubbornly on and up.
Then it happened. So slowly
and quietly that Nancy didn't
feel the slightest inclination to cry
out; only an interested excite
ment as a shoulder of the narrow
road gave away and, with crunch
of glass, Posy rolled gently over
on her side - as if very old and
tired - and settled comfortably
against convenient pine.
Nancy's first impulse was to
laugh; then she turned and saw
Stan. Mud plastered his dark hair
down the side of his face, making
his amiable features comically
fierce. He was gingerly collecting
himself.
"Stan," cried Nancy, "are you
hurt?'
The smile he tossed her was
forced and pale.
Don't move, Stan. You are
hurt!' Gently she pushed him back
onto the soggy earth.
What in-?" he began. do
you think I'm going to settle down
in this mud and spend the night?"
Nancy didn't answer. She was

breath, poisoning, fracture -"

When in doubt, treat as for

this isn't luck! Right down my

newspaper from the back seat.

A shade hurt, Nancy bravely ig-
nored the unappreciative atti-
tude of her patient. Slipping slim
fingers into his hip pocket, she
produced a clean handkerchief to
be used as bandage. Carefully
placing the folded paper under the

true, but such a hunt makes the
