The off-balance effect that
such window placement gives in
side the room can be corrected
by using an extended curtain rod
which will permit hanging cur
tains or Grapes over part Of the
wall as well as over the window.
Extending the rod a few inches
to several feet over the wall viii
tend to move" the window in
the direction of the extension.
This type OF window treatment
does not limit you entirely to
tailored curtains or draw Grapes.
If you wish to use ruined or
draped curtains, you can tie back
only the half which is over the
actual window and let the panel
which extends over the wall hang
straight.
The same treatment also can
be used to make two windows of
different width appear the same.
Extending curtain rods on both
sides of a too-small window will
make it appear wider and give
better balance to your room, If
this is needed.

READ THE LEASE-Renters
inevitably develop a certain in
iterest in leases.
Whenever q move into new
apartment is considered. the first
act should be to examine the
lease. In it are the basic rules
for living in any specific apart
Iment.
In general, leases follow much
the same pattern of dos and
Idon'ts designed to protect the
fellow apartment dweller and the
apartment property from dis
Iturbance. But there are impor-
|tant minor variations. For ex-
ample:
Some apartments offer re-
painting after one years occu-
Ipancy: some permit tenants to
choose their own colors or to
paint for themselves if they use
approved materials. Others do
not.
Check carefully on the regu-
lations concerning hanging OBJ
jects on the walls. In some cases
the careful use of nails or screens
may be permitted: in other cases,
any hole in the plaster may be
charged against you.
When you rent your next
apartment, read the lease care
fully and learn the dos and
don'ts you will be expected to
follow. 1t may save you some
minor ,disappointments and make
your apartment living more
pleasant.
WINDOWS ASKEW-Do you

window is crowded over toward

prising number of interesting
modern crochet items which are
easy to make.
Among the easiest and most
useful items you can crochet are
pot holders and hot dish mats.
Then you can try your hand at
edgings for linens and place
mats, or for the really ambitious
there are beautiful tablecloth
and bedspread designs.
Most of these are especially
adapted to picking up for short
periods of time because they are
made In a series of blocks or
rounds, any one of which can be
completed in a fairly short time.
In fact, there is no limit to
the useful things you can
crochet, from rugs to hats and
purses. And the only equip
ment you need. in addition to
