De La Salle and Momence Live Again v ■' In the season of renewing fall draperies for winter use not all purchase of n‘ew goods. KThe drap eries are sound, but faded, the prob lem Is not too difiloult. Change can be effected bj use of the dye pot, even If not In the hands of an ex pert. Or a cheap fabric In white can be bought and colored To dye fabrics an even shade is not a matter to be dismissed lightly, If the goods are to bear the close scrutiny which Is accorded to dress materials.^ But curtains, partly be cause they Jmz& In folds, and partly because the light behind them helps, to distribute the color, can be suc- cessfnl to a greater degree in ama teur hands. .Soap dyes do- not demand the washing „of the. material beforehand, but it is not a bad rule to follow, with all dyes, that material dyes bet ter when clean, or at least relieved of Its greatest burden of dust. A plunger, such as Is used in washing blankets, Is recommended. A wood en spoon or stick for stirring the goods in the dye pot Is needed. Excellent Instructions are to be found on the packages of dyes, but there are others, more personal which come only from the experienced. Wear an old dress, and a pair of stockings that can’t be harmed. Dye Is sure to splash on them. If your shoes are good, wear rubbers, as they, too, will get marked In trans- feiring the newly dyed fabric from pot to line, or wash tub to pot Dip and dry a piece of the fabric before dipping the article. Have the right kind of dye for your goods. Curtains, If somewhat streaked, are not beyond use, but if they come out actually different shades their beauty Is doubtful. To avoid this mishap get this feature of dyeing clearly In mind. A solution becomes weaker with every article dyed In It. Nat urally the goods takes up the dye, and any moisture In goods diminishes the strength of the dye. Make a larger quantity of dye than is to be used on the first pair or first two pair of curtains. Measure It, so many cups to the gallon, and throw away the weakened dye solution after the first lot Is dipped. Mix the next quantity In the same proportion and use the same number of cur tains. Be sure to give the dyed curtains clear line space. Have nothing near them they can mark. Dry them opened up, not folded over the line. —Iron-while damp. - This process es called “refinlshlng.” One woman known to the writer retillps her liv ing room draperies a dark rich brown every year.

I’ve often seen him In the South. There he is now, on the tip-top of that tree over yonder." Peter and Johnny Chuck looked eagerly.

These were enough to make them forget that otherwise he was like Mocker. While they were looking at him he flew down Into the grass and picked up a grass hopper. Then for some distance he flew with a steady, even flight only a little above the ground, suddenly shooting up and returning to the perch where they had first seen him. There he ate the grasshopper and resumed bis watch for something else to catch. “He certainly has wonderful eyes,” said Skimmer admiringly. “He must have seen that grasshopper way over there In the grasses before he started after It, for he flew straight down. He doesn’t waste time and energy banting aimlessly. He sits on a high perch and watches until he sees something be wants. Many times I’ve seen him sit ting on top of a telegraph pole. I understand that Bully the English Sparrow has become terribly nervous since the arrival of Butcher. He Is particularly fond of English sparrows.
