She was so enthusiastic about the book, SEWING, for the Home Decorator, offered with these articles that she wrote a nice letter of appreciation and also described this clever idea of her own for making her kitchen gay. All of us know how often kitchen curtains must be laundered. Yet, o ~\ -©-e wo o o THUMB TACK! CURTAil ROD HEMMED^ ENOS AND BRASS RINGS we like interesting windows in this room as well as any other. Well, here is the answer with the mini mum of work. The curtains themselves are as easy to wash and iron as a dish towel—llo frills, just hems. But don’t make them too skimpy. A full width of 35-inch-wide material is not too wide. Cut away 1 the sel vage at the front edge and hem it with a 1-inch hem. Use a 2- inch hem at the bottom. This gives the curtains body so they will have smart crisp lines. The cas ing at the top should be just wide enough for the curtain rod. And don’t forget to allow for shrink age if the material is not pre shrunken. If figured material is used, choose colors that will harmonize with the shelf edging along the top of the window and the tie- backs as shown in the sketch. The thumb tacks used for the shelf edging may also add color Inter ests NOTE: Every Homemaker should have a copy of Mrs. Spears’ book, SEWING, for the Home Dec orator. Forty-eight pages of di rections for making slip-covers and curtains; dressing tables; lampshades and many other use ful articles for the home. Price 25 cents postpaid (coin preferned). Ask for Book 1, and address Mrs. Spears, 210 S. Desplaines St., Chi cago, 111. w On the Highway —v— Some of the most important ruleg'for safe driving: " Never drive fast over a road you don’t know like a book. Learn what you can expect of your car. Always expect the worst. If there’s a tree beside the road ahead, figure a car may come from behind it. If there’s a house near by, a child may ran aci'h'ss the road there. If there’s a parked car, count on its cat ting i suddenly onto jthe pave ment. • v. ■ /Signal your intentions to all persons who may be affected by your acts.
