THE NEWBERRY SUN. NEWBERRY. S. C. WOMAN'S WORLD Attain Well-Furnished Look By Proper Curtains, Draperies By Ertta Haley D OES the sunlight need softening in your rooms? Does a particu larly lovely scene outside require a proper frame? Or, would-you rather close out an ugly view? All this and more can be accom plished in any home with properly selected and styled curtains and draperies. The style of the furni ture can be accented with carefully selected style and material, and rooms can take their cue for fur nishing from draperies or curtains. There’s great freedom of choice in the style to select as well as in lengths and widths, but there are certain rules to observe for propriety. For example, if sheer curtains are your choice, you may have them sill or floor length, but not in-between floor and window. If they’re to be used with draperies, sheer curtains should be of the same length as the drapes. When sheer curtains are to be hung straight, you’ll want them full and luxurious looking, no matter how inexpensive the material. Make the curtains two and one-half or three times the window width. Let drapes and curtains . . . Glass or sheer curtains always need a heading so they will look properly finished. Give them shir ring. pleating or gathering, which ever you like for the room type. Here are Facts About Tiebacks Should sheer curtains be tied back or hung back? This depends upon the style of the room. If Colo nial, Early American, formal Vic torian, or Eighteenth Century Eng lish, sheer curtains may be tied back to be most effective. If the room is done in Modern, let the curtains hang straight. The best height for the tieback is right below center of the window. If the curtains are tied back above the center, the window will look add the decorative note. long and narrow. Tied too far be low center they make the window look too wide. With small-paneled windows, the tieback should be horizontal with one of the bars of the panel, so the panels are not cut down in size. Large ruffled tiebacks need to have a slit cut behind the heading of the ruffling so they can be tied properly without bunching the ruffling. Traditionally tiebacks are made of the same material as the cur tain but this is not a hard and fast rule if you want to try for different effects. If, for example, you are using a chintz with sheer material, the tiebacks can be made of the chintz, or at least the heading or ruffle teamed with sheer materiaL How to Use Curtains Without Draperies When you want a light, airy feel ing in a room, plan to use sheer curtains without the side drapes. This may be a room that is quite dark, and you want to bring in as much light as possible. Then again, if you have a room with an abundance of the rich ma terials, you may want the relief from such material that sheer cur tains can give. Many modern rooms, full of rich color and tex tured effects, are good, too, with plain glass curtains, made full and hung in a straight, tailored effect. Those who are worried about giving their rooms the finished look with curtains without the benefit of draperies, have several solu tions: painted of fabric-covered cornices, gathered valances of the same material as the curtain or a contrasting material used else where in the room, and brackets at the side of the window. For glass curtains, use sheer materials that reflect tones of white, peach, yellow or pink. Net and scrim are always appropriate, but others to use include ninon, batiste, dimity, organdy, marquis ette, sheer percale, theatrical gauze or coarse net More expensive, but very effec tive are the nylons, nylon laces.

Shockproof Homes Lesson for July 15, 1951 E VERYBODY who begins a home wants it to last. Nobody really wants a temporary, makeshift home. There have been people who thought they wanted “trial marriage” but such persons did not want a home at all. What is it that holds homes together and makes them last? Life brings many an earthquake shock. How do you get shockproof home s ? Dr. Foreman White silk linen plus brightly colored thin silk satin is fea tured in this smart, casual suit for summer.

When furnish ings are simple and need the accent of color, your best choice is drapery of some kind. Then, too, if you have an attractive setting outside the window, it may better be framed with drapes than' with plain sheer material. Skimpy draperies are worse than no drapery material of any kind, so make certain that the draperies are at least twice as wide as the windows. If the drapes hang on ring or traverse rods and are pulled across the window* at night, they should be at least two and one-half times window width. Draperies may be lined or un lined, depending upon the amount you have to spend, and also the material used. If the room is too sunny and you want to shut out some of the light for decorative or fading purposes, then it’s smart to use the lined draperies. Lightweight cream or sateen ma terial is customarily used for drap ery lining. Colored linings may be used also, but the color of the lining should not confuse the color of the drapery. Hold up to light to check. If the colors do confuse, use* an interlining of cotton flannel. Relate Draperies To Room Styles Draperies are an important part] of the room in which they’re to be used, so it’s a good idea to select them with care. They should be re lated in style and materials to the room type in which they’re used. Most draperies are full-length, that is to the floor of the room, but if you desire an informal casual look, they may be sill-length. Choose an informal material for the draperies that are to be used in informally styled rooms: chintz, cretonne, percale or toile de Jouey. More formal rooms require the | traditional fabrics: rich satin, brocade, damksk or moire. Modem rooms may have in them taffeta, linen, plastic materials, raw silk, novelty cotton, satin, mo hair, chintz and textured fabrics. Quaint patterns in calicor, chintz or voile are good in Early American settings. If budget worries you, then con-1 sider paper or inexpensive plastic materials in appropriate patterns and textures. How to Select Fixtures, Trim With plain draperies, you might consider the decorative value of fringe and other similar trimmings. This may be used at the edge or) the heading. Avoid trimmings of this type on draperies with texture and pattern interest as it will only draw attention away from it. Weights at the corners of draper ies help them to hang straight and even and give them a professional appearance. They are bought by | the yard and may be basted. Most convenient fixture for draperies is the traverse rod, es pecially when you want to close the draperies at night. With a! cornice, simple rods or brass zings are best. Drapes which are to be sta tionary will do nicely with drapery pins, hooked over the rods. If you don’t want a wide stretch of yard, the best solution is a swinging rod for each panel. Homes Without Marriage ET it be said at once that while J most homes begin with mar riage, and the normal home con sists of father, mother and children, there are homes without married couples. The story of Mary, Martha and Lazarus in the New Testament is the story of such a home. Here were three grown persons, two sisters and a brother, and they had a good home; it must have been a good one, or Jesus would not have enjoyed going there as often as he did. There have been other homes which have blessed all under the roof, such as a cottage group in an orphans’ home, or a group of old people living together in one house hold; even a boarding house may, through the consecrated genius of some one person, become a kind of home, beloved and long happily re membered. But when all Is said and done, all these kinds of marriage-less homes, good as they often are, take as their model the “nor mal” home of parents-and-chil- dren. And this normal home begins with marriage. If the marriage is permanent, the home will be; if the marriage drifts and wrecks, so will the home. • • • “Till Death Do Us Part” A S. the present writer has said in “From This Day Forward” (a small book on the meaning of the Christian marriage service): “Only the Christian religion spon sors the highest form of marriage in the world. For Christian mar riage is permanent. The state does not demand so much, social pres sure in most places will not demand it, other religions have lower ways. But the Christian ideal of marriage is nothing less than the union of one man and one woman, for their lifetime. • • • No Endurance 'fest rr^iHRISTIAN marriage is not a ^ mere endurance test. If that is all, it may be genuine, but not suc cessful. Now a genuine cake is not a pie and not a roast; but not all genuine cakes are successful. Marriage and a home at their ■best can be a kind of heaven; but who would want a heaven that might evict its tenants any morning? On a windy day in a certain street of houses hastily built for G.I.’s, any one might see the flimsy shingles flapping in the wind like so many sheets of paper. The young couples who were flim-flammed into buying these houses have al ready regretted it. No one want to live in a house that the wind will blow to pieces. And no one wants • home that will be shaken apart b? the winds of adversity or the earth quake shocks of diappointment. • • • The Heart of the Home *pHE only real basis of a lasting ^ home is love. Everybody knows this much; not every one knows what love is. Love is not mere sen timent, and much more than emo tion. What Paul said long ago has been put by J. B. Phillips into modern words: “This love of which 1 speak Is slow to lose patience— It looks for a way of being con structive. It is not possessive; it is neither anxious to impress nor does it cherish inflated ideas of its own importance. Love has good maimers and does not pur sue selfish advantage. It is not touchy. It does not compile sta tistics of evil or gloat over the wickedness of other people ... Love knows no limit to its en durance, no end to its trust, no fading of its hope: it can outlast anything. It is. In fact, the one thing that still stands when aU else has fallen.”* A home where love of that sort is at its heart, will stand every shock of time. • “Letters to Young Churches”, by J. B.

MIRROR Of Your MIND Child May Play ■ ■ ■ Parents Role By Lawrence Gould May your children become “parent substitute^”? Answer: Certainly. What makes anyone, regardless of age or sex, a parent substitute to you is the de mands you make upon him or her. A mother who looks to her grown son for support, or for advice on her business dealings is in these respects making a “father” of him, just as a man who requires unswerv ing devotion and unqualified ap proval from his daughter is making a “mother” of her. No one is ever too old in years to look for parent substitutes if his emotions are still childish, and this is particularly true of older people as they ap proach “second childhood.” Are extraverts saner than introverts? Answer: No. As regards sanity, there is no difference between them. Both the tendency to be pri marily interested in things outside yourself (extra version) and absorp tion with your own ideas and feel ings (introversion) are normal in moderation and both can become neurotic escape if exaggerated. Whichever is your prevailing pat tern, you should take care not to let yourself become one-sided. If you are an extravert, stop and csk yourself occasionally just what you are getting out of all your strenu ous activity; if you are an intro vert, try to acquire a hobby that will “get you out of yourself.” Does fear of death cause claustrophobia ? Answer: No. If anything, it is the other way around. I have known people whose fear of death proved really to be fear of being buried, because that meant being shut in. Like all phobias, morbid terror of being in a place which you cannot get out of goes back long before you knew there was any such thing as death. It may represent a small child’s fear of being held back by his parents from trying to satisfy his instinctive wishes, which turns in adult life into fear of the con scious and unconscious inhibitions that still keep him “cooped up.” Nothing creates more anxiety than an intense, unsatisfied desire.

Barton lUTOST INDIVIDUALS during their 1*1 lifetime have had a boil. This infection is taken to 'mean that they have been eating too much food for the amount of work or exercise taken, have allowed them selves to become constipated or have not been as careful about bathing regularly as they should have been. We are told that the greatest preventative for boils is constant cleanliness of the back of the neck, the armpits and the anus and genital organs. The back of the neck is the most frequent place, in men, for boils to occur. A boil is an inflammation of the deeper layers of the skin, usually around a hair root or an oil gland. The commonest organism found in boils is the pyogenes (pus forming) aureus, a staphylococcus organism. A boil gives us a vivid picture of how nature sends its white cor puscles (disease fighters) immedi ately to the scene of an infection. They surround the spot where in fection starts by a hard white wall which we can see as we look closely at a boil. This wall is to wall off the infection so that it will not spread to other parts. The soft dark cgnter finally breaks down and thin pus comes out. Finally, the center or dead part, the core, comes out and the boil heals. The treatment to hasten the cure of the boil is application of equal parts of laundry soap and brown sugar or an ordinary bread poultice. When “ripe,” a toothpick dipped in carbolic acid punctures the central spot and the boil opens np and dis charges its contents. At no time is the boil squeezed, but draw ing the skin away with thumb and fingers will help to empty the boil. It may come as a surprise to many of us to learn that many boils are started because of the hands carrying infections from the nose to various parts of the siHn Doctors verify this statement HEALTH NOTES The causes of asthma were un known until recently. • • • Focal infection is an important cause of arthritis and other dis eases. * * * In Leningrad, during World War H, the number of cases of high blood pressure fell due to sbmi- starvation.

A case in point involves the current pur veying of Marijuana and other habit - forming, morale - destroy ing drugs among American teen agers. This is a crime for which conscienceless agents and peddlers —often the comer candy store own er—must some day make a reckon ing with God. Even so-called respectable busi ness interests may be guilty of grave scandal. Advertisers and magazines who sponsor indecent “art” to promote sales are actually helping to break down instincts of decency and reserve, especially among the young. So are the spon sors of television programs respon sible for the “plunging necklines” and other immodesties which so uften make responsible parents wonder it a TV set is a danger rather than a blessing in the home.

Canadian Presbyterians Won't Attack Societies OTTAWA—The 77th General As sembly of the Presbyterian church in CJanada refused to go on repord here as criticizing fraternal so cieties and service clubs. After lengthy debate, the dele gates voted to delete from a com mittee report a section which said that, to the extent that such groups “encourage men unto good works which are not done in Christ as Lord,” they minister to “human piide and vainglory.” Opponents of the section charged that members of the Joint Commit tee on Church and Nation, which drafted the report, were not well informed concerning service clubs and fraternal organizations. However, the Rev. George Doug las of Woodstock, Ont., who 1 pre sented* the report and moved its adoption in entirety, said the sec tion was written by a committee member whose father was a past governor of a well-known service club and who himself was a mem ber of a fraternal organization. The section which brought a storm of protest from clerical and lay commissioners said of such organizations: ‘They bear witness to man’s long ing for security and fellowship, to his aspiration for a better life, and to his d^ire for self-expression. “Insofar as such societies make use of the Bible but ignore or ob scure its central testimony to Jesus Christ as Redeemer, they pervert the Gospel and entangle men in human error. *To the extent that they encour age men unto good works which, however, are not done from, in, and unto Christ as Lord, they min ister to human pride and vainglory. “Offering themselves to men as organizations for moral training, fellowship and mutual aid, they de prive Christ of His glory as men substitute them for His church.” Religious Question Box Q.
