PS- H*'. 4 ' FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1953 THE NEWBERRY SUN PAGE THREE Homes Open To Public Charleston, S. C. (Special) — Again the Eastern Seaboard is opening its finest private homes to the public. This spring, homes and gardens will be on tour in Charleston, South Carolina, in Virginia, Maryland and around Philadelphia. In Charleston twenty of the handsomest historic private homes are included in a series of staggered tours from March 15 through April 12. In Virginia several hundred places will be open April 25 through May 3. Both tours are remarkable this year for the number of places being opened for the first time. In Virginia, throughout the state there will be over one hundred places added to the list, and in Charleston six of the houses have not been shown the public be fore. As each section blossoms into spring and the country side as sumes its loveliest appearance, various non-profit organizations open private homes and gardens in this series of tours. In Virginia during April and May there is real natural beauty and the high ways are most colorful with dog wood and redbud, the private gar dens are at their very best. It is for this reason that the Garden Club of Virginia, in the early 1920’s, selected the last week in April for Historic Garden Week. Most of the fine estates, many of them of great historical in terest are open to visitors only during this one week each year. The owners of Charleston’s hand somest houses lend them to His toric Charleston Foundation so that with funds raised from their tours they may further the preser vation of Charleston’s architectur al heritage. In Virginia the highways are plainly marked especially for the visitors in order that they may drive their own cars, saving time yet enjoying the homes and gar dens in a more leisurely fashion. Architects, historians, a n tique lovers, dirt gardeners, profession al men all find much to inspire them during Garden Week, and more and more each year visitors are repeating the experience of re turning again and again to see, not only how Virginian’s lived in the past, but how present-day Vir ginians live, and for this reason a selected group of modern homes and gardens are now included. A guide book giving detailed in formation on each place opening as well as the directions to reach them with the least inconvenience, is available from AAA offices and tour bureaus in most large cities, or may be obtained direct from Historic Garden Week office. Room 3 Hotel Jefferson, Richmond 19, Virginia. In Charleston, where Spring ar rives early, are held the first of the Eastern Seaboard tours, which continue for almost a month. From March 15 through April 12, twenty homes will throw wide their handsome panelled doors to visitors. And at the same time the Famous Gardens, Magnolia, Middleton and Cypress are in full bloom, with masses of azaleajj, wisteria, cherokee rose, thousands of bulbs and flowering shrubs. The entire city, too, is at its best. Here all the homes are in the city proper, in fact all of them are located within six or seven blocks of each other, in the most unique residential section in America. In this one small portion of a thriv ing city, locally referred to as “Below Broad Street,” are located more buildings from the eigh teenth century than in any city in America. And a lovely section it is, reminiscent to the traveler of visits to France, England and the Caribbean islands. Two great rivers, the Ashley and the Cooper, bound the town, making of it a long peninsula, and it is at the point of this- peninsula, with a view of the water down many of the streets, that most of the old homes are located. On the Battery, looking out across the harbor with nothing between them and the Canary is lands except historic Fort Sumter, is a row of stately houses. Several of these will be on tour, and for the first time. The Roper man sion, built for a wealthy planter of sea-island cotton in 1848, is one of the fine crowning touches to the classic revival. The heroic portico is a choice part of the superb view of Charleston from the harbor. It has been the home of several prominent families; of the Rudolph Sieglings, of the Sol omon R.

Another of the beautiful homes on tour this year for the first time is the Simons-Edward house at 14 Legare Street, called the Pineapple Gates house, because of the beauty of its entrance way. Built about 1800, it is noted for the purity and elaborateness of its Adams decoration.

LOST IT IN A MORE HUMANE WAY A one-armed man walked into a barber shop and announced he wanted a shave. The barber invit ed him to have a seat, that he was just in time. The barber had just received a new supply of razors and he would give him the first shave. Presently the stranger winced as if the new razor wasn’t new after all. Said the barber, “haven’t you been in here before?” “No, answered the stranger, “I lost this arm at a saw mill.” The nation’s farm flock totaled 374,332,000 layers at the end of 1052. VLakc Pretty Shower Curtains at Home | ^ h f / i i.iade at home in less than an hour, the shower curtain is hung. Heading, complete with eyelets, was ironed to the plastic and two widths of the film were sealed together with tape. BY EDNA MILES D ID you ever think about making your own shower curtains? It can be done in less than an hour’s time, with very little effort and no spe cial knowledge. The only materials you’ll need are about four yards of vinyl plas-. tic film which is available in most department stores at about 39 cents a yard, your electric iron, a light press cloth and two new plastic tapes. The first tape is one and one- half inches wide. It has a coating of adhesive vinyl that makes pos sible a tight bond with a light application of heat. It is used as a heading for the shower curtain and comes complete with inset metal eyelets. The heading is fairly heavy gauge but transparent so that it will reinforce the curtain top with out obscuring the color and pat tern of the material. The s€*cond tape, also transpar ent. is three fourths of an inch wide arid is used for seaming the plastic film. This tape has the same adhesive quality and will bond with the film easily under your iron which should be turned to “rayon” or “cool” setting.
