The windows are left open to admit the cooling breezes, and the draperies whip back and forth in tho wind and dust and against tho screens. Occa- sionally a summer storm comes up and the delicate material gets drenched before the window Is closed, or someone in his haste to shut the window catches the fabric and there is a long tear lo pay tor it. So It is quite worth-while to know how to get the most wear out of curtains iB the summer time when one wants lo get along without "doing them up" any oftener than is necessary. Tho thrifty home maker lays away her expensive ones after the spring housecleaning and substitutes for them hangings of a material that will better withstand the rigors of sum- mer winds, dust and sunshine, and frequent tubbings. As most of the wear comes on the lower half of the curtain, she finds that It is decidedly advantageous to leave open hems at both ends. Thus it is possible to distribute the wear more evenly by reversing from time to time the top and bottom In case of a tear, too, the rent may often be mended and the gathers so disposed near the top of the window that the repair will not be noticeable. I This method need not preclude the frill above the curtain rod that is liked by so many housekeepers. The line of machine stitching through one hem may be taken out whenever the curtains are inverted and a similar stitching put into the other hem. Pins and Cheesecloth A spring clothespin painted the same color as the woodwork and hung by a cord from a tack inconspicu- ously driven into the cdgo of the window casing will save considerable wear on the fabric. By snapping the pin on a fold of the curtain, the ma- terial may be held away from the opening in such a position that it can- not be whipped back and forth against tho sill and screen. This also afTords free passage for air â€" cool air coming into the house, and, hot air going out. Such a device at bedroom windows will prove a boon every night of tho year. Some women protect tho curtains in bedrooms by means of a cheesecloth screen for each opening. The frame tor such a screen is made of light wood Just largo enough to fit Into the opening when the window is raised to tho desired height, and is held In place by shutting the upper sash down on it. Of course, the cheesecloth may be washed as often as desired. And the screen may be kept out of sight in the closet when it is not in use. Clean Screens Curtains are often made unneces- sarily dirty by lack of attention to windows or screens, or both. It is a good idea to wash screens often during tho summer. By closing the window and throwing water on the screen with the hose, then wiping the netting with a cloth to remove any Cf Interest to the Ladies add any leftover rhlckoii gravy; season, i add the pleeeK of meat tablespoons of rooked (or canned) peas and a few pieces of the now po- tatoes cut Hinall.

Instead of washing out tho chamois by hand, drop it into the machine and It will come out delight- fully clean. By sandwiching the win- dow cleaning between caring for Grayish Foliage If there is but one garden, and tha owner desires both scarlet lychnis, for instance, and pink phlox, there is no reason why he should forego either. The thing to do would be to put the two at a distance by the use of some white or cream flower or grayish foliage. If the proper numbers of each are used tho plan will be suc- cessful, but if the gardener does not- wish to experiment, he had better choose two plants that w-ill combine more easily. In a garden which has a genera) color scheme of blue and yellow, it is. safe to introduce lavender, shades of purple, cream, orange, and, care being' used, even the reds aud scarlets as accents. In such a garden the major- ity of pei-ennials could be grown. The few that could not could be placed in a border in some other part of the plot. Certain floral combinations, though' hackneyed, are undeniably beautiful. As an instance, there is the delphini- um belladonna ^nd madonna lily group. This effective pair are seen in nearly every sizable garden. Con- siderable zest will be Imparted lo this grouping by the addition of either coreopsis or deep red annual poppy. The latter will bloom In June from self- or fall-sown seed. The same red poppy, sown broadcast with blue corn- flowers and callopis will form a gay patch of color. The ruby-colored corn- flower intermingled with California poppies of pale yellow or cream shades or with the improved dwarl sunflowers "Orion" and "Stella" will make a rather unusual contrast. The starry form of the sunflower will show to fullest advantage against the fuller form of the cornflowers. Tiger lilies, of themselves a rather difficult brick- orange, are charming when surround- ed with tall -white phlox and a pale blue or lavender flower. Numerous original and effective combinations will be discovered if one experiments. Thoy will often occur quite by acci- dent. The irises, on account of their mar- velous coloring aud unusual form, may be a part of many beautiful com- binations The wealth of good colors found in the late Darwin tulips sug- gests them as companion (fowers to the irises. The irises will contrast with tho heavier forms of the tulips, and provide a screen for their drying stalks later in the season. The cot- tage tulips, coming a bit earllor than the Darwius, may be used with the spring perennials; tulip "Thomas Moore," a peculiar tawny orange.
