Fashioned In Cretonne, They Are Artis tic and Attractive— Some Window Draperies in a High Degree Effective. Quaint lambrequins of flowered ma terlals are In again after bring out for a hundred years The> are wonder fully attractive, too. even in a Hr 1 - iy furaisheartaor.i, for cretonne is be log made in spme very artis ic a lor effects now. ' Besides the advantage of lightness they do not require so man\ sets of sheer curtains inside A single pair at each window with plain, straight side hangings of cretonne and a lam brequin to finish the top is quite enough for any room Lambrequins may be straight across the top of the window They may be plaited or be cut in three shaped scal lops. One quaint fas!)ion is to dis pense entirely with any side drapery of cretonne, and to have the lambre quin form a panel at each side of the window top. Then between the fwo panels have the crcterne draped in a festoon a little shorter than the side pieces on the lower edge. For -a straight across plaited lam brequin 8ide Curtains may be used or not, but if no side draperies are used then the lambrequin should be rather deep, perhaps a qua- ter fhe full length of the window. Much of the effective ness of this window decoration do pends on getting the right proportion for the drapery Double box plaits TASSELS COMPLETE THE BELT. Hew Idea That Is Most Becoming to i, Ordinary Figures. Most of the new high belts are fin ished in one long end with a tassel. This idea is carried out even in morn ing dresses, voile or pongee, and is becoming to the average figure, par ticularly as the new semi-princess dress is so much the rage. The belt at present is not fastened directly aronnd the waist line, but slightly abovo it, to give the skirt a very long tine in front and on the sides. Some dresses of light materials are finished in front directly below the guimpe in a large bow of the material. This is not unattractive for very slim figures, for it adds several inches to the bust measure There will be, ow ing to the present increasing popu larity of the guimpe waist, a decided leaning toward the very low line of the corsage, for it is becoming to every woman, and the guimpe will add what ever Is necessary for the sake of modesty I Mohair Petticoats. First ft “ a.? reported that taffeta might be rubberized, then pongee took kindly to the process and now mohair has become water and dirt proof This last is a great acquisitioir to enthusias tic motorists, for the material fs light and cool, and at the samu time it wears like wire Pongee and silk may hold their places in the o'-.teem of womankind for raincoats to be worn at social functions. but for driving, auto- mobilo and coaching mohair will be found superior The prettiest coats are of white and many are made In models so charming that no one but the initiated would suspect them of br tig any moro useful in a storm than a 1 ght and lacy opera coat CASE FOR CHURCH BOOKS. HE MIOttT GO-TOFATHER AND PARE WORSE :OLD STYLE RETURNS laid close together and having the plaits shirred three inches below the top will make a graceful hanging. When more fullness is desired triple box plaits are used, and if gathers are not liked the plaits may be held in place with a few rows of stitching and held to the pole or frame by under fastenings. A simpler way. which is attractive for bedroom drapery, is to have the side curtains quite plain, just a w :dth of the cretonne uced for each, and across the top haye a deep valance of the cretonne hung on a rod with a narrow upstanding frill to finish the top. After it is put up the greater fullness of the valance may be pushed to the sides Very often other curtains are omitted in rooms which have sash pieces or inside shutters. It looks prettier, however, to hang some thin lace or netting the full length: df the window under the cretonne side draj. eries Ruffled valances are both quain^and effective. They differ from the above only in having a separate frill two or three Inches wide Bet on the edge of the valance proper Sometimes this frill is trimmed with braid or gimp, or the whole valance itself may have a decoration As a rule cretonne Is decorative enough in itself to re quire nothing in the way of trimming to c uhance its effect. In arras fabrics lambrequins are made on frames to fit over the top of the window or doors and to form a support for the side draperies. If curtains at the sides match the lam brequin then there should be the same de< orative treatment used on both. Applique and stencil work show to advantage on the rough linen arras which is now so popular with mission furnishings. WHEN THE DUST FLIES. Pretty Coat Designed for Either paca or Tussore.

Charles Nickolson, Sr.,_has a pecan tree of which he is Justly proud. In 1855 he was brought to Texas as a slave, says the Houston Post. When he was set free he bought a small farm and there was one pecan tree on it. He planted a few more trees, but they were small or common pe cans. While young and strong he raised cotton and corn and made a living, hut no money to save. To-day he Is no longer able to work the field, but devotes his attention to pecan trees. One tree bears the largest pecans grown in America. They can be found et the department of agriculture, Washington, where he sent a few. Last year he sold $54 worth from this one tree. He gave his friends some and planted more. The young trees he Is selling rapidly at $1 each, and yesterday said he had none left. FRIENDS HELP.
