(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) How shall one curtain the bedroom with best effect? Shall we use glass curtains only, or glass curtains with side draperies, or colonial tie-back curtains, or draw curtains of heavier fabric? Much depends, of course, on the character of the room und .the taste of the occupant in other furnish- ings. The curtains at the windows must complete the other articles in the room, as It were, by harmonizing or contrasting pleasantly with them, or by centering attention on the win- dows as decorative features. A bedroom in an apartment may re- quire glass curtains for the sake of privacy where cross-over colonial cur- tains could be used In the bedrooms of a house set back from the road. Many people, however, like a uniform appearance of the windows of a de- Figured Bedroom Hangings Against a i Plain Wall Finish, i tached house from the outside, and so put the same kind of glass curtans in every room, with the possible excep- tion of the kitchen, at the back. They depend on overdraperies within to ex- press the special characteristics or use of each room. Choice of plain or figured over. draperies for any window Is regulated by the background furnished by the wails. If the wallpaper is figured, plain-colored drapery is almost obliga. tory. Patterned side curtains would re sult in confusion of lin~s, design and colors. But If the walls are tinted or papered In a plain background color, definite patterns and vivid shades may be used for side draperies with good effect, provided the colors chosen are right for the room. The picture shows a bedroom win dow treatment planned by the bureau of home economics of the United States Department of Agriculture for & room in an apartment having a plain light tan wallpaper. The glass curtains extend only to the sill, but the side hangings reach almost to the floor. giving height and dignity to a rather small window. The length of the side draperies In this case was governed by the desire to make the window seem longer and the rom slightly formal In treatment, The pat terned material was also chosen to bring out the window as a point of Interest, and to make a contrast with the plain walls, Sometimes the cholce of longer or shorter side curtains is governed by the prevailing style among decorators, but more often it Is decided by the needs of a particu lar room and the likes of the individ ual, If there had been a radiator un der the window in this case it would have been advisable to use draperies extending to the apron edge only, There Is no valance, ns a line cross- ing the window would have cut off some of the desired height. The glass curtains of natural theatrical gauze, which match the background of the drapery, are shirred on a rod with small heading. The side draperies are of good quality, fast-colored cretonne, unlined, and finished with an invisi- ble handsewn hem, They are laid in french pleats and attached to rings which enable them to be drawn across the window on the outer pole, SPPPPIPVPPIVIVIOIPOOIPIIVD 3 Hot House Lambs $ $ \ : 2 Are a Tasty Dish $ PPI IISVIIe9 2600000000000 Lamb Is In all the year round, and in seasons Is very reasonable in price, despite the opin- lon of those who think only of legs and chops.

During the winter when the cows’ and chickens’ green food supply is so limited the vitamin con tent In dairy products and eggs Is somewhat lowered. It then becomes very essential to increase the supply of green leafy vegetables in the diet and to supplement the diet with daily use of cod liver oil. “The amount needed depends upon the Individual and the vitamin con tent of the oil. The physician will prescribe the amount for the baby.
