*•* doesn't, at one time or another,
take a look at the tired curtains In a
room and sigh to herself that she
wishes something could be done
about them?
There’s no reason for putting up
with weary windows if your remod
eling hag is bulging with gay pieces
of material or while the remnant
counters flaunt their bright pieces
of fabric at you. A few time-tried
decorator’s tricks, a brief session at
the sewing machine plus the mak
ings for the curtains can give you a
new look for those windows and add
cheer to the whole house.
Throw out the old curtains’ No
indeed, unless they're simply worn
beyond repair! But if they’re short
and shrunken from laundering, add
a ruffle or a false hem made from
a yard or two of contrasting color
pattern. If they’re faded, perhaps a
bit of dye or tint will do the trick,
or perhaps you can remove the old
color entirely with color remover
and then sew sprightly tiebacks and
add a bit of color around the edges
for trim.
Then, too, you may have old cur
tains—too large or too small—from
another place in which you lived.
Bring these out, too, and chances
are in your favor that something
can be done to make them useful
again. There are all sorts of ideas
buzzing about that will make cur
tain sewing a pleasure rather than
a chore, and the sewing is easy be

Cut the old curtains to fit the win
dows to cover, and plan to have

add color by drawing and gathering
them tight at the middle of the
window and tying with a bow to
match the rest of the kitchen color
scheme.

For tired windows.
Tieback Curtains Suitable
For Any of the Rooms
When considering styles for indi
vidual windows, you’ll find tieback
curtains ideal for practically every
room in the house. Old curtain
panels can easily be converted into
something gay and new looking with
contrasting colored ruffles around
the inside edges and across the bot
tom. This technique will also give
you extra length and width, if that
is necessary.
If you’ve decided that the living
or dining room, or bedroom or
breakfast nook is just a bit too
dark and cheerless for the winter
months, then plan to use plenty of
white or gay colored material. In
troduce this by way of ruffling or
valances, and try to have a rather
sheer window curtain when possible
so you can catch what bit of sun
light there is available.
Afraid of making ruffles? The ruf-
fler time saving attachment to use
on the sewing machine is now
available and the sewing experts at
the local sewing center will show
you how easily it converts straight
strips of fabric into rows of frilly
trimming.
Swag curtain and valance make a
dining room alcove combination and
you can use the same combination
in the kitchen. Salvaged fabric can
be used for the sash curtain.
If
extra length is needed decorate it
with a false hem made of a straight
strip of the contrasting fabric. The
contrasting fabric can be carried
out further for a smart effect by
using it for either a ruffle or swag
type valance.

Cough Relief Is
Trulyjiurprising
So Easy. No Cooking. Big Saving.
You may not know it, but, in your
own kitchen, you can easily prepare
a really surprising relief for coughs
due to colds. I t ’s old-fashioned—your
mother probably used it—but for real
results, it’s hard to beat.
First, make a syrup by stirring 2
cups granulated sugar and one cup
of water a few moments, until dis
solved. No cooking needed. I t ’s no
trouble. Or you can use com syrup or
liquid honey, instead of sugar syrup.
Then get 2 >4 ounces of Pinex from
any druggist This is a special com
pound of proven ingredients, in con
centrated fo rm , well known for
quick action in throat and bronchial
Irritations.
Put the Pinex Into a pint bottle,
and fill up with your syrup. Thus you
make a full pint of splendid cough
syrup, and you get about four times
as much for your money. I t never
spoils. Children love Its pleasant taste.
And for quick relief. It’s a wonder.
It loosens the phlegm, soothes the irri
tated membranes, eases the soreness,
makes breathing easy, and lets you
get restful sleep. Just try It. and If not
pleased, your money will be refunded.
