And =0 it happens—as 1 have it on high authority—that I am the third represen- tative of the *gossipy,.unstable, unclub- able sex” (the adjectives are not mine) who has had a chance to approve the charm of The Family's cozy home in Post street. My tour of inspection is made while we wait for the chef to arrive—you see I am carly—and the place is so delightful I at once constitute myself a member by a supreme effort of the imagination. This in no wise violates the spirit of the by- laws, as I understand it; it cannot worry one of the bona fide two hundred, and it does comfort me. For the family row that is on the cards for Christmas week no speclal dinner will be served. There will be a buffet spread, which will fit in better with the serious bysiness of the evening than would a formal féast, but its details are not yet nominated with definiteness. Steward McFaul explains this to me and offers in substitute for a menu the follawing recipes, each named in honor of its sponso BROCHETTES OF EASTERN OYSTERS A LA SLO!

E Pecially are they important in this day of flats, avartments and closely built suburban house: How to admit screen one's sel ht to the room and v 7 from the curious saze of neighbors is always a problem to tkhe housewite, The bonne femme, or straight hanging curtain, directly next to the shades and stopping at the window ledge, is decided- ly the best solution. This single width broad curtain, w! es from 1 parailel with the shade roller to the win- dow ledge on! g inside the window frame Although it ng been considered the house furnishing prercgative of the a curtain which any ife can make for herself. Quite gemerally this curtain at the bottom in three or four scallops, and the center of the lower half is gen- erally inset with a medallion of lace or strips of insertion arranged to simulate medallion. The ready to hanz bonne femme comes in scrim,’ bobbinet and the higher-priced laces like Renaissance, Ara- bian and broderie Anglais, on finest linen inset with filet lace. A woman deft with her needle can imi- tate these by buying either scrim or bob- binet by the yard, making a medaliion of torchen or antique lace insertlon and trimming the scallops with the matérial set on in littie ruffles, or with ruffles of lace to match the insertion used. With such a curtain the shade may be run up to the top of the window, and plenty of light admitted to the room. The housewiie whe cannot afford to buy 809d lace curtains will welcome the in- coming fad for appliqued rcrim effects. This is an Inexpensive mater! and lends itself artistically to the mission furnished living rooms. At a distance this new scrim gives almost the effect of a flower- stamped chiffon, but at close range 1t proves to be a mesh not unlike cheese- cloth with the floral patterns woven in.

These very faddish curtains, however, are not a standard style and the bobbinets, set off by guipure, Cluny and Arabian and antique lace, are still in faver among conservative furnishers.
