l POINTS ON WINDOW D3APERY Persona! Supervision of Housekeeper Necsssnry 'f the Est Results Are to Be Obtained. The better the curtaln3 the better the case. All window curtains require the personal supervision of the house keeper at this season of the year, whether they be of lace or merely some plain sheer material. In the eyes of the artistic home dec orator, those of plain surface are more to be desired, ami certain it is ' that they need just as careful laun dering as lace. The first thought In taking down of sheer curtains is that little brass rod. which will tear the hem unless the housewife's own hands remove them from their position. They are now soake.I In cold water and then wrung out and put Into a second clean bath of clear cold water to take out the collection of soot and dust that was scarcely noticed while the curtains hung Now lukewarm soapy water, sevor.il baths, for the constantly changing waters take the place of the wash board Curtains should be persistent ly soured up and down in their sev eral waters, squeezed rather than rubbed. Rinsing In clear cold water Is again In order, and drying In bright sunlight Is a necessity. After the sheer stuffs have been well dampened and tightly rolled over night they are ironed on a very large flat Ironing table, with all possible thought for the grain of the goods. The ordinary laundress will rarely take the trouble to renovate curKlns wilh any degree of feeling for their material or for their future smooth ness of outline. ft Is altogether possible to so straighten the damp material, while beneath the iron, that it will hang In long straight folds instead of puffed ridges. Curtains are folded or rolled. Lace curtains need a long roll on which to rest thera over summer. Less expen sive plain materials are folded and placed In a drawer or rehung. and in variably they should be pressed into long narrow folds and then lapped once aoross their length. CNG SAIL ITII the passing of the mailing vessel from the sea has gone the tea's romance. Romance cannot live without its villains. Boarding mas ters, bucko mates, bul lying captains these were the villains of sea romance, and they are gone, or going, with the sail ing craft they lived in. Chief among them in their itera tions was the boarding master of sail ortown. Though he never went to sea. he was the heavy villain in every plot that delivered the unlucky sailor, or the unluckier landsman, into the hands of captains and mates. Mostly they were sneaking, brutal, cunning camps. these boarding masters, own ers of low dives along the water front, which they misnamed sailors boarding houses. They hung In tho wake of incoming ships, made friends with the easiest marks among the crews ami baited or bullied them Into their dens. There poor Jack Tar was kept and entertained with bad whisky and worse women until his money was gone. Then he was shipped aboard some vessel, after signJug away one or more months' unearned wages in payment for an imaginary board bill and a "donkey's breakfast." sea fclang for a straw bedtick. "Blood money" and "dead horse." the sailora called this robbery. The captains al ways paid it. taking the sailor's "ad- ance note, which was certain Chocolate Vanilla Layer Cake.

He roared again to the British consul, to his shipping agents, to the po lice, who were sympathetic but helpless. Nobody could be found to even hint that the kings had any hand in the affair and the shipping commis sioner's records were clear. He had shipped no deserters that he knew of. But Captain Brown swore that If he couldn't get back his men, or get the dogs of justice to even bark at the kings, he at least would pay them no blood money for a new crew. So he went to another port and brought a new crew to Irvington by steamer. His bark was hauled out Into the stream and her crew kept close in her forecastle. That night she was boarded by masked men, who swept her new crew over the bows into the stream. Gossip had it that some of them were drowned. Captain Brown gave up and paid the Shencan boys $75 instead of ?30 each for a crew, and put to sea " a hurry "Tbcv'ie M"iiu swine, but they"X3 nags of sailortown," he said. The name of Sherman was never coupled openly with the fatnry of that night raid, but the kings shipped all the crews from Ir vington afterward. No ship went to fca short-handed. However blind the shipping commissioner might be in other ways, he saw to !t that the shipping laws were obeyed as to the number of men required for types and tonnage of ships. A man might never have seen the sea. but if he were not too drunk to say he was an able seaman and to sign his name to the ship's articles, that settled it. He would probably be an able seaman or a dead greenhorn before his ship reached port This official insistence on the letter of the law sometimes caused the kings to do strange things. Toward the end of the season they were at times hard pushed for one or two men to fill out a crew. Then did all men In sailortown not in the kings' special favor hunt cover and stay hid un til the List ship was out of sight beyond the oar. For Jack and Pete wore no respecters of persons. All men looked alike to them, and they sent to sea more than one who held himself too acute to be trapped into an unwilling voyage. Well-educated, well-dressed and companionable, the kings mixed with the best and worst that drifted into their realms, and once in their clutches no man escaped from thera except by the open sea. Jimmy Hunter, Yale man and cowpurcher. went down to the waterfront alone ono day. against the advice of the upper town, to tee tho sights. He was wise to the world and had a year's thirst and pay with him. He met the kings, who were glad to see him. Just one more man was needeti for the square-rigger flood Hope, then lying in the stream waiting for a crew, with her captain. Black, swearing at Jack and Pete for delaying him. The kings attended to Hunter's thirst and were friendly, even confidential. No secret was made of their trade. They told him stories of shanghaied sallormen and of crews they had stolen from one ship for another. He was much interested. Jack took him up to the ship ping commissioner's to see the crew of the Good Hope shipped. He was even asked to and did tlgn his name once or twice "as a witness." A friend from the upper town risked a broken head to warn him. But the Sherman boys were also friends at least three hours old and, anyhow, he could take care of himself. At last he caught Pete in an attempt to drug his whisky and left the kings, with a laughing comment on sailortown ways. Well outside the deadline he stopped In a quiet saloon. It was late and be and the lonesome bartender had a nightcap together. When he came alive next morning he was at sea in the Good Hope and a beefy English mate was kicking him in the ribs. Of the months that followed Hunter never told much. He learned sailors' work; he had to. He picked up a scar or two from the English mate's brass knuckles. Also he acquired a deep desire to kill the kings of sailortown. Captain Black and the mate. At last he found himself In the consul's office at Dunkirk. France, dressed in the clothes he had on when he met the Sherman boys. For a won der, they had sent them aboard with him. He was in United States territory again, and. first off. he would square yards with Captain Black. But the consular agent was a Frenchman who would neither speak English nor understand Hunter's French unless he wanted to. Captain Black lolled in an office chair and grinned while Hunter told his troubles. When he had finished, without a word of comment the consular agent spread out two papers, the ship's articles and an "advance note." "Ees thees votre nom?" he asked It was He remembered his signing "aa a witness and was dumb. After th "advance note" and a preposterous slop chest charge bad been deducted from his wages, they handed him the balance, a pitiful little pile of small silver, and told him to get out. It was against the law. of course, but he didn't know that. Hp was set adrift, almost without money, in a land of strangers. A hostile land. too. for the gendarmes in front of the office eyed him with disfavor. He was desperately lone ly, and felt the grip f circumstance keen upon him. As he wad.Tid about the strange streets he discovered, j-ewed in the lining of his coat, an envelope, until then unnoticed. Its content., were Tour oue-huudred-dollar bills and this note: i i t, .

Meeting that English mate In the street, he gave him a most artistic beat ing, paid a fine, and took the next boat for Lon don town. Incidentally, he forgot all about his de sire to travel six or seven thousand miles and kill the sailortown kings What srasra of virtue caused thera to give hira back his money ho never knew. They were not noted for doing such things. That the kings so continually escaped punish ment was small wonder. The men Injured never had a chance to tell their stories until they were ashore In some foreign land. Consuls In foreign ports could not libel ships or detain captains on their unsupported word. The ships' papers were always straight, a. r.cy rate on the face of them. The most that could be dono was to report the case ami there it ended. The Sherman boys on the other side of the earth never heard even an echo of It. The witnesses against them were scat tered over the seven seas and prosecution could not touch them News Notes of Interest From Varl ous Parts of State.
