pinned close against tl.e wall and a crack 
chosen to represent the edge of the table. 
The top of the table must be repre¬ 
sented by a chalk line. If the curtain is 
not to be lined, but is to have French 
headings, put a piece of stiffening under 
the top hem. If it is to be run on rod, 
turn the hem the desired width after it 
is properly headed up, aiid sew it across 
by machine. Shaped valances are made 
on very heavy buckram and are almost 
too hard work to be done at home. The 
shape is drawn upon the buckrum and 
then cut out and the material mounted 
on it and then lined. Trimming should 
always be put on by hand, as a machine 
is apt to draw it. 
Curtain making is hard work, but it 
can be done at home if care is taken 
with the sewing and measuring and head¬ 
ing up, so they will hang correctly. 
The Emergency Garden 
(Continued from page 471) 
a great boon to the delinquent planter. 
Will grow in the driest soil, spreading its 
yellow, orange and red flowers over a con¬ 
siderable extent of ground. It is splendid 
for carpet bedding and does particularly 
well at the seashore. The foliage is succu¬ 
lent moss green of a peculiar but interest¬ 
ing sort. Rose moss, as it is known, is de¬ 
sirable for rock planting also. Another 
value is that clumps of it may be taken up 
when blooming and placed in other sec¬ 
tions of the garden that have become bare. 
An easy way of sowing is to mix the seeds 
with soil and scatter over tilled beds. 
Otherwise, simply sprinkle the seed on top 
of the soil and rake over the bed. 
Salvia.—The red spikes of salvia are 
particularly effective during the summer 
months and add a touch of brilliance that 
cannot be filled by many blooms. If sown 
in June they should be in full bloom by the 
end of July and can be kept in blossom 
until frost. 
With a groundwork of these rapidly 
growing annuals we should by no means 
neglect certain bulbous plants that are of 
rapid growth. Chief among them is the 
gladiolus. It would be futile to attempt 
a description of the wonderful shades 
and colors of these waxy, lily-like flowers 
on their straight spikes. The bulbs may 
be set out early, and weekly sowings 
made for bloom all summer, but a good 
effect can be had if this process is be¬ 
gun as soon as possible and continued 
until the end of June. Gladioli are gross 
feeders, and should be given doses of 
liquid manure during growing season. 
When you have made your plan for 
the things sown in the ground there are 
opportunities for garden planting that 
will give you immediate effect. 
There is, first of all, the geranium. 
You have probably become tired of it be¬ 
cause you have seen the brick-red sorts 
that bear no name. Ask for named va¬ 
rieties, stating the purpose for which
