In tho kitchen, for Instance, Uio lower half of tho window la better protected from the neighbors' eyes y a celorod pattern on glass than by a sash cur tain. A window that gives on a area way offers a discouraging oalteok; carer It over with a sunshiny, yetlow design. Tho glass panel at eltfaer sldo of tho front door Is a fair Odd for dec oration; and a nursery window can be tnado to delight a chiidish heart 'by reproducing tho animals of (ho Jun Klo, or tho children of any land. Tho materials for stcacillng are of tho sltnplost: Water colors, a aton---ell brush, a stencil plate, aayn the Woman's Homo Companion. Tho water colors may bo of two sorts: tho dry cakes of paint that come In bozos of water colors, or tho "moist" variety, put up In tubes. In decorating window pane it Is ad tVisablo to attach the stoncM to tho glass. This Is done by rujtblug oao side of tho stencil with ordinary yel low kitchen soap. A very tfala coat lag of soap Is all that Is required for a thin paper stencil; a prepared atea ell, as It Is heavier and stiffer, will ,,call for a slightly thicker coating. iNew apply ihe stencil td (fee. window jmi. Whlto operating the brush you 'will probably wish to hold aoaae part 'vafJtae stonclt firmly la ataoe wth jur left band, but the application of soap "prevents slipping. hi stenciling such materials as lln om or burlap, you deal with an absorb ent surfaco, but glims rejects aiots- turo, so that It Is Important, and for tunately easy, to have your color of iuijt tho right consistency. It It runs, It blurs outlines: If It U not sufllcleut- ly moist, It dries so quickly that tho r-olor cannot bo smoothly sprond, There are two ways of uhim; bard wntor color: ), Lumpen tlio surfaco of tho iiilto vith n few drops of water, nllowlug the niolsturo to sink In, and ohtulnlui; ly ibis means a Hurfaco coat of a con nlstcnuy sliullnr to that of a salvo. iThe color should milium to your Alitor If you touch It llKhlly, hut it slioulil not ibo wut "i, Ueinovo the culm of color from tho box. brush one Hlilo with water, nnd rub tho damp surfaco on a white illnnor plato, which will hoivu im as 'nrtlotto, until tho paint to bo used Jsithluk enough to cllni; to tlio bristles l u stencil brush, but not iiufllulcntly wot to run. This nmtlioit is nomsmry when you wish to mU your colors; to - blue, for Instance, blue and nllow to inulio gioun, i oil and lil.o for violet tn iis!:ik moist water loloni, press a small ipiantlty of the paint from (ho itulw on tho dinner plate. Take up "with yoiir'stunult linihh a little of tho -olor nnd, as It l loo wet to use Im mediately, test It on tho pluto until it (reaches n Horvlcmiblo coiislsleucy. Hy rapplylng- a drop of water from time to tlsae the proiwr thlcluicsit ran easily A Bresenred. Tlio color may now bit applied. Do caiofol that 'the stencil briibh Is per ffftly dry; 'press It llnhtly Inio tho cblor. niolstenoil on tho haul rake or preparvd on tho plate, and stencil against the window imno, stlppllnj; Iho surface us youtwnuld in Ilia caso ot ordinary stvncllfng. Bo sure, to 'i;over thorouithly with color the wlus of thontencll, In order to obtain clc.ir cat outlines. "Nutu rally, water color alone will not "Withstand tho ruviiRes of window washing. Tho paint iniiRt be made per manent if this kind of dscnratiou Is to be practical. As water color alien very quickly, you will be able, ss boon yoa have colored, your dcflltfn and (before you remove tho stuicll, to cov- er the paint with a coating of white, skellac, which should be sproad with ua'soft camel's hair brush. On llftlni; ho stencil you may fliud that tho lay ir ot soap by which It was attaclieil to a window pane haa left a HllRbt tnaark on the. glass, but thin is easily "lfacd by a wet cloth as soon as tho isheUac has' dried and formed a hard ell, FOR THOSE WHO WISH TO TEACH QmsHms For Appflcinls For County Certificates.
