TOWN WEEKLY MAGAZINE SECTION 15 FINAL STEPS FOR COACH by CHAHLES SCMHEIDER (With HssvM T. BsdUn) LAST WKKK we constructed the uodet-«sunriaj;e of our model stage coach. Now, we ihalt rnake the wbMb asd body parts, aasambto the coach and palnt.it. Handicraft Plan No. «S-A supplements Plan No. 63, giv- ing full-sized detaBs of the coach body and wheels. Four hubs will be required for the wheats. These are turned in a lathe to the alas given on the plan, or. you can shape them with a jactafcfe, coarse file and sandy per if yo* have no lathe. This dosw. cut lengths of % -inch dowels for the .«poka». Make 11M aaokaa wedge- shaped where they At into UH <entral channel in the hub. M- tins- ten in e»ch hub a s snugly as possible.

Kgtit widths you'll hnve in all and that micM be too full for double windows if they're nar- row; but remember that the nicest window effects are ob- tained with generously full cur- tains. If this is a little loo full, you can use leas than a full width of each color, but in that case, stitch the two dark» and the two lights together on each side then baste the two sections together so that they can easily come apart for launder- ing. If your double windows are wide, or if there are three win- dows in the Tt&r. these full eight widths shouldn't be too much. If you use the full widths, haste the four on each side to- gether as they'll hang better A WEE BIT O' SCOTCH AHi<i> lirt indent t's a little plaid room like th\* mir iriih tke crisp sheer curtains 1i*d bark with stiff pfViiW hair ribbon boirr end jinithr/1 ai the In/) irith a hair rihhnn ruffle. and yet they csn com* apait to make the laundering problem simpler. Fix them on the rod so they can be pushed back and forth to let in more or less light. For a simple map!* room, use calico in grey or Mw with white- you >now those old dress fabrics with trie tiny sprigs.

Have a row of cartridge pleats at the top ibout a half inch deep and ten inches long . . . these pleats made with the double thickness of grnun- MUI aataen. On the back hang the curtain* with hooks on a rod. These would have to be dry cleaned Instead of washed of course, but they suggest tin idea for wirHknv.s that you'd like to h^<e some dignity without costing too much The English crowned a Scotch queen, and we're wear- ing plaids Even at our win- dows. We saw some white sheer curtain* made with ruffles tied bark with Scotch plaid hair- ribbon bows, ami finished at the top with a valance of the same Scotch plaid hair ribbon taffeta.

If they are so built that the Outside door cam be closed be- fore the Inside door is opened, they do a great deal of jrood. The amount of heat losses through a front door is great, and quite a lot can be prevent- ed by a vestibule.
