Further objectsof this invention are to proyide afwindow screen which has slidlng glass panels which may be arranged in overhomes, or other i lapping relation, if desired, or which, may

be slid as required to direct the draft wherever needed, and which also may he slid outwardly to the ends of the'screen to pro v tect the curtains from dust and from damage against'the screens.

7 An embodiment-of the invention is shown r in the accompanying drawings in which:

Figure l is a view of a window with parts broken away showing the screen in place;

' Figure 2 isa sectional View on the line 2-2 of'Figure. l; I 'Figure 3 is a sectional view on the hue 3-3 of Figure 2; v

a Figure a is an enlarged sectional detail showing a modified form.

Referring to the drawings, it will be seen 1 that the screen comprises a frameworkhaw ing an upper and lower memberindicated by the reference characters 1 and 2,;and hav ing side members 3.' A screen lis stretched across thisframework and is secured in any we suitable manner. For instance, the screen handles or projections 11 cemented thereto" or otherwise secured.
