  Some of the favored materials for glass-curtains are mercer- `
  ized and silk nets, marquisette, voile and scrim. They should _
  be held before a window in order that the effect of daylight may
  be seen before a selection is made. Cream or ecru curtains of
  firm texture harmonize with the formal furnishings of the living

When side walls are somewhat neutral in color and design, i ( T Z. T it

V most conditions, it is advisable to use draperies containing large g , .' " y 4 *‘ ‘  °  
_ tigures only in a spacious room and draperies with small figures g _ Q, ~_ ‘_ 4·  
 — in a room where there are several windows in proportion to the l . ·{ »    
i wall area. ’ t _ `_ .~ ` y ‘  
Plain draperies usually are desirable when the walls and , i ` .  
1 rugs are figured or when furniture is of mixed styles and figured _` _ A  
. upholstery is used. This is especially true when the room is i ` ,  
rather small. VVhen the walls are figured and a rich effect is i g  
_ desired, plain sun-fast velour for the lambrequin with striped »  
damask for side draperies produces a very pleasing combination. y ·   ` g  
Expensive materials should be used only with rich furnish- ' ’ . i  
ings while materials such as eretonnes, satines and easement p _ ,·  
cloth are suitable for draperies in rooms containing simple, in- _ Y  
expensive furnishings. V g  
{ Light-weight materials should be lined since much of their .  
beauty is lost thru the filtration of light. The lining should ` 1 `  
be of plain color and of about the same weight as the drapery. g _~  
a a Unbleached muslin makes a satisfactory lining for cretonne -_ _ .  
md draperies. The lining should be stitched with the top hem of _  
the drapery. The sides of the lining should be overhanded to   .  
61*- ` the sides of the drapery. The bottom hems of the lining should · T  
llfl _ be left loose. .  
lay Very heavy materials such as velour, velvets and some  
of damasks may be split into lengths that are 1S" wide. l\[ost ' g l

  for glass-curtains should be 36" wide when used at the average i
  sized windows which are about 34" wide. There should be two  .
  g lengths at a window. Pleasing window treatments can never  —
  be secured when the materials are skimped. It is always desir-
31 .   able, when money is limited, to use one of the inexpensive ma- i
  _..li terials and plenty of it, rather than a costly piece which must be Q
    split in order to make it go further. g
