Shades for the windows of a
house should not be'selected until
the color of the interior decorations
and the surroundings have been
fully considered. Glaring colors
like bright blues and green's are
apt to be as disagreeable inside as
on the outside. Plain white avn
ings are found toss::look better after
the second year than faded striped
ones.
Paint, however old and dry it
may be, can be removed from car
pets or draperies by a liberal use
of chloroform. Saturate the spot,
keep it closely covered for half an
hour, then brush out. The liquid
destroys the oil in the paint, leav-
ing only a powder that usually
comes out, with no stain unless on
very delicate fabrics. In obstinate
cases, the application may need to
be repeated several times.
