A writer in the New York sun III
this connection says:
If you don't care to carry out this
plan in more than a room or two, there
are the Delhi nets and new tambour
muslins to fall back on for the other
windows. The net referred to is woven
of an Indian grass in two tones of green
or gray, with strand as large and
mesh almost as coarse as that employed
in making Mexican grass hammocks
The vast difference is that Delhi net is
exceedingly soft, and interviewer with
the vegetable fiber are bright silks or
colored beads. At windows or doors the
net must bang quite straight from small
brass rings encircling slender brass
pole.
For summer use the bead draperiCs
are usurping every doorway, shutting
out the ugly view Of the fireplace, and
hang very close against the sashes OF
windows to take the place Of holland
shades. Decorators employ them Law.
ishly because bead curtain is the
coolest and cleanest of all hangings.
They are not costly, they outlast any
woven goods, and AS they are now man.

Decorators are giving their allegiance
to the practice of draping " indOWs' this
season in green. Persons who can afford
to follow Il fad, therefore, are having one
of three things done-.he lower sasles
of nursery and bedroom windows are
being glazed with green glass or draped
in green Persian gauze, or having fixed

green. Equally MS high point of taste
is to have window all in green. Here
the loaded panes are pale green, the
founce curtains of Persian gauze, and
the drapery above of green Dutch mad
ras. Scarce handsome house this sum
mer but will have a green window
which will be the choice spot to read
and sew and lounge in. But whether a
window be green or not its pane cur
tains are very sure to be Of Persian
gauze, a sheer silken material that must
be made up perfectly plain, with hem,
and perhaps narrow green ribbon bor-
der on every breadth.
An oddly in window drapery, es-
pecially when the tambour muslin or
madras is used, is the new portiere
pole. 1t is either white enameled rod,
with brass rings and big brass spear
heads at either end, or of glass, with brass
rings. The glass poles ure slender and
have a greenish tinge Of color. Some of
the glass poles are finished with tassel
of little lusters that also ring out every
time the curtain is moved, while the
majority show cut ball ends or brass
warrior heads for knobs
