DRAPERY FOR THE PIANO,

Tne prettiest drapery for the baCk
Of an upright piano is some rich stuff,
brocade Or church embroidery, or a
piece of not too gaudy Eastern stuff.
Throw it over the top Of the piano and
let it fall straight over the back with
out rod or rings. If something thin
ner is used it should be hung. very
Fslightly fulled, on a fine wire or rod
that is made invisible. In the case Of
a simple material it Is better to choose
one not too foWery, letting its purpose,
that of ~concealing the unfinished back,
be freely seen. A IoW-backed sofa or
a table may stand in front of the
piano, preferably the latter, as a sofa
frame against the back is apt to pull
and disarrange the drapery. while the
use of the piano itself as a seat back
may interfere with the sound If not
actually injure the instrument. A
square piano is better undraped unless
a particularly choice piece Of rare stuff
is owned.
