This rich curtain form requires either
outer side curtains of lace or val
ance and side panel or full side drap-
cries of damask or brocade or -ether
equivalent fabric. The bonnie femme
curtain should be shirred over brass
rod which must be set next to the
window and under the shade Inc
sockets for the rods require TO be
screwed to each side of the window
frame, as high as possible, so that the
rod may not be visible from the out
side. The method of hanging all lace
panels, whether double or single, is
the same as that described for the
bonnie femme. The usual foundations
for the latter are ecru or cream BruS-

center motif and insertions OF ap-

brush much used in this country is an
improvement, but even this is out of

about the propriety of sending cable
