1FhiS New School Gives
instruction in Window
Dressing.

| WRITTEN FOR THE SUNDAY REPUBLIC.
One Of the most curious Of all the schools
| for specialists has recently been founded to
teach the Elusive art Of window draping.
The Institute" as it is called, is unique
| In the method OF teaching
Not only does 1t have its classes in win
dow draping work with actual windows built
| in the walls Of its largo schoolrooms. but it
! also teaches boys all over the United States
and Canada by means of photographs and
| letters in a sort of correspondents school.
Its graduates receive a diploma and are
much sought after by the shop owners of
| the country.
1t goes into the business deeply and
] teaches sevsnty-five different methods alone
| of folding handkerchiefs
Three years ago there was no place for
one to learn how to become a window spe-
cialist. II one drlfted into the window trim
ming business one did go by way Of some
small opening in a store. and progress was
| necessarily slow. although the storekeepers
were anxiously looking for competent men.
PRELIMINARY EXERCISES.
Throughout the whole science Of dscora-
ton the superiority in the beauty of curved
lines over straight ones is recognized. and
| therefore window decorator must learn to
mako scrolls.
These when finished serve to make arch
| ways and frames. which when decorated
with flags or flowers or draped with bunting
make fine background. To make his
scrolls a window decorator must FIRST be an
artist and draw his design in paper the size
he wants the finished object to be-
Then he cuts the paper out and pastes II
upon wood. after which he becomes a car
penter with circular saw and cuts out the
curves he has drawn. When they are fin
ished he erects them in his window and pro-
ceeds to cover the bare wood with some
kind of cloth, puckering It and gathering in
the pleats like a true decorator, even weav-
ing in artificial flowers.
The floor Of the window must also be
covered, and there are many ways to do it.
One is to make a tile floor of paper. 1t is
great deal Of work to cut out the paper
squares. but the effect is worth all the time
it takes.
When this II done tho back and side walls
are appropriately draped. Tho window II

!. Ono Of the nrst things that q window
draper must know II how to stretch piece
OF paper or cheese cloth over q framework
He uses 1t continually in building back
grounds Unless you stretch It all out OF
| shape. 1t is pretty difficult to make the
cheesecloth lie without a wrinkle
But 1t is easy il you know how. and there
1s way to do 1t. even pleating 1t as you 20
along.
One Of the interesting things a draper
learns is "roping.'
He, begins work BY cutting crepe paper
| into strips. using large pair Of shears and
, cutting through several thicknesses of the
roll Of paper at once. The strips are about
inches wide. according to the thickness of
the rope desired
The strips are then twisted in a narrow
rope after the manner Of q long lamp
lighter.
1t generally takes two men. one at each
end. If the rope be long. to do the twisting.
by crumpling UP the ends about a lead PEN
Gil and twisting in opposite directions,
using the pencil as a lever. When a similar
rope Of another color paper has been SINH
larry made the two ropes are twisted to-
gether until they like like a BARRIERS pole.
DISTRIBUTION OF woRkMEN.
Almost every department store in New
York has six or more windows for showing
its wares and q foyer or main aisle richly
decorated.
In the aisle there may be fountain play
ing briskly and throwing its water in fine
spray almost to the ceiling. Or there ma v

volving under the impulse of real stream

Or in a dark corner Of the store there NAV
be fairy bower OF red. white and blue cleo

and showing through the leaves like the
stars of a summer night. The electrician
and the horticulurist is the window Gecora-
tor. In the windows there may be draw

rich mans house.
Costly furniture stands in its proper
places. The wall is papered with crimson
paper and hung with expensive pictures.
The painter and paperhanger is the interior
decorator. Or there may be in another win

fligree work in gold and white. decorated

sponsible for all the rest.
MUCH EXPERIENCE REQUIRED.
There is absolutely nothing which a youth
can do with tools from a carpenters wood
saw to sign painters pen, that. this
Jack does not find useful In his profess
sion.
He buil5s up his backgrounds for showing
his stuff in his window, and then, II the
material be ladies' drcss goods, he must
manage the fabrics. without cutting or in
juring them, so as to represent the latest
styles in the lady's tailor's art
