too, are brought into requisition for
the screen.
The lower part Of the screen should
be covered with striped cretonne
drawn perfectly smooth and tackled in
to position with fancy brass headed
nails, which are driven through an or
namental braid. Embroidered panels
worked in linen in colors to harmonic
with the lower part of the screen are
sometimes tackled above. In other
cases stamped panels take their place.
One Of the modern ideas in screen
building is the use of panes Of glass in
the upper half of the frame. In this
way the light is allowed to pass
through, while the glass forms an eff
fectual barrier against drafts.
