WINDOW DRAPERY
Practical Hints on Selection
and Artistic Arrangement

In selecting window curtains and
draperies for the home, the following
suggestions might be proftably adopt
ed:
The natural advantages peculiar to
each room frequently suggest a basis
for decorative scheme, and in plan
ming for II too much stress cannot be
laid upon the importance Of this pre-
liminary survey. for plans are some
times suggested which have TO be con.

Where festoon drapery is to be ar.
ranged. II Is a good idea TO have the
dTapery salesman or decorator sketch
designs on paper, which should ad.

portions and other furnishings OF the

paper exactly the effect desired before
cutting into the material. From my
personal experience have found this

plan.

which she selects for her windows

and yet may not be becoming to her

usually enough new things to suit all
styles Of architecture and furnishings,

these vital points when making a Sc.
