. One great beauty of window hang
ings is the utter absence: eof stiffness.
Yet very full ruffles, unless they are
fairly stiff, are apt to drag heavily and
look like bunchednup material instead
of dropping into the pretty little jabot
effect that they should.
The fullness Al depends little, too,
upon whether the ruffle is to- be plated
or gathered into the. curtain. And, by
the way, ifvthe curtains are likely to be
done up frequently, gather these ruffles
rather than plaits them on-they re. so
much easier for the laundress to do up,
and look SO much better when done, for
the plating causes 'creases to streak the
whole ruffle--creases which, even a,skil-
full .ironer can only reduce In number,
not dispense with. z saa ,<3#qs&3 j
