DRAPERY IN HOUSE
HOW BEST RESULTS MAY BE
OBTAINED.
Too Many or Too Heavy Hangings
Apt to Spoil the Good Effects
Good Arrangement for the
Dark Room.

Too much drapery is apt TO make
the rooms close and stuffy, and par
ticuIarly when there is not a large
space and the room is not very well
lighted, and one must be careful not TO
produce a cramped effect by shutting
out the light For a mOdeTate-sized
room with a folding door which leads
into another apartment and is of
course permanently closed, good ar
rangement can be made without using
too heavy drapery. Instead of pair
of portieres hung on a rod and falling
In Eeayy folds, take the material and
stretch it across the doors. fastening
it even with the door, without the rod,
more like a panel effect.
When the Material Is Plain.
If the material be plain and not bro
cade or tapestry it can be draped
slightly or laid in folds like box plaits
and fastened in the center of the plat
with a stud or brass tack This will
give the material a sufficient amount
OF fuIIness and do away with the stiff
ness of stretching plain material tight
| IL over doors II one happens to
| possess a mirror in a gold frame or an
! Old colonial heirloom in wood. the ef-
/ feet is particularly good if the mirror
is hung against this background and
a diyan placed beneath it with the
| cushions of the soft shade which cor
responds with the colorings of your
/ room, and the diYan cover either
matching the drapery Of the door or of
a shade which is in harmony with 1t.
Arrangement for Dark Room.
An effect OF this kind seen recently
in a rather dark room was excellent,
but the background in this case was
rather more elaborate and consisted
besides the fiat piece of velvet over
the door, of a top piece. This piece
which was separate, was made OF q
/ thin board of about six inches in
depth. which was fastened at the tor
OF the door and also covered with vel
vet, with the edge trimmed with &
dull gold braid like a lambrequin
while the folds Of the curtain witt
the brass studs in the center Of The
folds fell from just below this piece
The edge of the diVsn cover was o
the same material and was trimmed
with the same gold braid, and th'
mirror was gilt one Of a rOcOco de
sign.
As the room was rather dark, tht
cushions selected were Of the lighte
shades Of brocade- in soft greens, yel
lows and old rose. and the result wit

it is not of the finest weave and de-

in this same way by putting the tapes

a mirror on il. A diyan under the
mirror or 4 deep sofa neaped with
cushions is always attractive, and very
good effects may be obtained in the
