Effective Designs in Madras Cur

The new madras curtains are simply ex-
uuisite. The groundwork as rule is OF
a warm ecru tint, scattered with figures
of floral effects in most artistic colorings.
Instead of the deep border being on the
bottom OF the curtains it is used as a
frieZe, a great Improvement over the old
style. Few persons notice the ends of
curtains so why should not the decora-
ton be placed in conspicuous position? ?
Then, too the sunlight sitting through
such beautiful colorings casts a glow
about the room.
