DESIGNS IN DRAPERIES

WIVES A WIDE CHOICE.
For Summer Curtains, Goodness and

ant-Cretonne or ChIntz Sash
Are the Present Favorltes.

The city housekeeper who must stay
In town all umner does not bother
with draperies. Her sole need is air
and II she be sensible she sticks to
undraped windows and doors. For

ever, ~curtaining is all important.
Never has the choice OF these been
wider or more artistic than this sea
son, and the who must recur-
tain her house or furnish a new one
Is to be enyied.
In selecting ummer curtains two
things are important: The fabrics
chosen must be cool and fresh looking
and they must be washable. Heavy
draperies are inartistic, because they
are inappropriate. This eliminates
brocades, silks and sstins, yelvets and
wool.
In curtaining = summer house
choose nothing that will be ruined by
open windows. Where double cur
tains are used they should b easily
manipulated on the rods.
Unless a bedroom has plenty OF win
dows double curtains should not be
used. Some houssheepsrs prefer the
cretonne or chints sash curtains.
These hang to the sill and work looss-
ly on rods. While they shut out more
air than the net or lace curtain they
darken a roo better. and II properly
hung can be pushed into small com
pass at night.
There il a fancy now for the val
ance across the top OF the window
This may be a teninch ruf1e run on

ance Is enjoying quito a revival.
