ness of the fact that all parts of
the home must be considered rs
whole rebels at the hit and miss
aspect given to SO many of our
homes by having their window draperies
widely varied as seen from the street.
The curtains In different rooms 'neces-
sarily. are not In the same style or mate
rial and too often the result from the
exterior closely resembles n job lot while
the Interiors may each one be entirely
satisfactory. The living room may per-
haps be. furnished in Italian carved fur

The sample at the lower right side. also

Sundures. sunfasts, and other mercer
