Of fabrics into the home. Ex.
posture to sunlight. air, rain. dust,
smoke and the fine grit which is
always flying about make city life
very hard on many Of these ma
terials. How to keep them clean
and prolong their life and useful
ness is one Of the many problems
of modern housekeeping.
The problem IL made easier II
one selects for those windows
where greatest exposure to wealth

stand it best and which launder
well, reserving less durable cur.
tains for less exposed places.
Keeping all curtains as clean as
possible all of the time actually
increases their wear. This may
mean increased frequency OF
washing for curtains Of tougher
fibers, and more frequent dry
cleaning than is now common for
delicate fabrics. Nothing is 80
fatal to the wearing quality OF
any curtain as to leave 1t dirty.
Cotton and linen are less easily
damaged by sunlight than silk.
silk, particularly when soiled, Is
very sensitive to the action Of
sunlight and in laundering, to
friction and to strong soaps con-

Rayon curtains when wet lose
much of their tensile strength.
When dry this strength is largely
Regained, but any mechanical
