Modern decoration has intro

to sunlight, air, rain, dust, smoke

flying about, make city life very
hard on many of these materials.

The problem is made easier If

der well, reserving less durable
curtains 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 wash
ing for curtains of tougher fibers,
and more frequent dry cleaning
than is now common, for delicate
fabrics. Nothing is so fatal to the
wearing quality of any curtain as
to leave it dirty.
Cotton and linen are less easily
damaged by sunlight than silk.
