New Ways in
 Curtain Effects

Curtains, like frocks, are becom- ing more feminine. Most welcome are the g-neglected curtain fringes, holdbacks and other finish ing touches. They give the sim plest curtains such 8 piquant air.
 Yellow organdy curtains, for in- stance, do not seem to be very original-but combine them with purple glass-grape shade pulls and they will immediately become different" And so do net curtains looped back and held by pair of those blue glass bridle buttons which have suddenly won favor.
 You may be skeptical about the results of combining two or three dge-finishes on one curtain, but wait until you see the effect. Ball fringe, for instance, may be used inside self ruffles or chintz points with pleating. Three-toned cord ing is also effective.
 Of the various fringes, ball and tassels in crystal, wood. cotton or silk, are the leading styles. For more formal draperies, matching fringe and cord holdbacks are now considered preferable.
 And the next time you get a chance, you must look at that straight chintz which Is printed so that 1t appears to be draped-Mc- ', Calls Magazine for February.
