What can be done to brighten
and add the smartness that they
need? Certain interior decorators
answer with curtains and draper
les. They say that to a great ex-
tent successful interior decorating
depends on the type Of drapery
chosen and the way it is hung.
It not only changes the appar-
ent size Of the room but intro.
duces new notes Of color. If the
ceiling is too high or low, the win
dowS Of different shape and size,
and the groupings awkward, you
can resort to maneuvers with win
dow treatment to bring harmony
to any off-balance room.
First Purpose
To be fundamental, this is not
the first duty of successful win
dow treatment. The use of drapes
and curtains really is to regulate
the amount of light that comes
into the room. But, in performing
this, many sorts of interesting
color and space relationships can
be used.
In the first place, the glass cur
tains from the background for the
draperies during winter months
that is, unless Venetian blinds are
used. There are three popular
lengths for the glass curtains. The
newest is to have them practically
touching the floor.
The more conservative is sill
length and apron length. The sill
length means just to the sill. and
the apron length is to the end of
the piece Of wood underneath the
sill.
The selection of the drapery and
The Washington times., 1936-11-14

First of all, decide on your color.
The walls of the bedroom, let us
say, are a dusty pink. The wood
work is antique ivory. There are
chintz draperies at the windows
which have a floral pattern in the
fabrics combining deep rose, blue
green and a accent Of robins egg
blue. The rug is a blue green.
You may decide to repeat in the
chair the antique ivory or the
CLINT of robins egg blue and then
the fun begins.
Tools Needed
Put on old clothes and shoes.
No matter how careful you are
there is always the chance you
may be splashed with paint.
Then choose an undisturbed
spot for applying the paint. A
place where you can leave the
chair after applying a coating and
will not have to clean up after
each session. 1t should be spot
where the light is good.
If you live in an apartment
where space is limited, be careful
to keep your painting material
away from flames-even the pllot
light of a gas stove.
Have at hand much sandpaper,
plenty of rags, turpentine, a pad
die to stir the paint, your coating
materials, and a brush. ,
Before you start, be sure tnat
the chair is clean. Scrub 1t well
with a mild solution OF Washing
soda and a brush so that no dirt
or dust of any kind remains. Then
let it dry carefully before you
begin to paint.
Stir the paint carefully so that
the pigment coloring will be well
distributed through the liquid.
Take the brush, dip into the
paint, and work it back and forth
over papers to remove any loose
bristleS.
Start the painting by turning
the chair upside down and doing
the lower part first. This will save
stopping and make it easier to see
how the paint looks as it goes on.
When you have finished the legs
and lower rungs, set the chair
right side up and finish the job.
The Washington times., 1936-11-14

In between coatings, allow
plenty of time for the paint 70
dry. Then sandpaper the surface
with a fine grade Of paper ana
dust off the chair.
There will be complete dlrec-
tions on the can for using the
paint with instructions on now
many coats will be needed to gain
a finish that will look and wear
well.
Choice of COlors
If YOU want the finish dull IN"
stead of glossy, rub the surface
after the last coat has dried, with
pulverized pumice stone and water.
If robins egg blue is the COLOR
an antique glaze would be grand
to give a soft rich effect. Raw
umber or a mixture Of raw and
burnt umber gives this finish. Ap-
nly the antiquing more heavily in
corners or grooves than on the flat
surfaces, then carefully wipe away
with soft rags leaving traces just
where you wish them.
Important to it is to know the
direction for applying the paint:
1t should first be stroked back and
forth with the grain of the WOOD
then across the grain and finally
with the grain again.
If your chair has never been
finished before it will be necessary
to apply a coating of wood filler
or Shellac to fill the pores OF the
wood and prevent the paint from
sinking in.
Painting furniture is loads OF
fun and when you have finished
you have a piece of furniture that
is ready to take an honored place
in the household.

the method of hanging it is the
true test of the homemaker's ar
tistic instinct. The selection Of
materials depends to a large ex-
tent on the period of furniture
and the color combinations used
IN the room. For the English
Eighteenth Century rooms which
are being done so eXquisitely this
season, they may be Of printed
linen, chintz, or brocade, for Early
American homespun, chintz, or
print.
Modern rooms make use of the
brocade, mohair, or rayon. AL
drapes are hung floor lenth ex-
cept in the kitchen, breakfast
room, and bathroom.
For the room that is darker
than usual, sheer draperies con-
tinue to be popular. This means
that several tints of color are used
for each drapery and they are
hung over the glass curtains to
provide a soft colorful gosSamer
effect at the windows. Sheer green
in a deep shade could be used on
the outside with center draper1es
of a lighter shade Of the green.
CelIOphane
Cellophane is also popular for
this purpose. It has more personal.
ity and character than the usual
sheer materials.
For the room that needs special
drapery treatment to bring its
size to normalacy, there are many
interesting treatments. Vertical
lines can be used to make the win
dows look taller. Stripes can be
used or blocked linen of a definite
up swing. Narrow inconspicuouS
corniceS or valanceS should be
used above the window trim with
the side draperies swung to the
floor in long straight corrugated
style.
The long narrow window may
be made to seem smaller by draw
ing the draperieS as far apart as
possible. A wide valance can be
used to shorten the space. The
valance can be shaped, shirred,
accordion pleated and box pleated.
If the material is heavy, they are
best left plain and shaped at the
lower edge.
The homespun materials and
plain hand blocked linens can be
