TREATING A window with
curtains and draperies is an es-
sential step in the decoration OF
this part of the rooms back
ground, but it is not the whole
story.
Too often the most carefully
thought out drapery treatment
is ruined by what is put in front
of the window after 1t is draped.
The Great Truth
1t is the one great truth OF
interior decoration. that no unit
of a room is complete unto IL
self. but must complement the
balance OF the scheme.
Thus, your windows should be
dressed with one eye on the wall
decoration and the other eye on
the arrangement OF furniture IN
the room.
CIassifieetions
There are. generally speaking.
three ciaSSificationS OF this sub
ject: The rooms where furniture
must. because of limited space.
be placed directly in front of
w n dows; the rooms where
windows may be left entirely TO
their own devices. not serving
as background for furniture;
and the rooms where il is deco
ratively smart 10 deliberately
employ the window as a back
ground 10 enhance a piece of
furniture.
Two Rules
In the case of the small room,
where the worry is how To keep
from blocking the windows en-
tirely with furniture. bear in
mind two helpful rules:
Avoid using furniture TOO
heavy for the size Of the room.
4 lovescat will not oVerwhelm a
window before which il must
stand. whereas sofa frequently
does.
A properly scaled Hanback,
chair, or "A small wing. viii not
blot out a window as uthlessly
as Wide-Spreading barrel char
or a massive lounge chair.
Whenever possible. utilize
the space beneath the window.

Consider Walls. Furniture
When Planning Draperies
BY WILLIAM X. CLARKE

true where a bookcase or cab
met is used.
Instead of taking up a full
wall space for a tall bookcase,
leave this area for a sofa, per-
haps, and select a long low
case TO fit neatly beneath the
window.
In this way you are making
the architectural disadvantages
Of the room become decorative
advantages.
Breathing Space
When YOU have sufficient
room space 10 permit the win
dows full freedom, do so. 1t is
healthy decoration 10 leave
breathing space in your ar
rangement.
When you have such windows,
curtain them TO the floor with
sheer material. Such curtain
ing adds dignity 10 the window
and charm to the room.
Where the window is en-
ployed as decorative backdrOp
for a piece Of furniture. the ef-
feet is invariably one of formal
ity. Do not use this treatment
unless you are seeking a room
essentially formal and re-
strained in feeling.
Suggestions

one or two suggestions for this

 London said there was Q posslbil. lty that e last minute Finnish mes- sage to Britain, transmitted by way of Washington, might delay the war declaration.
 Russia was said to have advised London that she regards the war declaration as Q test of Britain's sincerity in the Anglo-Russian al. hance.
