WINDOW CURTAINS

Friction from even careful wash
ing will cause a rendered fabric to
disintegrate Any textile material
Cotton, rayon, mohair, nylon, etc
will eventually be affected.
Fabrics are rendered by light, sun
and dirt combined with atmospher-
ic gases. Even the strongest tex
tiles cannot endure the combination
of light and gases.
No data are available on the life
expectancy of curtains. Some have
been in continuous use for 10 and
u years while others have been I'M
satisfactory after year at the win
dows. Those who live in the coun-
try or an outlying city district find
that their curtains last much longer
than those in a downtown apart
inent.
Here is a suggestion for making
window curtains last twice as long.
Since the weakened portion is al
ways where the light strikes, why
not turn the curtains end for end
before they become weakened on the
lower part? Curtains can be made
so that they are reversible. In fact
there are some On the market made
this way. And, even ruffled cur
tains can be made interchangeable.
If the lining of draperies drops to
pieces, don't blame your cleaner.
And the Grapes are not protected
where the fold On the edge is ex-
posed. If the draperies have been
made very full, they may be cut
down more than once, removing the
faded and weakened portions. This
is done in some of the better hotels
and clubs.
There are new materials imper-
vious to the action of sun and gases.
