The Interior Finish and Furnishing of the Small House 
THE PASSING OF JIG-SAW WORK AND GRILL FROM THE WOOD TRIM 
was used as the lining. These curtains were 
made, as were all door curtains throughout 
the house, without interlining, and the edges 
closely stitched in several rows as a finish. 
No cord or guimp was introduced, they were 
run by a loose casing at the top on the cur¬ 
tain pole. 1 he first hanging of these cur¬ 
tains had been from rings; these, however, 
were soon discarded for the other arrange¬ 
ment, as the folds under this treatment were 
more accurate, and there was no sagging. 
Dull green raw silk, almost pastel in shade, 
was used for the curtains at the casement 
windows, these were run on a rod set close 
to the glass, and finished with a three inch 
hem. The window seats, of which there 
were two, were upholstered in the tapestry, 
as was one large winged chair, which was 
invitingly placed near the reading-table. 
Carefully chosen and beautiful Oriental
