Qorgeous Colored Draperies 
that do not fade in washing 
I SN’T it a joy to know that you can have your windows 
as gloriously decorated as you please with fabrics rich 
in color, and still feel that your choice is practical^ Orinoka 
has made this possible. You need not hesitate to select 
any fabric, no matter what its color or design, if you make 
your purchases from Orinoka materials, guaranteed to be 
sunfast and tubfast. Glass curtains of rose, or blue, or 
gold—or any other delicate tint—will wash without fad¬ 
ing. While over-draperies, however lovely they may be, 
also retain their color, through exposure to sun, or in 
washing. They should be laundered, of course, in the 
same way as a fine blouse, or any other handsome fabric. 
The beauty of Orinoka fabrics is the kind that lasts. 
And the secret is in the special Orinoka process of hand¬ 
dyeing the yarns before they are woven into cloth. Orinoka 
patterns are woven in, not printed on, and the colorings 
are permanent. This permanence of coloring is guaran¬ 
teed. If the fabric fades, the merchant is authorized to 
replace the goods, or refund your money. Orinoka Drap¬ 
eries and Curtain Gauzes, in great variety and for every 
type of window and house, are sold at the better depart¬ 
ment stores and smart decorating establishments.

(Continuedfrom page 110) 
vague his “someday” or “perhaps” may 
be, no man who builds his house, the 
home for himself and his family, with the 
thought of selling it and building another, 
can build a house of any character or 
individuality. He must keep within all 
the most ordinary conventions of the 
commonplace, “standard” house, or the 
future buyer will not like it. No greater 
travesty on building a home could well 
be enacted. 
Certain it is, that if a man builds a 
house for himself, and means it to be his 
home always, he will build so much of 
himself into it that no money could buy 
it from him. It will be full of personal 
expressions: if he is wise, much of the 
history of his growing family will be 
recorded in details and additions as the 
house grows old with him. 
English country houses are like that, 
and they are like that because they are 
not built to sell at a trifling profit to the 
first buyer who knocks at the door. 
A third essential of the English country 
house concerns itself with the deeper con¬ 
notation of that superficial thing called 
style. In England the style is deep- rooted 
in the traditions and precedent of the 
land, either locally or nationally. In this 
country, the English house must be trans¬ 
planted with the utmost care, and more 
real feeling for its racial meaning than 
generally exists. IMost often the living 
spirit of it goes in the transplanting, and 
the owner and his wife wonder why they 
thought that old house in Surrey was so 
ideally charming. In such cases the usual 
procedure is to blame it on the architect. 
The third essential is the essential of 
workmanship, or, more accurately in this 
application craftsmanship. Without a 
love for tools and materials, and for the 
results (for their own sake) of work well 
done, the actual superficial appearance of 
the English country house will always 
elude those of us who wish to build a like
