o 
CURTAIN 
{Left) What could be 
more dainty for the 
country house than the 
old-fashioned dotted 
swiss or net curtains P 
These have a quaint 
touch in the ruffles of 
varying sizes, all edged 
with an odd little ball 
fringe. Miss M. A. 
Lewis was the decorator

BINDINGS 
{Right) For silk cur¬ 
tains a double row of 
diamond-shaped, picot- 
edged fluting in two 
colors. Under row a 
deep rose, top row same 
shade as curtains — a 
delicate fawn. A great 
variety of color combi¬ 
nations is possible. Miss 
M. A. Lewis, decorator 
Ecru colored net gathered into a 6" 
band of crocheted filet insertion makes 
this glass curtain. The weight of the 
insertion keeps the curtain in place 
One of the most delightful 
boudoirs we ever saw was 
done with mauve as a color 
basis. The curtains were 
deep cream taffeta with a 
puffing of the mauve taffeta 
and caught back in this 
fashion. The treatment is 
possible in many pleasing 
color combinations 
Bind chintz curtains with 1J4" 
piping of silk the shade of the 
chintz you wish to have predomi¬ 
nate. Miss M. A. Lewis, decorator 
{Below) Heavy linen curtains 
embroidered with wool or a 
strong mercerized linen thread. 
All black designs on deep yellow 
For the formal drawing 
room, the dignity of this 
window treatment is unde¬ 
niable. Heavy leaf green 
taffeta edged with a black 
and green 2" silk fringe. 
Inner curtains of thin silk 
with a self tone tassel to 
give weight and interest
