House & G a ret, 
The curtains at the right 
of plain green glazed chintz 
edged with narrow pleatings 
of mauve have a decorative 
valance of green pleated co- 
cardes against a plain mauve 
ground 
DECORATIVE 
NEW VALANCES 
Designed by 
CHANDLER W. IRELAND 
The pointed edges of peach 
colored satin curtain and 
valance above are picoled in 
green. 7 he valance is made 
with a French heading and 
long narrow tiebacks add a 
graceful note 
Charming for a young girl’s 
room are the curtains above 
turquoise taffeta with a val¬ 
ance of four pinked ruffles in 
turquoise, green, salmon and 
yellow with turquoise pom¬ 
poms 
Often it is inadvisable to 
cover the trim. In this case 
a looped valance of heavy 
red fringe hung from large 
dull gold nails is used over 
changeable red and gold taf¬ 
feta curtains
