FOUR WAYS TO 
DRAPE DRESS¬ 
ING TABLES 
If one is so fortunate as to possess 
paneled walls, gaily painted, the 
dressing table will be most effective 
draped in taffeta of some plain 
color. Here the graceful mirror 
provides another decorative note.

Shirrings of fine net headed with 
narrow French ribbon effectively 
trim the blue and pink shot taffeta 
flounce of this dressing table. The 
ruffled curtains are plain blue glazed 
chintz and the chair dull pink.

In a country house bedroom one 
might have such a dressing table 
as this with draperies of yellow 
organdie over a background of coral 
and yellow glazed chintz. The 
canopy effectively conceals the 
lights. Designed by Robert Locher
