Curtain Fabrics That Launder Well.
Breathes there a woman with fing:
ers pricked from the annual martyr-
dom of curtain stretching. who has not
vowed, year after year, to emancipate
herself forever from the thraldom of
drapery -materials which, refuse to
hang to the queen's taste unless they
emerge, straight and crisp, from cur-
tain stretchers?
• Textile manufacturers, quick to
sense the requirements of the modern
housekeeper, have placed on the mar-
ket fascinating fabrics in various
weaves which wash and iron as easily
and successfully as handkerchief linen.
These materials range, in design and
texture, from the coarse filet nets, so
frequently employed by interior decor-
ators, to the sheerest film of lace
suitable for close -fitting glass cur-
tains. By. careful shopping and wise
selection the woman who must econ-;
min in time and energy. can, there-;
fore, easily eliminate curtain ma-
terials which must be stretched with -1
out detracting from either the beauty
ow suitability of her drapery fabrics.1
While it is possible to purchase ready-
made curtains that will iron satisfac-
torily, there is a decided advantage in;
buying goods by the yard, since the
choice of materials • is infinitely
greater.
Among the materials one may al-,
ways be sure of are voile, marquisette,'
art muslin, English casement clotle;
printed linen, fine Swiss, silk gauze,
•Georgette crepe and the various spe-
cial weaves made for the purpose by
manufacturers who bestow upon them
their own trade -marked names.
