These, if properly grouped, add that touch of refinement which is the true art of home-making. One of the most important of these smaller items is the window curtaining. Perhaps no other one thing offers such a wide scope for the exercise of good taste within the limits of moderate cost. For the beauty and charm of your curtains lie not so much in their intrinsic value, but in the design and discernment with which they are draped. POINTS TO BE CONSIDERED In choosing the materials and determining the style of hanging for your windows, several points must be considered. The architecture of the win¬ dow is important; so also is the interior decoration of the room. If the room is dark the curtaining must let in daylight. If there is a flood of sunlight, it will be necessary to tone down the glare. A window directly on the street or commanded by the windows of near neighbors must be screened to secure privacy without excluding light. There are appropri¬ ate styles for living-rooms, others for dining-rooms, still others for bed¬ rooms, the latter including a number of designs that make attractive bed covers. It is to assist in the solution of such problems that this volume has been prepared. It is not within our province to put forth definite instructions as to what is correct and proper for all types of windows. Personal taste must always, to a great extent, be the governing factor. In these pages the attempt has been rather to illustrate the general types of windows, and to suggest for each the general approved method of curtaining and draping. Obviously, it is impossible to show every variety of design and texture in the line of Scranton Laces and Lustre Fabrics. The better stores every¬ where, have however, the complete Scranton Line of Fringed Panels and Pair Goods, Maid-O-Net Curtains, Filet and Shadow Nets, Lustre-Lace, Lustre Marquisette, Lustre Tafetta and Lustre Bedspreads. Scranton Fabrics are all unqualifiedly gauranteed. You can depend on their being properly made, in correct style, and moderately priced. Bet¬ ter Laces and Lustre Fabrics are not made. The Scranton Label on each Curtain is for your protection and is your guarantee. Three The Entrance Hall LUSTRE MARQUISETTE No. 700 Made in 36 inch and 48 inch widths in eleven colors OVERDRAPE No. 800 Made 46 inches in width in ten colors N MANY of the modern homes the modified Colonial doorway is used. This presents windows on either side of the doorway. In the treatment illustrated the Scranton Lustre Marquisette is used for window and door curtain. The door curtain is held taut at top and bottom by 3-8" brass rods. They are finished at top and bottom with 1" heading above a 1" casing. Seventy-five percent fullness is allowed. The Lustre Marquisette window curtains are finished at the top with a 1" heading above a 1" casing. A pair is used at the window. They fall to the sill. These illustrated are bound at the bottom and center side with taffeta ribbon. Many different edgings and trimmings may be used. Much originality may be gained when individual curtains are made for individual rooms that is impossible to attain in a stock curtain. The Lustre Marquisette comes in many colors and in two widths, 36" and 48". The overhangings are of the Scranton Lustre Plain Taffeta. This is a new material and is 46" wide. The striped taffeta is also very attractive and may be had in several charm¬ ing color combinations. Five Six The Stairway Window LUSTRE-LACE FILET FRINGED CURTAIN No. 16046 Made 2 % yards long by 30 inches wide in silver and gold. OVERDRAPES No. 801 46 inches wide in ten colors OR the small regulation window that is often placed on the first landing of the stairway,the arrange¬ ment of glass curtains and draper¬ ies should be the same as those in the living room if the stairway opens directly into it. If not, they may be different but they should harmonize in line and color. The quality and texture of the Filet Lustre Lace Curtain is particularly adaptable to small windows. The patterns are small and attractive, the mesh is square and the lus¬ trous weave gives the curtain a soft and airy appearance. These curtains are 234 yards long and hang to the sill. The only sewing that is necessary is a loose casing at the top when the correct measurement is taken. The draperies are of Scranton Striped Lustre Taffeta which come in various color com¬ binations. They are lined and hung with rings which hook on the valance board as shown on sketch “A." They are draped back with tie-backs of the same material. These are cut to pattern, interlined with crinolin and lined. Small hooks are sewn about an inch from the ends, these hook on drapery hooks which are fastened into the side trim. The shaped valance is made over buckram and lined, finished at the bottom edge with fringe and top edge with a small tape; see sketch “B,” and is tacked to a flat wooden board which is covered with the same lining as the draperies and is fastened on the wooden trim with brackets; see sketch “E.” Seven - ■■ Eight The Man’s Den LUSTRE-LACE FRINGED CASEMENT CURTAIN No. 16175 Made 2jff yards long by 43 inches wide. Yard goods to match is available under Nos. 16263. Both are finished in sil¬ ver and gold. IMPLICITY of arrangement and comfort are man’s prime requi¬ sites in interior decorations. A chair of ease, a pipe, a book and light regulated comfortably without too much effort. The three regulation windows provide the light. The small mesh Lustre-Lace Case¬ ment curtains, diffuses it slightly robbing it of any glare it might have. The light roller shades further regulate it to taste and pro¬ vide privacy while the straight hung over¬ curtains suggest simplicity and manishness. The Lustre-Lace Casement curtains are fin¬ ished at the top with a one inch heading above a one inch casing. They hang straight to the sill, a pair to each window, and for those who prefer making their own curtains this Lustre-Lace also comes by the yard. The yard goods to match the Lustre-Lace Casement curtains may also be happily used in the same room on French and glass doors. The overdraperies may be made to draw or they may not and are finished at the top with a four inch pinch pleated heading. At the back of the pleats rings are sewn which slide easily on a half inch brass rod which carry the overhangings. Double rods are used as in sketch “A". The sketch shows a treatment where the three windows are draped as a group. In this instance the overdraperies do not draw, though the full width is used in each hang¬ ing. Nine Ten French Doors and Inswinging Casements PLAIN FILET NET No. 16650 Made 36 inches wide; under No. 13339—46 inches wide. The colors are ivory and natural. ITTLE variety can be employed in draping French doors or inswing¬ ing casements. If they are to be operated with ease, the nets must be held firmly in place at top and bottom by small round or flat brass rods. If the doors open on a street or garden the net covers the entire door. If, however, they merely open into another room, the upper panes of glass may be left bare. The top rod is placed on the wooden frame work between the first and second panes of glass. A plain filet net or an inconspicuous pattern is most interestingly used on doors and win¬ dows of this type. These are made in two widths, 36" and 46". In these fine nets a 75 to 100 percent fulness should be allowed. On French doors and casements measure¬ ment should be taken about 1" either side of glass, top and bottom. This includes a 1" casing but not the 1" heading that is added top and bottom. The rod should take up just enough material to make the cur¬ tain quite taut. The overhangings on the French doors add color to the room and insure privacy when it is desired. They are made to draw. As material is not so heavy, the 3" French heading is lined with paper cambric which stiffens the top and is finished with ljd>" pinch pleats. French heading hooks are sewn at the back of the pleats. Inswinging case¬ ments are treated in the same manner. Eleven Twelve Triple Outs winging Casements LUSTRE MARQUISETTE CASEMENT CURTAIN No. 2116 Made 2 % yards long by 34 inches wide. Also 44 inches wide under No. 2115. The colors are Maize, Sand, Gold and Champagne. Yard goods to match. No. 700 HE sunroom has become so a part of our modern American home that it may almost be called the nucleus of American architecture. We may some day evolve an American style. If so, there is little doubt that the room of windows will head a very impor¬ tant place. The triple outswinging casements form a group and are treated as such in this sun- room. As it is a town house, being directly on the street, glass curtains of Lustre Mar¬ quisette are hung from one of a set of double rods. They are finished with a 3" fringe and fall just to the sill. A pair of curtains 44" wide are used on each window, as the window space to be covered is wide. These curtains may be had also in the 34" width for narrow windows. They are hung from rings sewn at the top so that they may be drawn back easily when desired. Rings are also sewn at the top of the overhanging and are drawn through the operation of a small pulley, see diagram “D”. This Lustre Marquisette can also be had by the yard in two different widths in various solid color casement effects. The overhangings which take the place of shades are hung from the outside rod of the double fixture as in diagram “A” and they are lined. When lining overhangings, care must be taken to have the lining full so there is no possibility of its pulling. The bottom is left open, the overhangings and the lining being hemmed separately. They are often more satisfactory if made by hand. The pleated valance measures 12" wide and is made to extend over each group of win¬ dows. This valance is lined and then pinch pleated. A tape is sewn to the top of the valance which in turn is tacked to a board, see diagram “C ”, which is placed on the trim of the window and held there by brackets. The valance is finished with a fringe. Thirteen Fourteen Groups of Windows S'Si INDOWS that are placed in groups of two or three are often most at¬ tractive when they are simply draped. They afford an excellent opportunity to use a simple combination Lustre Lace casement curtain. These Lustre Combination nets are admira¬ ble for casement windows of all kinds and may be had by the yard for French doors and inswinging casements. The curtains and overhangings illustrated are carried by double 3-8" brass rods. The glass curtains are hung from the inside rod and overdraperies from the outside. CASEMENT CURTAINS OF LUSTRE-LACE No. 16150 Made 2 yards long by 38 inches wide. Yard goods to match No. 16265. Both come in silver and gold colors. The Lustre Lace casement curtain is finished at the top with a 1" heading above a 1" casing. They fall to the sill. Measurements for glass curtains should be taken from the top of the flat trim at the top of the window to the sill. The rod will take up about 1-2" of material which will allow a 1-2" sweep of the sill when the curtains are hung. The sketch shows the treatment on casement windows with the curtains drawn back.

Living Room Windows That Invite Sunshine LUSTRE-LACE CURTAIN No. 16074 Made 2 34 yards long by 40 inches wide. Also made 48 inches wide under No. 16080. Yard goods in these widths Nos. 16274 and 1627 5 respec¬ tively. All come in gold and silver colors HE large expanse of double and single casements is broken by the soft folds of Scranton Lustre Lace. Its golden tones catch the sun¬ light as it filters through its meshes and gives a glow of cheerfulness to the room. The glass curtains hang straight and full to the sill, a pair to each window. The 48" width is used at the center casement and the 40" width at the narrow ones and they are finished at the top with a 1" heading above a 1" casing. This Lustre Lace comes by the yard in two different widths for those pre¬ ferring to make their own curtains. The overdraperies take the place of shades and are made to draw. They hang to the bottom of the wooden trim and are lined and finished at the top with 2" pinch pleats at the back of which are sewn French head¬ ing hooks. The treatment showing a valance shaped to conform with the bay is sketched. If the valance is used the draw curtains hang from the rods by rings sewn at the top of the drap¬ ery as shown in “A”. The gathered valance hangs from a wooden cornice painted white to correspond with the woodwork. The val¬ ance is bound with a taping at the top which is tacked on the back of the cornice. Three inches are added to the measured width of the window taken from the outer edge of the wood trim. This amount is subtracted from the width of the material, then the re¬ maining amount is divided into 5 or 7 parts, which form the pinch plaits. The first plait is taken about 3" from the side edges. Hooks or rings however must be sewn at least an inch from the edge to hold it in place. Seventeen '.V 'w Eighteen Groups of Double Casements in the Sun-Room SCRANTON FRINGED PANEL No. 16163 Made 2% yards by 42 inches wide. Plain top with bottom border de¬ sign. Finished in natural color only. T IS important in a sunroom that the windows be curtained to per¬ mit good ventilation. Too, rooms of this character may be treated in a more individual and less conservative manner than can be more formal living rooms. Both of these points were held in mind in choosing the open meshed medallion effect fringe curtain. The curtain with its wide mesh admits the sunlight and air while its patterned border repeats the design of figured cretonne overhangings. Double round brass rods are fastened to the top of the wooden trim see “A.” The inside rod carries the glass curtain and the outer rod the draperies. The glass curtains fall straight to the sill and are finished at the top with a 1" heading above a 1" casing. The draperies fall to the bottom of the wood trim and are finished at the top with a French heading, at the back of which rings are sewn. These groups may be treated as one window as shown in the sketch. This is often done, as the glass curtain falling over the wooden trim gives it a soft airy effect. Nineteen Twenty The Library with Dignity FLEMISH FILET PANEL No. 15380 Made 2F> yards long by 42 inches wide. Yard goods pattern No. 15881 matches. Available in natural only. HERE are many old houses which possess amazing possibilities and which are today being remodeled into charming homes. Many of these possess very high ceilings and have high windows. The group of windows in the bay of this library show one large window flanked by two narrow ones. They are slightly recessed, the frame-work being quite decorative in character relieves the necessity of a valance though it could be very attractively used as illustrated in the sketch on this page, see “B”. The Flemish Filet Curtain chosen for this pattern breaks the length of the window, making an attractive foil for the striped overhanging. The lace curtain hangs straight to the sill from a 3-8" brass rod. The rod is run through a one inch casing above which is a one inch heading. One pair of 42" cur¬ tains are used on each of the windows or the same Flemish Filet Lace can be had by the yard for those preferring to make their own curtains. The overhangings are meant to take the place of shades. The striped material was chosen to repeat the stripe in the upholstery and harmonize with the architectural contours of the room. A full 50" width is used for each hanging. They hang to the floor and are lined with sateen, finished at the top with a 23 ^ 2 " pinch pleated heading. Back of the pleats are sewn French Heading hooks. These hook into rings which slip easily upon the pole through the operation of a small pulley. The brass rods carrying the filet net curtains and the overhangings are placed at the top of the window trim and shaped to the win¬ dow. See sketch “A”. Twenty-one Twenty-two The Breakfast Room FRINGED COTTON CASEMENT CURTAIN No. 16091 Made 2*4 yards long by 32 inches wide. Also 41 inches under No. 16092. Yard goods to match No. 9137. Comes in ivory and natural. HEER and sunlight to start the day right is the best known pre¬ scription. The breakfast room must radiate these two qualities and so should first be built on the east side of the house, and should second have as little curtaining as possible, and third, should abound in color. With windows to the right and windows to the left a wide open mesh net curtain was selected. This is finished at the top with a 3" hem which is pinch pleated and at the back of the pinch pleats rings are sewn so that the glass curtains may be drawn back with ease, see D . This net is woven in various meshes and may be purchased in two widths by the pair, or by the yard for those who prefer to make their own curtains. For another treatment of the shape leaded glass windows above the casements see dia¬ gram “A”. A wooden frame is made to fit the shape of the window. A 1" heading a- bove a 1" casing is made in a lengthwise piece of the net. The frame is run through at the top and is gathered together tautly at the center bottom. This joining is covered with a small rosette “E”. The overhangings are finished at the top with pinch pleats, see “B”, and may be used as draw curtains, or may not. Twenty-three Tu-enty-four The Window Alcove SCRANTON- FILET NET No. 16660 Made 45 inches in width. Can be had in ivory and natural colors. OVERDRAPE No. 800 OR windows such as those illustrat¬ ed, where large window space is exposed, the small patterned filet nets are exceptionally good. The white woodwork and architectural fea¬ tures provide a background suitable for the simplest of hangings. These filet nets are most attractive when made into curtains finished with a lJ/£" hem at bottom and sides, with 1" heading above a 1" casing. The net is 45" wide, which when the hems are taken off leaves a width that gives a soft fulness to the average window, when a pair to a window is used. The overhangings are of the plain colored Scranton Taffeta which comes in various colors. The 3" heading at the top is lined with paper cambric. This stiffens the head¬ ing and the small 1" pinch pleats are sewn by machine down 3" to hold them firmly in place. See sketch. The sketch shows the pinch plait in the mak¬ ing. In “A” the pleat is sewn down 3" from the top. “B” it is divided into three parts and each part is tacked at the top. The next step is “C where the pleat is pinched together three or four inches from the top and tacked, and “D” illustrates the finished plait. Twenty-five Twenty-six The Colonial Dining Room LUSTRE MARQUISETTE MEDALLIONED CURTAIN No. 2141 Made yards long by 34 inches wide. It is also made 44 inches wide under No. 2179. The colors are maize and sand. HOUGH the windows illustrated are small regulation windows this treatment might easily be used if they were casements. The Lustre Marquisette medallion curtain is used in the 34" width on the small windows, in the 44" width on the large double win¬ dows, a pair to a window and they hang straight to the sill. They are finished at the top with a 1" heading and 1" casing. The curtain may be drawn together, or as in the sketch when the windows are casements and pulled together. The overhangings are essential for the color they give. As the wall paper is a Toile, the hangings selected are striped in blue, Chinese red and green. They carry the colors of the rug to the wall and repeat the blue of the wall paper. They are finished with a 3" hem at the bottom and a 1" hem at the sides and 2V£" French heading at the top. The pinch pleats are 1wide. At the regulation win¬ dows they need not pull, but if the windows are casements they must take the place of shades. Rings are sewn at the back of pinch pleats and are operated by a small pulley cord. The fixtures carry two 3-8" rods from which the curtains and overhangings are hung. The Lustre Marquisette curtains are orna¬ mented with several types of medallions and they also come in plain effects for windows calling for simplicity of arrangement. The curtains are carried by double rods, see sketch “A”. Twenty-seven Twenty-Eight Wide Single Bed Room Windows LUSTRE RUFFLED CURTAIN No. 2120 lylade 234 yards by 30 inches wide in eleven colors. 60 inch valance to match, No. 2122. Piece goods to match, No. 700 LUSTER BEDSPREAD No. 1500 In six colors HE Lustre Marquisette ruffled cur¬ tain is used attractively on all types of windows. Here it is drap¬ ed low to give length to the window and because the windows are so broad, the regulation valance is used. The ruffled cur¬ tains are made yards long. The only sewing necessary on them is to finish the top with a 1" heading above a 1" casing. These curtains come in many different color combinations, which are effective against white woodwork and in combination with the mahogany. The curtains are carried by double rods on a single fixture as in diagram, see “A”. The French door is curtained with Lustre Marquisette which can be purchased by the yard and is held taut at top and bottom by small brass rods which run through a 1" casing, and the curtain is finished top and bottom with a 1" heading. The color of the curtain is repeated in the Lustre Bed Spread, both being made in many different color combinations, to match. Twenty-nine Thirty Small Bed Room Windows TWO-TONE LUSTRE RUFFLED CURTAIN No. 2121 Made 2 l /i yards by 36 inches wide. Maize body with ruffle in color. Valance to match No. 2123 LUSTRE BEDSPREAD No. 1310 In four color combinations OR the bed room treatment that is essentially severe and balanced with a stripe wall paper and bed spread, its balanced windows and twin beds, draped windows that are slightly frivolous add an interesting touch. The striped filet marquisette ruffled curtain is used as a glass curtain. Its soft folds are draped back with ruffled tie-backs which also hold the overhangings of Lustre Marquisette. The glass curtains have an ivory body with colored stripe of rose, blue, gold and orchid. The ruffled curtain is draped high and falls just to the bottom of the window frame. The overhangings of Lustre Marquisette which come in various colors, fall to the floor. This is done for several reasons. It lengthens the appearance of the window, it conforms to the daintiness of the stripe, and it carries with it a holiday air. The valance is double ruffled and can be had by the yard or ready made 60" wide. The overhangings are unlined and are fin¬ ished with a 3" hem at the bottom. A triple rod carries the ruffled curtains, the overhangings and the valance, see “A”. This rod is on one fixture and is fastened 1" from the top of the wood trim as in “A” of the diagram. The bed spreads are made in color combi¬ nations of rose, green, gold and blue and there are also a number of other attractive color combinations in Scranton Lustre Spreads. Thirty-one Washing Instructions The Proper Way to Care for Your Curtains LUSTRE-LACE Y\FASH quickly in almost cool suds made of pure mild soap. We recom¬ mend Colgate’s FAB or LUX. Never soak. Squeeze, never Rub or Twist. Rinse in several cool waters until the last rinse is clear. To insure quick and even drying, pass through wringer several times. Dry flat or hang over line with edges straight, away from sun or heat. Have all strain come on cotton (not rayon) threads. Never use clothes¬ pins. Ease cotton threads to shape while drying and again while pressing- If stretchers are used, reinforce curtain edges with tape. Press when almost dry with a warm iron, never use a hot iron. FINE COTTON CURTAINS First measure length and width of each curtain and set your curtain stretcher accordingly. Then soak the curtains for an hour or two in warm suds. After soaking wash carefully with Ivory soap or flakes in warm water until thoroughly clean. Rinse thoroughly in two or three clear waters and dip in very thin solution of starch. Then place the curtains on the stretcher to dry. Avoid excessive stretching as it is often the cause of small breaks apr pearing in your curtains. It is usually best to take the heading out of the curtains before laundering so that it will not be necessary to pull or stretch the curtains in drying. When curtains are taken down it is always best to have them laun¬ dered before putting in storage. If this is not done the dirt and grit which is in the curtains will tend to rot the fabric.
