Show Care of Curtains and Portieres. When any cleaning or sweeping is in progress, the heavy curtains and portieres por-tieres should be removed and after being thoroughly brushed and shaken should be allowed to hang in the air until the rooms are cleaned and ready for their return. Heavy hangings will absorb the Odor from cigar smoke or from any food rhich may be cooking, and the greatest care should therefore be taken that they be kept well aired. The doorway curtains cur-tains may be so easily removed and placed in position again that there should be no excuse for any unpleasant odor being attached to them.
