T NEED some help," my friend's voice said over the telephone. "The living room dra.-peries dra.-peries are finished. I am bursting with pride over them, but I don't know how to hang the ones for the French doors." "Yes, I want to cover the door frame at the sides, but I can't cover cov-er much of the door because it must open and shut without interfering inter-fering with the draperies. I did want the curtain rod for the door to match' the ones at the windows too." Her voice trailed off in a discouraged dis-couraged tone as if there were just too many difficulties ever to be solved. But they all were .solved. The sketch shows exactly how it was done. The curtain rod was placed on hooks near the top of the door frame and extended a good 7 inches over the wall at each side of the doors. The curtains cur-tains were sewed to rings. When they were in place, they covered both the hooks and the sides of the door frame, and allowed the doors to be opened. NOTE: These curtains were lined and had a pleated heading. They were made from the step-by-step sketches in Mrs. Spears' Book 1 ; SEWING, for the Home Decorator. Decora-tor.
