There will be a more lavish use of fabric in home decoration than ever before. There will be many new types of textiles and many new weaves. Fabrics will be designed to wear longer and to stay clean longer. A feeling of spaciousness will be obtained by blotting out some walls with curtains. cur-tains. Irregular, or badly proportioned propor-tioned spaces will be brought into harmony by covering parts of them; and small windows will be made to seem high and wide by covering the wall around them. The homemaker who can sew a straight seam will save many a dollar for she may have curtains of any length, width or fullness merely by stitching straight widths together. And here is a decorators' decora-tors' tip for her allow a hundred and fifty per cent fullness if French pleats are to be used at the tops of curtains; and set the machine for I a long stitch for speed. Clip selvages sel-vages every few inches to avoid puckered seams and hems. NOTE You do not have to wait for your home of tomorrow to have the attractive coffee table shown in this sketch.
