What To Do With Drab Windows

ELIZABETH MacRAE BOYKIN

"Deep in the doldrums," writes Ella K, "would describe my mood. And all because my windows look 80 dull and drab. Yet there's no use to think that I can go in for fancy draperies. I couldn't even afford the price of fine material, much less the time to make them. So what's a lady to do: I'd like to add some simple valance to dress up the windows but I haven't an idea in my head. Can you suggest some- thing interesting that. I could do without taking too much time or money? And thereby win my undy- ing gratitude."
