CURTAINS IN MODERN
DRESS.
Women have adopted flowing| lines and the graceful curves of past centuries for their new clothra, and it is only consistant that the
sarue influence should be found in their homes. Curtains and furnish. ing fabrica are one of the most im portant means of emphasising the spirit and harmony of any decora, tiva scheme and all women who are true home makers will be glad to read that Whitenway, Laidlaw's have just imported over 17,000
Fards of new furnishing fabrics..
Tho new materials are for the most part of soft texture, which enables them to drape well, and many of the designs shew the modi- fed modernistic lines which make the latest dresses so lovely. Floral patterns are still in favour bath. large and small, and while there is a wide range of colour, pastel tones and deep soft colours are the most fashionable.
The has of violent juxtaposition of colour is over and where ene does find jazzflects they are worked out with grent skill and ate harmonious rather than bizarre.
