Watch The Pattern
When You Choose
New
Curtains
So lovely, the new furnishing textiles this year, that one gets quite carried away by beauty of design and colour.
Before buying new curtains, however, it is very important to drape a length of the material to see how the pattern locks when it hange in tolds. Some of the most imposing all-over de- signs look nothing when they are pulled back from the windows. But at two furnishing fabric shows I went to this week I noticed that artists are really beginning to get this idea: most of the designs, instead of being very sprawly and all over the place. were definite motifs in orderly repetition. Thus the effect of a beautiful design is retained even when the material hangs in close folds.
Two
WO gorgeous patterned linens designed by Riette Sturge Moore were examples of this: one, called Boudicen, had round shield-ke mollis repeated in rows between wavy lines; another looked as if a wide stripest zibbon had been twisted and twirled across and across a dark back.
ground.
At unother exhibition there was a Marion Dorn design called Aircraft; secried ranks of birds in flight, blue birds, green birds, closely flying across A pale sky And it is in curtain textures that modern abstract designs luok so good, since the interruption of the folds makes endless fresh designs. A beautiful example of this type is a damasked fabric with bold circles, stripes and squares by Ben Nicholson.

LL animals that live in herds show signs of distress when they are part- ed from the herd. And we are gregarious animals.
However, to be too gregarious means to be without individuali- ty. to be unable to stand on one's own feet-in short, to be sheep-like. Living crowded to- gether in cities with intense division of labour has tended to increase this gregariousness and to make us more like a hive of bees. That state is που εξ together desirable.
