Evening Republican, Volume 22, Number 17, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 20 January 1919 — Transparent Cretonnes. [ARTICLE]

Transparent Cretonnes.

Some new cretonnes for house furnishing are woven in such manner that the light shines through special parts of the pattern with a very clear and beautiful effect, bringing out the eolor and design of flowers, while the background keeps its subdued, soft tones. Particularly handsome is a cretonne of this type with shaded pink roses on a black ground. The special weave of jthe fabric makes the roses and some of the leaves' stand out against the dark background. giving the effect of a sunljghted window , even on a dull anil overcast day. - '
