The Use of Fabric and Thread in Decorating Homes of Tomorrow

IF YOU are dreaming about re- * decorating after the war—and who is not—put this in your note book. 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. 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.

NOTE—You do not have to wait for your home of tomorrow to have the attractive coffee table shown In this sketch. It is easy to make from straight cuts es lumber. A map, a favorite print or a piece of hand work may be placed under the glass top to give a decorative effect. Ask for pattern No. 254 and enclose 15 cents. Address:
