•^'T^HIS book is written fur inexperit'iiced drapers, and the designs are simple, 
 ^^ although, if made of rich materials, with beautiful combinations of 
 colors, they will be as pretty as most any family would wish. 
 
 Door draperies are more in demand than anything else, and most of the 
 inexperienced drapers are at a loss to understand just what is needed for such 
 places, and, while there are many Vjooks which pretend to teach the inexper- 
 ienced how to drape curtains and draw sketches, there are verj' few, if any, 
 that give the actual measurements of festoons, etc. Most of the books have 
 very elaborate designs on this work, but, if the reader will notice, they are out 
 of reach of the general run of well-to-do families, and, not only that, but they 
 all run mostly on window arrangements, while door draperies are more in de- 
 mand, therefore, I submit half-tone engravings on door draperies, although 
 each and every one will be suitable, if correctly arranged, for window, door and 
 bed draperies, including cozy corners. 
 
 The success which I have had in cutting and hanging draperies has been 
 such as to justify publishing this book, which is, I believe, the only one of its 
 kind on the market. 
 
 To cut and hang draperies with well considered plans, knowing just what 
 vou want to do, and how to do it, is a pleasure indeed. 
 
 While one design of drapery is suitable for many places, remember it is 
 not suitable for all places. In our modern homes of to-day there are many 
 places which require special designs, different from the beaten path, and, to be 
 able to do this is what I am trying to teach to the best of my abilit}-. 
 
 The draper should use great care and not design and hang draperies 
 which are not in keeping with the surroundings, both in color and design. 
 
 All salesmen in Draper}- Departments should be able to draw designs 
 and give estimates on drapery work. 
 
Drapery Department, 
 
 Showng windows draped the same as in the house. By this means people 
 can get a better idea of what they want. 
 
Draper's Workroom, 
 
 Showing sliding pole. This pole can be set to any measurement to test 
 draperies before hanging peniianently. 
 
with the exception of draperies which are draped without being cut, the 
 measurements of the difTerent festoons, etc., in this book will, when correctly 
 arranged, make any design the reader may select. I'se good taste, judgment 
 and perseverance, and you will accomplish this without much trouble. 
 
 With these figures, etc., in this book I have made all these draperies as 
 shown in half-tone engravings. 
 
CROSSED CURTAINS. 
 
 The effect of crossed curtains is pretty and unique, but the crossing is 
 neither appropriate nor beautiful iniless applied to lifjht, filmy stuffs. The 
 materials used for crossed curtains must not be stiffened. They must come 
 from the laundry as .soft and as pliable as from the loom, otherwist- the effect 
 is very bad. 
 
 The ruffle must be very full and dee]) in order to look well, as in cut on 
 opposite page.

READ THIS. 
 
 Do not j<o to measure for drapery work without tlie proper things with 
 which to do so. Do not trust to your memory. Put it down in figures and 
 writing, hecause you are liable to forget the most simple, yet important, thing. 
 
 Do not forget your tools after finishing your job. Have a certain numljer, 
 and count them in your tool bag before going away. 
 
 Do not forget to have work finished when promised, unless impossible 
 to do so, and, in that case, inform your customers. 
 
 When your customer knows what he wants, do not tell him he wants 
 something else. On the other hand, if people want your opinion, tell them 
 just what you think. 
 
 Do not be ashamed to acknowledge a mistake. Tell the truth. 
 
 If you have oidy enough goods for a drapery, see that you are right be- 
 fore cutting. 
 
 If people compliment you on your work, do not imagine you are the 
 only draper in town, because you may be mistaken.

Interiors. 
 
 Interior decoration has jj^rown to he one of the most important hranches 
 of trade in all cities. It demands an intimate knowledj^e of art in conihinin>; 
 colors, adapting designs to the various styles of architecture, and skill in ar- 
 ranging draperies, and, foremost of all, a cultivated taste in making original 
 
 sketchc-s and drawings which art' ])kasing to the eye.

HOW TO MEASURE FOR 
 CARPETS. ETC. 
 
 To measure for carpets, etc., it is not necessary to have diaj^rani drawn 
 to a scale, as the figures will show for tlieniselves. Draw <liagram as shown in 
 cut, or as nearly as possible like the house you are to measure, showing all ir- 
 regular parts, partitions, fire-places, etc., and measure as in cut. 
 
 To measure circular windows, draw a line across window as in diagram. 
 Find center and measure every twelve inches, or less around circle. Then 
 fasten tape on center and measure to everj- twelve inch mark, as in cut. If 
 this plan is carried out, and measurements taken correctly, there will he no 
 trouble in laying out and cutting carpets, etc.

Upholstered furniture can he kept frt-e from moths by lakinj^ tlie furni- 
 ture outside about once a month and beatin<r it thoroughly with strips of tick- 
 inj; about an inch wide attached to a jjiece of broom handle. Should one hit 
 the wood hard with this it will not mar it, while the rejjular rattan and wire 
 beaters mar more parlor frames, ruin more covers and break uj) more inside 
 fillinj^ than a dozen children could do. The main reason we have moths is we 
 are always going to beat out our upholstery furniture, but rarely get around to 
 it. Clothing, iiuludiiig furs, to be store<l in the wardrobe during the summer 
 can be kept entirely exempt from attack if j^ut into new flour sacks, linen sacks, 
 or anything of that nature, and tightly tied so that a moth cannot enter at the 
 mouth. Chests serve the same ])ur|)ose whtii tight enough to ])revent the 
 moths from entering. — I phohtcr.

 This cut gives the reader a verj' good idea of a drapery order. It repre- 
 sents an order filled as when drapers- cutter finishes his job, sho\\nng place for 
 cost marks. Putting down cost of goods, etc., is a very important thing, be- 
 cause it can be referred to at any time in case of a mistake, and, on the other 
 hand, it enables the draper to figure and see how much is made on certain jobs.

 These cuts show depth and width of festoons, after being cut and pleated. 
 They will vary a few inches either way in width if necessary. See page 65.

No. 1 is cascatle. No. 2 is end of festoon, sewed to cascade. No. 'A shows 
 needle and tliread, with goods pleated in small pleats, ready to sew on other 
 festoon. 
 
FESTOONS. 
 
 On pages 55 and 63 I present to the reader a few cuts, showing how to 
 cut festoons and their sizes after being pleated in the proper way. This is done 
 more to teach the inexperienced how to cut draperies, than anj^hing else. For 
 instance, if you wanted to make a drapery as in half-tone engraving on page 37, 
 it is raised in center and put through grill work, with long, straight curtain to 
 floor on left side, and cascade part way down on right side. To do this for 
 door 6 feet wide and 8 feet high, grill work 1 foot deep, making door 7 feet 
 high; take center festoon on page 54, — which is the left festoon, — face goods 
 and cut right, pleat and sew together, as in half-tone engraving, then cut 30 
 inches from piece of goods 50 inches wide and cut cascade sidewise of goods, 
 making it about 4 feet long. By using festoons as per figures, many different 
 designs can be made, and, if the reader wishes wider or deeper festoons, cut 
 them from larger pieces of goods, and hang on sliding pole so as to test them, 
 as in work room scene on page 7. 
 
 65 
 
COLORS WHICH CONTRAST AND 
 HARMONIZE. 
 
 The effect of two or more difTereiit tints in draperies and interior decora- 
 tions is to obtain relief by variety, and yet, two shades brought thus in contrast, 
 should harmonize, if not, the beauty is lessened. For instance, a drapery of 
 blue material would not look well with green fringe, and, for that reason, I 
 present the reader with a few of the most beautiful combinations for drapery 
 work.

WINDOW TRIMMING. 
 
 The art of window triinniinji is not, as paople iina^ne, an easy one to 
 learn, and. as this is a very important feature to tlie merchants and dealers, it 
 pays them wonderfully to have in their employ a window draper with artistic 
 taste to do nothinjj but arranj^e attractive windows for the benefit of the people 
 passinj^ the store. 
 
 The store window, if attractive, leads to sales, beinj^ a gooil advertise- 
 ment as well, and for that reason, it is needless to say that jjreat pains should 
 be taken to impress upon the minds of the passers-by the fact that you have the 
 right goods to sell.
