Drying Curtains
Take the full width of voile, grenadine or any soft curtain material, and after stitching hems at top and bottom making a separate stitching for the rod dampen and while damp instead of ironing or using a curtain stretcher, put thpm at once on rods; place a rod in the bottom hem and one in the top and hang them to dry by pushing the material tightly together. Let them dry in this fashion. When entirely dry, take out the bottom rod and the curtains will hang as though shirred and have a dainty and sheer appearance not obtained by other methods. The advantage over ironing the _ curtains or having them hang full is so great that it is impossible to realize the effect until one has tried, this method.
