The Family Room.
In choosing chairs for the living room the individual requirements of the members of the family should be remembered, so that when the family is gathered together there will be a comfortable spot for each member. The curtains, too, should be chosen in accordance with the needs and desires of the family. Since the living room is always where the privacy or home life is enjoyed, the curtains should, if necessary, serve as protection from passers-by. On the other hand, the room will probably require all the light possible. A happy arrangement is often made by having upner and lower curtains. Such sash curtains are made in two tiers, and hung on two sets of brass rods, so that either the upper or lower half, or both, can readily be drawn aside.
