The House in Good Taste
·

As
for
windows
and
their
curtains--I
could
write
a
book
about
them!
A
window
is
such
a
gay,
animate
thing.
By
day
it
should
be
full
of
sunshine,
and
if
it
frames
a
view
worth
seeing,
the
view
should
be
a
part
of
it.
By
night
the
window
should
be
hidden
by
soft
curtains
that
have
been
drawn
to
the
side
during
the
sunshiny
hours.
In
most
houses
there
is
somewhere
a
group
of
windows
that
calls
for
an
especial
kind
of
curtain.
If
these
windows
look
out
over
a
pleasant
garden,
or
upon
a
vista
of
fields
and
trees,
or
even
upon
a
striking
sky-line
of
housetops,
you
will
be
wise
to
use
a
thin,
sheer
glass
curtain
through
which
you
can
look
out,
but
which
protects
you
from
the
gaze
of
passers-by.
If
your
group
of
windows
is
so
placed
that
there
is
no
danger
of
people
passing
and
looking
in,
then
a
short
sash
curtain
of
swiss
muslin
is
all
that
you
require,
with
inside
curtains
of
some
heavier
fabric--chintz
or
linen
or
silk--that
can
be
drawn
at
night.
If
you
are
building
a
new
house
I
strongly
advise
you
to
have
at
least
one
room
with
a
group
of
deep
windows,
made
up
of
small
panes
of
leaded
glass,
and
a
broad
window-seat
built
beneath
them.
There
is
something
so
pleasant
and
mellow
in
leaded
glass,
particularly
when
the
glass
itself
has
an
uneven,
colorful
quality.
When
windows
are
treated
thus
architecturally
they
need
no
glass
curtains.
They
need
only
side
curtains
of
some
deep-toned
fabric.
