From the blurb: - "The first comprehensive treatment of that all-important problem of the home decorator, drapings and fabrics. The author, by explaining textiles and their designs in relation to history, shows the reader how to choose the best from our new and modern weaves. She covers thoroughly the names and aspects of materials oftenest in hand, the particular value of each, how they may be most successfully combined, and where and how to place them. Through an analysis of the fashions for window draperies and for bed and wall hangings ïn different countries over different periods, up through our present-day modernistic tendencies, she shows just why there is a unity about a change in styles, how it can be understood and anticipated."
