Q—I am never quite sure how to hang pictures. Can you guide me ?
A—Pictures should always be hung -‘blind’’ . . . . that is, without the cord fir wire showing. A good rule is to hang them at the eye level of a person standing. Th grouping pictures, place them one over the other. Side by side, or in the other organized or symmetrical groups. But don’t arrange them in a stair step fashion. The latter treatment is nice only on stair walls. Hang pictures low if you want to add height to your room.
Q— Can I have floor-length draperies with a radiator under the window?
A—It’s ^easy. Use a cornice board at the top and extend it six or eight inches beyond either side —of the window so the draperies will hang free of the radiator. This treatment gives a broad look to the window, and at the same time will overcome any interference from the radiator.
