How to Make Simple Drapes If you, like many other home-makers, have replaced the double beds in your household with twin beds, you may have on hand a few of the doublesize bed sheets. Don't discard them; they can solve your window drapery problems in bedrooms or dining nooks. Torn sheets can also be used. Bed sheets can be converted into extremely effective window draperies—with little effort and almost no expense. Simply cut the sheets in two, lengthwise. Hem the raw edges, then tint them whatever color you have chosen for your decorative scheme. Soft pastel colors are best. The deep hem at the top and bottom of every sheet makes a perfectly satisfactory sleeve for the drapery crane or rod, and good wash tints are obtainable for a few cents.

As we approach once more the season of good cheer, we are warmed by the thought that next year will be a happier, more joyous year of them all. We are grateful for your thoughtfulness and friendships and trust we may have the pleasure of continuing to serve you in the future. We pledge our best. SEARLE AEI 101 HIGHWAY AND PLACENTIA AVE.
