curtain Is to regulate the amount of light admitted to the room and a curtain so nrrangeJ that it cannot be drawn back twnrd nnt forward at wll i a Meaningless accessory It tot until the beginning of the century that curtains were used without regard to their practical purpose The window hangings of the middle ages and of the renaissance simply were straight pieces of cloth or tapestry hung across the window without any attempt at drapery and regarded not as part of the decorating of the room but as necessary protection against drafts It probably is for tills reason that In old prints and pictures representing the rooms of weaithj people curtains are so seldom seen The better the house the less need there was for curtains In the engravings of Abraham Bosse which so faithfully represent the Interior decoration of every class of French house during the reign of Louis XIII It will be noticed thut In the richest apartments there are no window curtains In nil the finest rooms of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries the inside shutters and embrasures of the windows were decorated with a care which proves that they we not meant to lie concealed by cur tai In fact It would be more dilll cnlt to pte a room of any Importance in which theVindows were not so treat eil than to enumerate examples of what really was a universal custom until the beginning of tin nineteenth century It Is known of course that curtains were used In former time prints pictures and Inventories alike prove the fact but the care exiieudiil In the decorative treatment of windows makes it plain thit the curtain tike the poitlere was regnleil ns a necessary evil rather tlmn as part of the general scheme of iliiorutlon The uieagcrness and simplicity of the curtain hi old pictures pnne tlmt they were used merely as window shades or sun blinds Ililludclpliin Ledger Cnuiol by the leiiiijTTorth It may not be generally known that a iMiinyworh of IiitKu consols can be purchased Consols are not like shares which are Invariably of a certain denomination 1 5 10 ami soon but can be divided up to any extent It consequently happens that very small amounts of this lordly stock are liought to make up
