ARRANGING DRAUGHT CURTAINS At all times of the year the householder has to be careful of draughts, and in this respect attention must be paid to the window which overlooks the garden. Such things as draught curtains can, and are being used in most houses. The necessity to use these curtains comes only at night really, and that assists, in the respect that darker and richer colourings can be chosen than

would be the case if they were used by day. Curtains to match certain types of cretonne upholstery is obtainable anywhere, and shows to advantage in a large window such as that illustrated.

The new aluminium teapots, now to be seen in the shops, are good-looking, sensible affairs without any ornamentation. The spout is so constructed that the tea flows in a steady stream. These aluminium teapots are of the kind useful for everyday family use. They are capacious and easily cleaned. Aluminium is an attractive metal, and when moulded into beautiful shapes is very pleasing on the table. It is, of course, very light in weight and almost unbreakable.
