The lengthof this sweep should l)e alioiil •_ _? \ards, tliis distance however, must be adjusted, accord-ing to the size of the window and the height ,of the stand. Having completed the righthand sweep, the forward sweep is formed. This sweep starts from the left hand cornerof the front of the stand and descends in a pleat which gradually widens toward themiddle and then diminishes until it comes to a point where it is pinned to the floor. Atthe widest point, it is 12 inches across. The formation of this sweep is quite simple. Itis done as follows: To begin with, the goods used for this sweep are already pinned through the lefthand selvage to the front of the top of the stand. Now decide how long the sweep isto be made and take the .opposite or right hand selvage. Pin the right hand selvage tothe floor and the pleat forms itself naturally. The pattern of the goods crosses the sur-. face of this sweep diagonally. The left hand selvage is turned over about -1 inches andfalls back naturally in line with the wide sweep A. Having finished the front sweep, the goods are carried back m a graceful curve alongthe lower end of sw-ecp A to a point on the floor correspondiiig in position with pointE, Fig. 2. Allow fullness enough to form the puffing. In this and all similar movementsalways be careful not to twist the goods, and the right side should always be the point E carry the goods up to the top of the stand B to measure the distanceof the back sweep on the left side. Having found the correct distance lay the goods onthe floor and fold under one eighth of the whole width. Then fold back and forth untilthe goods are arranged in four pleats of equal depth, as shown in Fig. 4. Having com-pleted this arrangement, the pleated goods can be laid smoothly ov
