The upperpart will be understood froui the accompanjing drawing, Fig. 1. The top is aslanting oval. This drape may be built in any height. It is especially appropriatefor high drapes at back of window. The stand is jilaccd with face (jf tlie oval squareto front. This point is important. The goods are opened in usual way and laid right side up at left of stand. If a boltof goods is used, only open enough to conii)ltle the drape, as it is easier to handle thatway. Carry end over to the riglit of tlie stand, leaving about three yards surplus ontloor for the pufting in front when the drape i> linished. TIkii pick up the gcjods in froutof the stand by the back selvage and jiin to the tn]) of the lower part of stand at point. A, Fig. 2, which is about -^ feet from floor. The folds of the goods arc now drawn roughlyto the right and left, leaving a wide section of material formed by the width of goodsdirectly in front of the stand. This is carefnllv draped smooth and the llopes in a graceful curve up to pointA, where it is pinned. Then form three ileep even jdeats on the right hand side as shownin Fig. 2. Three pleats are made on the left side in same manner. The bolt of goods isnow carried over to the right side, leaving enough goods on the tlo«u- at the left to formthe long sweep shown in Drape lt>. Pick the goo(|> up in the middle in front of the stand,and place it so the back selvage hangs 1 inch over the lack of the o\al top of the goods should be placed perfectly straight over the top, otherwi>e the folds will notfall evenly
