the light best. Dark blue, dark

Mindies have learned that often
its necessary to leave windows |
open, particuarly on warm nights.
This means curtains must be
heavy enough not to blow and

All effective black-out cur- j
tarns whether they're new or
made over must c me four to,

hang at least six inches below the
