Summary of class discussion
A summary of the points which may be brought out by the class on each arrangement of curtains follows:
A, in which the curtains are divided exactly in half, is not interesting for a very long time because—
1. The divisions on each side as well as above and below the tie backs are all alike.
2. It leaves too much of the window exposed.
3. The window space exposed does not follow the lines of the window.
4. The arrangement becomes tiresome the longer one looks at it.
5. One's curiosity is quickly satisfied when it is obvious that the two areas are exactly alike.
B, in which the curtains are tied back between one-half and two-thirds of the length and below the center continues to be interesting because—
1. The two sides are alike, but the top half is not exactly like the bottom half. This variation makes it more pleasing.
