-many new synthetics and blends.</p>
-<p>Whether the room is traditional,
-modern, formal or informal, you
-need only visit the drapery fabric
-department to realize what a wide
-choice of fabrics are available in
-either group.</p>
-<p>Windows are so much a part of the
-background that the fabric chosen,
-its texture, color and line, and the
-design of the curtains, draperies
-and slip covers must be in keeping
-with the atmosphere of the room
-and contribute to the over-all effect.</p>
-<p>For the very formal treatment,
-you&rsquo;ll want to choose something in
-the Damask designs, taffetas, moires,
-brocades, satins, brocatelles or
-the many blends of the pure and
-man-made fibers, some with metallic
-threads woven in. Fringes and
-tassels are used as trims, and the
-window treatment would include
-draped valances, swags, cascades,
-elaborate cornices, tie-backs, etc.</p>
-<p>For the less formal or informal
-<span class="pb" id="Page_4">4</span>
-room, the choice of fabric is even
-wider&mdash;linens in medium and sheer
-weights, prints and lacey patterns,
-marquisette, scrim, voile, ninon,
-denim, sailcloth, chintz, polished
-cotton, antique satin, organdy, batiste
-and many blends of synthetics,
-such as Fortisan and rayon or silk.
-The curtain treatment should be
-simple. If valances are used, they
-should be plain with straight lines.</p>
-<p>Many of the new synthetic fibers
-are a real advantage to the home-maker
-because of their easy washing
-and quick drying properties.
-Some require very little pressing,
-if any.</p>
-<p>In estimating the yardage required,
-consider the length of the drapery,
-before finishing hems and heading,
-and the width of the window or
-space to be covered. An allowance
-of 2&frac12; or 3 times the width should
-be made for fullness. When using
-sheer fabrics, draperies should be
-full enough to hang in easy, graceful
-folds. Over-curtains or draperies
-of medium weight fabrics require
-a fullness of 2 to 2&frac12; times the
-width. Also, if you select a fabric
-with a large one-way design, some
-allowance should be made for
-matching the design so all lengths
-will balance.</p>
-<p><span class="ss"><i>For example:</i></span> The window is 64&Prime;
-wide which requires 4 widths of
-48&Prime; wide fabric for a 3 to 1 fullness.
-The drapery lengths are 2&#8531;
-yards long. If a plain fabric or overall
-design is used, the fabric required
-would be 9&#8531; yards, but if
-the fabric has a 24&Prime; repeat pattern,
-you must allow 1&#8531; yards more, or
-a total of 10&#8532; yards for matching
-the design.</p>
-<p>Consider the width of the fabric
-when figuring the number of widths
-for fullness. Some fabrics are only
-36&Prime; wide&mdash;chintz and some polished
-cottons, for example. Others may
-run 40&Prime;&mdash;48&Prime;&mdash;even 54&Prime; or 60&Prime; in
-width; but the average is about
-48&Prime; wide.</p>

-<dt>&lArr;True Bias&rArr;</dt></dl>
-<div class="pb" id="Page_5">5</div>
-<p>Draperies must be cut on the true
-lengthwise and crosswise grain of
-the fabric so that when hung, they
-fall straight from the rod in even,
-graceful folds.</p>
-<p>In weaving, yarns are threaded
-lengthwise on a loom which form
-the warp of the fabric. Another
-yarn is interlaced back and forth
-crosswise and is called the weft or
-filling thread. This is known as the
-plain weave. Linen, voile, chintz,
-etc., are a few of the plain woven
-fabrics. There are variations of the
-plain weave, such as the pile weave,
-with velveteen and corduroy as examples.
-The basket weave is another,
-with Monk&rsquo;s cloth as an
-example. The diagonal line halfway
-between the lengthwise and crosswise
-threads is the bias of the fabric.</p>
-<p>The twill weave is perhaps one of
-the most durable. The filling yarn
-forms a diagonal line, passing over
-one warp yarn and under two or
-more. Denim, drill cloth and ticking
-are examples of this weave.</p>
-<p>The satin weave is an irregular
-weave where one yarn passes over
-several yarns of the other set before
-interweaving, forming a floating,
-lustrous surface.</p>
-<p>Weaves are used in combinations to
-obtain the various patterns in Damasks,
-brocades, Jacquards, etc.</p>

-<p class="pcap">Cutting on true crosswise grain.</p>
-</div>
-<div class="pb" id="Page_6">6</div>
-<p>The yarns made from the different
-fibers&mdash;the natural, man-made and
-blended fibers&mdash;are of various sizes,
-weights, smoothness and fuzziness.
-The type of yarns used in the different
-weaves influences the texture of
-the fabric as well as its weight,
-lustre and durability.</p>
-<p>When cutting drapery lengths, be
-sure to start with a true crosswise
-grain. Most firmly woven plain
-weave fabrics can be torn. Snip the
-selvage before you tear the fabric.
-Linens, loosely woven and nubby
-fabrics, novelty weaves and many
-others will not tear satisfactorily.
-To straighten these, it is necessary
-to pull a thread crosswise and cut
-on pulled line.</p>
-<p>After cutting lengths, check to see
-if the ends of the fabric are square.
-If not, square the crosswise edge
-by pulling the low corner on a
-true bias from opposite side of the
-fabric. Sometimes dampening the
-fabric will relax the threads and
-make straightening easier.</p>

-<div class="img">
-<img src="images/p04.jpg" alt="uncaptioned" width="500" height="483" />
-</div>
-<p>Color has a language all its own&mdash;It
-expresses, it soothes, it stimulates,
-it creates; it can give you a lift.
-And color as a home decorator can
-be made to work like magic. With
-color, the dullest rooms can be made
-to sparkle with warmth and good
-cheer. Any color scheme is good as
-long as it is balanced and it pleases
-you. A number of colors, tints and
-shades may be used in one room,
-but one color should be dominant
-and it should be used in different
-areas of the room. The second color
-should be subordinate, not of the
-same value. Then a third color may
-be used for accent or contrast. The
-neutral colors: gray, white and
-black, are good background or accent
-colors.</p>
-<p>Do not overlook the possibilities of
-accessories, such as pillows, vases,
-china, lamps and books to supply
-an accent color to complete your
-color scheme.</p>
-<p>Your color scheme may be taken
-from a favorite picture, a family
-heirloom or may express the interests
-and personalities of the family.
-Consider also the location of the
-room&mdash;East, West, North or South&mdash;and
-how the light enters the room.</p>
-<p>There are three primary colors&mdash;red,
-yellow and blue. These colors
-are mixed to obtain secondary
-colors. For example, red and yellow
-produce the color orange; red and
-blue, the color violet and blue and
-yellow, the color green. By blending
-these six colors we complete the
-color wheel which is made up of
-<span class="pb" id="Page_8">8</span>
-red, red orange, orange, yellow,
-yellow green, green, blue green,
-blue, blue violet and violet.</p>
-<p>We refer to certain colors as warm,
-others as cool and still others as
-neither warm nor cool. The warm
-colors are red, yellow and orange.
-The cool colors are the blues. Green
-is neither warm nor cool but if
-mixed with yellow, it becomes
-warm; when mixed with blue, it
-becomes a cool color.</p>
-<p>Color and line apparently change
-the size of the room. Cool, light
-colors and vertical lines make walls
-appear higher and the room larger,
-while warm colors and horizontal
-lines seem to lower the ceiling and
-draw the walls nearer.</p>
-<p>For North and East rooms, use
-warm colors. If little light enters
-in, use light shades of the warm
-colors. Use the cool colors in rooms
-with South or West exposures.</p>
-<p>When purchasing your fabrics for
-curtains, draperies and slip covers,
-keep in mind the overall effect.
-Consider the room exposure, light,
-size of room, furniture arrangement
-and what color and design
-will do to create a room you will
-always enjoy. Since windows are
-a very important part of the room
-as a unit, the fabric chosen for
-curtains or draperies should also
-be used to slip cover a sofa or chair,
-a dressing table cover, or a dust
-ruffle for the bed.</p>

-</div>
-<h3 id="c3"><i>Selection of Needles and Thread</i></h3>
-<p>Sewing thread should blend as
-nearly as possible with the fabric
-in color, fiber and size. Silk and
-wool fabrics are stitched with silk
-thread. Cottons, linens and some
-blended fabrics are stitched with
-cotton thread or mercerized thread.
-The synthetic fabrics and blends of
-the pure and man-made fibers may
-be stitched with silk, mercerized
-<span class="pb" id="Page_9">9</span>
-cotton, nylon or Dacron (DuPont)
-thread. The needle is selected with
-consideration to both the thread
-and the fabric.</p>
-<p>With fabrics used for glass curtains
-and for sheer curtains, such as
-organdy, voile, &ldquo;Dacron,&rdquo; dotted
-Swiss, marquisettes, batiste and
-sheer linen, use a fine cotton thread,
-size 80 or 90, or a mercerized
-thread. Use a size 14 needle for
-mercerized thread and a size 11 for
-finer threads, including &ldquo;Dacron&rdquo;
-for &ldquo;Dacron&rdquo; fabrics, organdy,
-&ldquo;Dacron,&rdquo; marquisette, dotted
-Swiss, lawn, batiste and rayon lend
-themselves beautifully to the use of
-sewing machine attachments for
-ruffling, tucking, hemming, etc.
-Fiberglas stitches well and is best
-suited to straight panel type curtains
-with pleated headings. Use a
-mercerized thread and size 14 machine
-needle for Fortisan, synthetics
-and the many blends.</p>
-<p>The average machine stitch length
-for these fabrics should be about
-12 stitches to the inch and the tensions
-easy enough to prevent puckering
-the fabrics, particularly sheer
-fabrics, such as batiste, nylons,
-ninons and soft rayon blends.</p>
-<p>For Damask, brocades, taffetas,
-satins, etc., use silk or mercerized
-thread, size 14 or 11 needles of 12
-to 14 stitches per inch.</p>
-<p>Heavy weight fabrics, namely,
-linens, cotton Damasks, sailcloth,
-ticking, denims, etc., require a
-heavy-duty thread, a size 16 needle
-and a 12 stitch length.</p>
-<p>For light or medium weight fabrics
-comparable to polished cottons,
-Chintz, linens, Glosheen, percale,
-antique satin and faille, use a mercerized
-thread, a size 14 needle and
-a 12 or 14 stitch length.</p>

-<h2 id="c4"><span class="small"><i>Window Measurements</i></span></h2>
-<p>Before taking measurements, there
-are several points that should be
-taken into consideration: Is the
-window in proportion to the room?
-Will it contribute properly to the
-effect you wish to achieve? Do you
-have the right rods for hanging the
-type of drapery selected?</p>
-<p>When you are satisfied with the window,
-then it is time to consider the
-type of materials for draperies and
-decide on the type of rod required.</p>
-<p>It is a good idea to make a sketch
-of the room, noting the placement
-of windows and arrangement of
-furniture. Also take the width and
-height measurement of each window.
-Then visit the curtain and drapery
-department to get an idea of
-the type of fixtures available. At
-the same time, obtain small samples
-of the fabrics suited to the type of
-drapery you have in mind. Examine
-them in the room where they are to
-be used. Are they the right texture?
-Are the colors lively enough? Will
-they create the desired effect?</p>
-<p>Purchase and mount the rods for
-the draperies. Fixtures should be
-mounted so that draperies, when
-hung, will cover the window frame.
-Now you are ready to take measurements.</p>
-<p>There are three correct lengths for
-draperies&mdash;to the sill&mdash;to the lower
-edge of the apron&mdash;or to the floor.
-Full length draperies should just
-clear the floor or be long enough
-to crush on the floor.</p>
-<p><span class="ss"><i>For length</i></span>&mdash;Measure from the top
-of the rod down&mdash;to the sill&mdash;to the
-lower edge of apron&mdash;or to the floor.</p>
-<p><span class="ss"><i>For width</i></span>&mdash;Measure from edge to
-edge of window frame or from outer
-edges of fixture brackets. To this
-measurement add the &ldquo;return&rdquo; at
-either end; that is, the length from
-curve of rod to the wall.</p>
-<div class="pb" id="Page_12">12</div>
-<h4>Estimating Yardage for Over-Curtains or Draperies</h4>
-<p>The type of heading, the width of
-lower hem and the type of drapery;
-that is, lined, unlined or interlined,
-must be considered when estimating
-the yardage required. The fullness
-of draperies averages about
-twice the width of the space to be
-covered.</p>
-<p>A stiffening; such as a strip of crinoline
-or buckram is used at the top
-to support the pleats.</p>
-<p><span class="ss"><i>For Lined Draperies</i></span>&mdash;To length
-measurement, add 1&Prime; for heading,
-4&Prime; for hem and 3&frac12;&Prime; for bottom
-hem.</p>
-<p><span class="ss"><i>Example</i></span>&mdash;If length from top of rod
-is 90&Prime;, add 1&Prime; plus 4&Prime; plus 3&frac12;&Prime;.
-This equals 98&frac12;&Prime; for one length,
-or 5&frac12; yards for the two lengths.</p>
-<p><span class="ss"><i>For Unlined Draperies</i></span>&mdash;To length
-measurement, add 1&Prime; for heading,
-4&frac12;&Prime; for top hem and seam, and
-3&frac12;&Prime; for lower hem. A 4&Prime; wide strip
-of crinoline is used at the top of
-both lined and unlined drapes.</p>
-<p>If a double hem is used at the bottom,
-then add 6&Prime; instead of 3&frac12;&Prime;
-for hem in either lined or unlined
-drapes.</p>
-<p><span class="ss"><i>For Interlined Draperies</i></span>&mdash;To
-length measurement, add 1&Prime; for
-heading, 3&Prime; for top hem and 3&Prime; for
-bottom hem.</p>
-<p>When using ready-made headings
-for pleats, add to the length measurement
-1&frac12;&Prime; for heading and
-seam, and 3&frac12;&Prime; for bottom hem.</p>

-<p>When draperies are hung flush with the wall,
-measurements are taken inside the recess. A
-spring socket type of fixture is available for this
-type of window. Always measure from the top of
-the rod, except for Cafe curtains. Usually a ring,
-&ldquo;sew-on&rdquo; or &ldquo;clip-on&rdquo; type is used. In this case,
-measure from lower part of circle to lower part
-of next section, or to the sill. Add depth of top
-finish plus hem to this measurement.</p>

-an oval or round rod, and a draw type of drapery.
-If drapery is to be shirred on the rod, take measurement
-from top of rod to lower edge of window.
-To length measurement, add 2&frac12;&Prime; for a 1&frac12;&Prime;
-hem which forms the casing and heading, and
-2&frac34;&Prime; to 2&frac12;&Prime; bottom hem. If <i>sew-on</i> or <i>clip-on

-<p>The type of drapery determines points of measurement.
-With tier type draperies, one for each
-section of the window, the measurements are
-taken from top to bottom of each section. Draperies
-hung from the top extending to lower edge
-of window or floor are measured from top of fixture
-for length desired. Tier type or cafe sections
-should be long enough to overlap the heading of
-the section below. Follow same procedure for
-measuring as for projected window. These draperies
-should be full&mdash;1&frac12; times the width for medium
-weight fabrics, such as Chintz, Glosheen,
-etc., to three times the width when using sheer
-fabrics.</p>
-<h4>Methods of installing</h4>
-<p>Curtain and drapery rods, brackets
-and valance boards should be mounted
-securely to the wall to support
-heavy draperies. This can be a problem
-unless you use the right screws

-<p>Draperies or over curtains are made
-of medium weight or heavy fabrics.
-They may be unlined, lined or lined
-and interlined, depending on the
-fabric and its treatment&mdash;whether
-formal or informal.</p>
-<p>There are three accepted lengths
-for draperies&mdash;to the window sill&mdash;to
-the bottom of the window apron&mdash;or
-to the floor. Floor length is
-most generally used, and for very
-formal treatments, the drapery is
-often made long enough to crush
-on the floor. Draperies hang straight
-from the rod to the floor. If they
-meet at the top center, they may be
-draped to either side and held with
-ornamental tie-backs or those made
-of the same material.</p>
-<p>When the type and design of draperies
-have been decided upon and
-the right type of rods have been
-mounted, then measurements for
-draperies can be taken.</p>
-<p>Measure from the top of the rod
-down for length desired. Then add
-to length measurement the allowance
-for top and bottom hems. Review
-chapter on &ldquo;Fabrics&rdquo; before
-cutting lengths for draperies.</p>
-<div class="pb" id="Page_16">16</div>
-<h4><span id="unlined">Unlined Draperies</span></h4>
-<p>These draperies are informal in
-treatment and are usually made of
-light or medium weight fabrics.
-Most any type of top finish, shirring
-or pleats is suitable. A plain
-valance or cornice board may be
-used. For a pleated heading, allow
-5&frac12;&Prime; at the top for heading and
-5&frac12;&Prime; at the bottom for a 2&frac12;&Prime; double
-hem. Cut strips of crinoline or
-lawn for stiffening 4&Prime; wide and 3&Prime;
-shorter than the width of each drapery
-length. Pin strip to underside
-of heading &frac12;&Prime; from the top, starting
-1&frac12;&Prime; from the edge. Stitch along
-lower edge of strip, then turn top
-edge of fabric over stiffening &frac12;&Prime;
-and stitch. Turn top hem to underside
-along edge of stiffening. Press
-and pin in place.</p>
-<p>Side hems may be put in by hand,
-machine stitched or blind stitched.
-For hand stitching or straight machine
-stitching, turn edge &frac12;&Prime; to
-underside; then turn 1&Prime; for hem.
-Pin hem in place for stitching.</p>

-<dt>3&Prime;</dt>
-<dt>2&Prime;</dt></dl>
-<p>Draperies are lined for the protection
-of the fabric. Linings also give
-weight to the draperies, causing
-them to hang in deeper folds. A sun-fast
-white, soft gray or cream colored
-sateen is generally used as the
-lining fabric.</p>
-<p>Linings, just as drapery fabrics,
-must be cut straight with the crosswise
-and lengthwise grains.</p>
-<p>Always start with a straight crosswise
-edge. This is obtained by drawing
-a crosswise thread and cutting
-on drawn thread. If fabric slopes
-up on one edge, then it should be
-straightened before pieces are cut.</p>
-<p>Very often, when fabrics are rolled
-on the boards at the mills, the fabric
-is rolled more tightly on one end
-than at the other, drawing the
-crosswise threads (weft) in a diagonal
-line. This is apt to be true in
-loosely woven fabrics and particularly
-lining fabric.</p>
-<p>To straighten fabric, first remove
-selvages, pull fabric gently but
-effectively, stretching it diagonally
-from corner to corner; then alternate.
-Grasp the fabric so that you
-will neither injure nor wrinkle it.
-Press before seaming.</p>
-<p>Lining should be cut to allow for a
-2&Prime; hem at the bottom and a &frac12;&Prime;
-seam across the top and sides.</p>
-<p>Illustration is for a drapery 2&frac12;
-yards long, finished with 4&Prime; top
-hem, 1&Prime; side hems and 3&Prime; bottom
-hem. Drapery length would measure
-<span class="pb" id="Page_20">20</span>
-98&frac12;&Prime; and lining length, 88&frac12;&Prime;.
-The average hem widths, 3&Prime; and
-4&Prime;, were used in figuring measurements.
-The width of hems vary.
-There is no fixed rule. They may be
-3&Prime;&mdash;4&Prime;&mdash;5&Prime; or even 7&Prime; at the top
-and 2&Prime;&mdash;2&frac12;&Prime;&mdash;3&Prime; or 4&Prime; at the bottom.
-In many cases the bottom hem
-is doubled, particularly in sheer
-or lightweight fabrics. Also the
-center side hem may be as much as
-2&Prime; wide and the outer hem 1&Prime;. In
-this case, the lining is cut 6&Prime; narrower
-than the drapery. Before taking
-measurements for draperies, review
-section on <a class="htm" href="#c4"><i>Window Measurements</i></a>.</p>
-<p>To join lining, turn top edge of lining
-to underside &frac12;&Prime; and press. Pin
-lining and drapery together, starting
-7&frac12;&Prime; from the top. Stitch from
-top of lining down to 4&frac12;&Prime; of lower
-edge of lining, taking a &frac12;&Prime; seam.
-Back-stitch at the beginning and

-is such that the extra weight is necessary
-for its protection. Interlining
-also adds to the draping quality
-and elegance of the fabric.</p>
-<p>For an interlining fabric, use good
-quality cotton flannel. Cut interlining
-the exact measurements of draperies
-when finished; that is, if draperies
-have 1&frac12;&Prime; hems on each side
-and 3&Prime; hems, top and bottom, then
-cut interlining 3&Prime; narrower and 6&Prime;
-shorter than drapery fabric. Spread

-<div class="img">
-<img src="images/p14.jpg" alt="uncaptioned" width="600" height="201" />
-</div>
-<p>The use of pleats is one of the most
-effective ways of controlling the
-fullness of a drapery that is made
-to hang in balanced, graceful folds.
-The types most generally used are
-the pinch pleat, the French pleat,
-the box pleat and the cartridge
-pleat.</p>
-<p>Pleats should be made in groups of
-uneven numbers, 5-7-9, or as many
-as are required to take up the
-amount allowed for fullness. For
-very sheer fabrics, the allowance
-for fullness should be 3 times the
-width of the window or space to be
-covered. To figure the spacings and
-amount to be taken up in pleats,
-take the measurement of the space
-to be covered plus the return; that
-is, the distance from turn of rod to
-the wall or the bracket supporting
-the rod on either end, plus the
-overlap at the center when curtains
-are drawn together. The width allowed
-for draperies minus these
-three measurements is to be taken
-up in pleats.</p>
-<p>The fullness of each type of pleat
-and space between depends on the
-weight of the material and amount
-allowed for fullness of the curtain.</p>
-<p><span class="ss"><i>For Example</i></span>: If one half of the
-width to be covered is 49&Prime; then one
-section of the drapery would be
-about 144&Prime; wide after finishing side
-hems. To width of window area
-(49&Prime;), add 3&Prime; for return and 1&Prime;
-for center overlap. This totals 53&Prime;.
-144&Prime; minus 53&Prime; equals 91&Prime; for
-pleats. Allowing 7&Prime; for each pleat,
-13 pleats will be required to take
-up the fullness.</p>
-<p>Please Note&mdash;3&Prime; for return is used
-as an example. The return can be
-4&Prime; or 5&Prime;, depending on type of rod
-or bracket. Always measure the return.</p>
-<div class="pb" id="Page_27">27</div>
-<h4>Steps to Pleats</h4>
-<p>Always measure and mark the exact
-position and width for all pleats
-and spacings before stitching.</p>
-<p>Measure the width of the return
-from outer edge. Then measure for
-the first pleat at the curve of the
-rod. Place second pleat on opposite
-side 2&Prime; from center edge. The third
-pleat is placed at the exact center
-between the first and second pleat.
-The remaining number of pleats required
-is evenly spaced between
-the 1st and 3rd and between the
-2nd and 3rd pleats. To form pleats,
-bring markings for pleats together.
-Pin; then stitch from top to &frac34;&Prime;
-below the heading, reversing the
-stitch at either end.</p>

-<h4>Tie-Backs</h4>
-<p>Fabric tie-backs for draperies are
-usually tailored, straight or shaped
-bands which match or harmonize
-with the drapery in color and design.
-The fullness of the drapery determines
-the length of the tie-back. To
-estimate length, loop a strip of material
-around the drapery, drawing
-it back to side of window for the
-best effect. Lengths may vary from
-18&Prime; to 24&Prime; and can be 2&frac12;&Prime; or more
-in width. They are usually lined or
-faced and interlined. Use a stiffening
-of heavy muslin or crinoline in
-a shaped band. For shaped band,
-cut a paper pattern about 3&Prime; or 4&Prime;
-wide in the center, tapering to 2&Prime;
-or 2&frac12;&Prime; at the end as illustrated.
-Cut fabric, lining and stiffening the
-same as pattern, allowing for a &#8540;&Prime;
-seam on all edges.</p>
-<p>Pin stiffening to underside of band,
-and lining to right side of material&mdash;right
-sides together. Stitch, leaving
-an opening of 3&Prime; or 4&Prime; for
-turning.</p>
-<p>Trim stiffening to stitching line and
-blend edge of lining. Press. Turn
-band right side out and press. Slip-stitch
-lining to band at opening.</p>
-<p>Sew small bone rings or very narrow
-fabric loops at ends of band.
-These loop over a hook fastened to
-side of window.</p>
-<h4>Anchoring Draperies</h4>
-<div class="img">
-<img src="images/p17b.jpg" alt="uncaptioned" width="362" height="424" />
-</div>
-<p>Outside edges of draperies should
-hang against the wall in a straight
-taut line. Sew a plastic ring to the
-bottom hem. Place a cup hook in
-the wall or the baseboard in line
-with the hem.</p>

-phrase "Project Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed,
-performed, viewed, copied or distributed:
-
- This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere in the United States and
- most other parts of the world at no cost and with almost no
- restrictions whatsoever. You may copy it, give it away or re-use it
- under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included with this

- United States, you'll have to check the laws of the country where you
- are located before using this ebook.
-
-1.E.2. If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is
-derived from texts not protected by U.S. copyright law (does not
-contain a notice indicating that it is posted with permission of the

-1.F.
-
-1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
-effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
-works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating the Project
-Gutenberg-tm collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm
-electronic works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may
-contain "Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate
-or corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other
-intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or
-other medium, a computer virus, or computer codes that damage or
-cannot be read by your equipment.
-
-1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
-of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project

-Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
-liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal

-received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium
-with your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you
-with the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in
-lieu of a refund. If you received the work electronically, the person
-or entity providing it to you may choose to give you a second
-opportunity to receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If

-without further opportunities to fix the problem.
-
-1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth

-or any Project Gutenberg-tm work, (b) alteration, modification, or
-additions or deletions to any Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any
-Defect you cause.
-
-Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
-electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
-computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
-exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
-from people in all walks of life.
-
-Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
-assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
-goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
-remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
-and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future
-generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see
-Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
-www.gutenberg.org
-
-
-
-Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
-
-The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
-501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
-state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
-Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
-number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by

-
-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
-spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
-freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
-array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
-status with the IRS.
-
-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
-States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
-considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
-with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
-DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular
-state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
-have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
-against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
-approach us with offers to donate.
-
-International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
-any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
-outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
-
-Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
-methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
-ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
-donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works.
-
-Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
-Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be
-freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
-distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of
-volunteer support.
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
-the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
-necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
-edition.
-
-Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search
-facility: www.gutenberg.org
-
-This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
-including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
-subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
