Word Entry - "The Yellow Wallpaper"

1. "I wanted one downstairs that opened on the piazza and had roses all over the window, and such pretty old-fashioned chintz hangings!" (pg 355) 

2. My guess: The narrator is talking about how the room looks and the decorations in it. So, I assume that chintz are some kind of decoration, I know that it is something that hangs, but I can not tell exactly what she means by it. 

3. Definition:  1. A printed calico (a cotton cloth) from India  2. A usually glazed printed cotton fabric 
 ( http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/chintz ) and ( http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/calico ) 

4. Explanation  Now I understand that when the narrator says chintz hangings that she is referring to Indian drapes. Looking back, the chintz hangings are probably on the window that she is talking about.
