Abstract: A master slide for supporting the leading edge portion of a drape which includes a horizontally extending arm having vertical holes for receiving in upright position a forwardly projecting drapery hook at the front and a laterally projecting drapery hook at the tip. Special abutments are provided at the tip to hold the hook positively in its laterally extending direction free of swiveling action so that the leading edge portion of the drape, hooked in stretched condition on the hooks, closely conforms to the front surface of the arm and extends to a point beyond the tip. In the preferred embodiment, the special tip construction is used in both right hand and left hand master slides, forming an overlapping set, with the conformation of the drapes to the arms serving to hold the leading edge portions of the drapes under positive control to preclude any rubbing of the drapery material as the slides move in and out of their overlapping relation. The arm construction is symmetrical about a horizontal plane so that the device is equally effective with the arm projecting to the left or to the right.
