[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. A venetian blind comprising a headrail and a slat-structure depending downwardly therefrom, the slat-structure comprising a plurality of spaced apart slats supported by flexible cord members, the headrail comprising:a) an elongate cover having a longitudinal axis and a pair of opposed ends, the elongate cover being made from a first material; andb) an elongate support member having a longitudinal axis and a pair of opposed ends, the elongate support member being made from a second material, the elongate support member being attached coaxially to the elongate cover so as to provide the elongate cover with increased rigidity;wherein the length of the elongate support member along its longitudinal axis is less than the length of the elongate cover along its longitudinal axis;whereby the length of the outer cover material can be reduced by cutting off a portion of at least one of its two ends normal to its longitudinal axis without cutting the elongate support member.
