Rushes in the Olden Time-The Introduce
U. tiOn of Enrppta

l. lion OF Carpets
The author of Our English Homes thus
illustrates the saying: "He does not care
even the floors Of banqueting hall and
bathrooms were covered with rushes; for
Shakespeare says that
s'wantons light Of heart
Tickle the senseless rushes with their heels''
eff the owner could boast of a CARPET it
was reserved for the chamber or the parior.
Rushes not only alayed the dust, but served
as a token of respect. Are the rushes
streWed asks 'Grumio,' when expecting the
arrival of 'Petrushio' and his BRIDE On the
floors were spread new rushes when guests
were invited. 1t was an old joke among the
wits of the Elizabethan age, that many
strewed green rushes for strangers, who
7rouid not giCs strdlo for a friend. To cover
the floor, indeed, was deemed so necessary
point OF courtesy, that when not performed
it was said that the host did not care a rush
or straw tor his guest hence the origin of
an expression common now.
"The use Of these homely materials per-
vaded all classes; even the hall of the Virgin
Queen, according 10 Hentzner, was strewed
with straw. Among the middle class this
custom prevailed at a much later period, and
the welcome associated by time-honored
usage with the strewing of rushes, retarded
the general introduction of carpets. Many
retained the use of the homely herbage,
whose wealth placed the looms of Italy at
their disposal.
Carpets, however, which, during the mid
die ages, were rarely found except in the
homes of royalty, were gradually becoming
less expensive. Beaumont and Fletchers
coxcomb does not forget among the luxuries
with which he would have his house ar
ranged, to specify the Turkey carpets the
use of which was so opposed to the habits of
the people that they were, as yet, regarded
as luxurious and foppish. Carpets, of Tor
Quey makynge,' and carpets of silk covered,
many of them, with beads and gems, were
among the household treasures of Henry
the Eighth. His Highness, just before his
death, purchased of Lawrence Warren, mer-
chant, "a very fair carpet 1t was the most
sumptuous 'tapet' in the royal household,
being embroidered with venrie gold and
trails Of pearls on a groundwork of crimson
satin; il was edged with a deep border of
gold and rows of pearls, and lined with green
silk. Many. of these beautiful carpets were
the productions of English embroiderers."
