 A novelty, giving the effect of chenille covering is made of the waste wool of Administer and Moquette carpets woven without design, but in the richest colorIng seen in such carpets. These cost S1-50 or s yard, and are very effective when made up as bordered rugs; that Is, not fitted into the corners of the room, leaving about IS inches or two feet of margin around the entire room. This space may be left bare, and the floor be painted, or it may be cover ed with a breadth of the ingrain filling that is now used in choice low tones of color. This filling" may also be had in imported velvet carpeting, but the ingrain is most used, and is seen with carpets of the finest quality. The lov-toned blue shades and Pompeiian red are most used for filling out the spaces beyond rugs. Crimson tints are avoided, as they do not harnonize with the subdued colors of eastern rugs or of the carpets that initiate them Sometimes an ingrain filling of solid color is made to cover the floor entirely. and then the rich rugs are thrown upon it this is done where great warmth is needed. In country houses Chinese mattinRs of checkered straw some times take the place of the filling as 6 coysr- ing for the floor, and the rugs are then easily used or removed with the changes of the weather.

The modern rugs made in Berlin with plain centres and rich borders are really car pets in one piece. large enough to cover the room. The measure and shape of the room are taken, and the rugs can be woven to or der, fitting the floor in every part. As has already been said, experienced dealers ad- wise people who move about from house to house, and whose small means will not buy valuable rugs, to have carpets of good quail ty made up as rugs, instead of buying the cheap rugs now in the market.
 For handsome rooms the Wilton carpets remain in great favor, both the English and American Wiltons giving excellent service, and their designs being of the best. The moresque Wilton designs are very effective, being woven in new way that twists the yarn, and gives the appearance of chenille. This moresque effect is also seen in the standard body Brussels carpets, and these have all the fine low colors and eastern de- signs shown in the Wiltons, Administers, etc. these are $2 50 yard.
