ARTISTIC RAG RUGS.
Pretty and inexpensive Floor Cover
iDEs.

Pretty and inexpensive Floor Cover
iDGs.
The rugs are woven 81 inches wide
and vary from yard and quarter to
yard and half in length. In putting
the warp into the loom spaces are left
vacant, five threads in and five left out,
SO that the weaving throws up the rugs
in a looser manner than in the ordinary
weaving. But the beauty of the rugs
is in the selection of the colors Of which
they are woven. They are "hlt-and-
miss" but in each rug are put only such
colors as will really harmonic.
One has a peculiarly rich, dark
effect. In its composition are many
shades of red, brown, green and dark
blue. The rags are all wool, there are
absolutely no light colors, not even
bright scarlet, though there are several
shades of cardinal and crimson. The
rags are cut and thoroughly mixed be-
fore any are sewed, so that the blend
may be good. # even one rag is laid
down which "jars" with the others it
is removed.
There are many light colors, which,
though beautiful in themselves, cheap
en- the effect of richer colors. These
are gathered together, carefully sorted
to avoid inharmonious shades and made
into a separate rug. The result is
blending of warm grays, soft pinks and
blues and delicate cream-tints which
rival Fl beauty many of the handsome
faint-hued art squares.
The scheme for the next one was sug-
gested by an Administer rug, in which
dark bronzy greens formed ground
work for garlands of pale pink roses.
One would have said from the sublime
to the ridiculous if one had read how
my thoughts few from that exquisite
piece of tapestry to my old green tea
gown. But before long I was in pos
session of a rug which in point of color
ing is not far behind its aristocratic
model. An analysis of the ingredients
of this rug shows the old dark green
nuns yelling tea-gown, various odd
scraps of green to vary the shading,
the old-rose cashmere when hao peen
the front of the tea-gown and few bits
of pale pink cashmere to form the
high lights of the picture. The hit-and-
miss was not sufficient for the entire
rug, so at each end is band of the dark
green and at the extreme end band Of
black. The result is one of the most
beautiful rugs of the collection.
For a blue room there is one OF all
shades of blue mixed with white, much
of the white in this being cotton. A
darker one is of blue and light gray.
For use over a carpet in which green
and brown prevail these colors alone are
used, as many shades as possible of
each being secured. - Washington

out Of the heads Of naval officers. Prob
