value of oriental floor coverings was
gained at the centennial celebration Of
1876. The leaven has been diffused
and has increased ever since until it
has created a widespread interest in
the history and manufacture of these
rugs, with an intelligent desire for their
ownership.
America may take distinctive posi-
ton in rug weaving from the produc-
tons of the Indians in the west. The
value of their work becomes better
known and more appreciated each
year. The Navajo race produces the
best examples of rugs, and it is said
they learned their art from the Pueb-
los. The blaze of color with which the
Indians adorn themselves appears also
in their rugs, as their original use was
q blanket or dress. The patterns vary
from simple parallel lines to complex
figures that picture, as those of the
oriental weaves, the legends and my
thology of their tribes. One Of the
practical points Of the Navajo rug is
its imperviousness to water, it being
beaten solidly together in the loom.
The rag carpet of our early settlers
has been revived in an artistic form by
using strips of cloth dyed in different
tones of one color, with occasional bits
Of corduroy or velvet. Another recent
industry is a rug weaving settlement
In New England, in which the rich
tones and fine designs of antique rugs
from the east are closely copied.
The Japanese jute and cotton rugs
meet temporary need where effect is
desired without any very lasting quail
ity. The foreign dhurry rugs of cotton
are. original in design and unusual in
color. Though recently brought to
America, they already find imitators.
Our domestic smyrna rugs serve the
need that is so often demanded by a
slender pocketbook. The designs are
rough copies of the Turkish, sometimes
woven through to make the rug reversi-
BILE.
A grade higher and with increasing
improvement in the color and designs
are the rugs made in strips of wilton
or administer that do not show the
scanning.
Beginning with the hall, one may Sc
lect from the orient any of the Turco-
man rugs, with their dark, rich color
ing, heavy pile and shaggy surface,
and a hamadan Persian) strip on the
stairs.
For the living room are any Of the
small rugs from the Caucasian family
or the lighter weight soumachs, some
times enormously called cashmeres.
Wilton or brussels carpets in rug de-
signs and colors are also serviceable in
the living room and the library.
The feraghan Persian) rug in its
large size and with its charac teristic
chintz figure repeated all over is the
ideal choice in a dining room. It's
cheaper substitutes are the three piece

American make, the English brussels

It would be far better to give the Gu

sum Of the customs duties on their i'm

Our tariff, in short, is the main factor in
preventing the great increase Of manufac-

Exactly! What we need to set all

tariff, when men dared not strike, but
hundreds of thousands would have
been glad to have obtained work at 30
cents per diem, while two millions
couldn't obtain employment at 40 cents
per day.
