which serve alike for a couch covering
and for rugs. These blankets range in
price from 81 to $500 The finest speci-
mems are old bayettas. which are very
scarce and expensive. as no duplicates
are produced in the present day. The
eolors used in these. especially the red,
were obtained from cloth brought into
Mexico by the Spanish and sold to the
padres. who. in turn sold it TO the In
dams at a handsome profit This fine
cloth was raveled and the thread woven
into blankets.
1t will thus be seen that the cost of
the materials was large in the begin
ming, and as it is long since any of
this variety has been made the bayet-
tas are quite rare. But they are very
durable and the colOrs are absolutely
unfadinR Then there are the more
common and less expensive blankets
woven by the Navajo squaws of the
present day. These Indians raise the
sheep. make their own yarn and dye it
with colors obtained from herbs and
minerals A bright reddish orange or
flame color enters largely into the color
ing: also scarlet black. white and blue.
The skill with which the savages blend
the colors and weave the intricate pat
terms is wonderful and curious. Every
thread is woven in and out the warp
on the rough. loom by hand and pressed
down tightly with a little stick until the
rug is as stiff as a board.
For a couch covered with one of these
blankets there are sofa pillows made of
sheepskins in red. green, orange and all
the shades of tan and brown. Some are

are worked in beads. so that you may
