Linoleu1n Best.

Experience seems to point to some
sort OF oilcloth-linoleums, preferably:
and there Is now to be had lnoleums that
have the pattern stamped all the way
through, 20 that there Is no wearing off
of the pattern TIL the fabric itself Is
gone. This is, Of course. expensive, and
If in place of 1t one must buy oilcloth,
or the ordinary linolcum it Is wise 20
select O small call -over" pattern or fig
{urc. When the large figured oilcloth
commences to wear, It Is difficult to
match worn places with the bits that
are left over, and the large figures al
ways look worse when they once begin
( to grow dim, than the small, all over
patterns. slnnll-patterncd nnoleum
has been In use OH a much used floor
for over nine years, and while the figure
has worn. Off In places, 1t Is still quite
respectable and may be used for some
