RAG CARPET THE FASHION.
Society Has Rcsurrected It Along with
Antique Furniture.

And still another OLD fashion is i'e>
ing revived. There has been a return
to favor Of old clocks, and helsteads,
tables and chairs and wall papers. I'M
til it seemed as though there was NJ
accessory to an Old-fashioned house
that has not had its counterpart put
upon the modern market, with very
often a pretty story attached to prove
it an heirloom.
There Is one thing, hoWeye:'. that ur.-
til very recently has remained in the
oblivion to which it was consigned
years ago. With all the fad for things
old-fashioned, the homely but service

even II they are without family and
neighborly associations. This part>'l-
lar manufacturer uses samples Of cur
tains and upholsteries which have
served their purpose as samples to
make his rag carpets.
Some Of them are woven with a
striped effect, just as all the old-fash-
toned ones were seen, the light and
dark stripes alternating with more OF
less regularity, while others showing
the more elaborate results OF modern
machinery are woven in checks ahou
two inches square. In red and black
and other colors, producing a vivid
contrast, these checks when seen At !
