The arrival OF summer in New York
impresses on the ~housekeeper the fact
that Ii Is almost as expensive to keep
fine things as 1t Is to buy them.
Valuable rugs cannot be left on the
floor. Some women put them In charge
of Turkish dealers. who repair them
and store them during the summer n
preserve them from moths. This pre-
caution costs from $25 to $500.
Fur rugs rave to be even more care
fully treated.
No owner OF solid silver keeps II In
her home during the summer without
great apprehension. The cost OF stor-
ing IL depends largely o the safe
deposit vaults or the jeweler selscted,
but is high in any event.

Designers OF furniture are very busy.
1t might seem very simple Tor a furni-
ture maker TO copy any. of the fine
chairs displayed in the museums as ex-
amples of the work OF the great Eng
lish furniture makers and designers,
but the manufacturers are rarely con-
tent with that simple process, nova
days. They demand some note of orig
inality in the design.
I'VE don't merely reproduce Sher-
atom, H~erpelwhtte and the rest Of
them" a salesman told n reporter.
I'VE adapt them TO present day needs.
We add something here and a novelty
there. and In u opinion, produce 4
piece Of furniture much more artistic
and more adapted to present usc.':
