Of course, plated rugs do not offer much In
the way of originality, but with crocheted rugs
one has a free lance, and the more unusual or
intricate they are the better and the more credit
is due the designer.
One woman with an inventive mind expert
mented with ball Of MANILA rope and GRO
cheted material The result of her scheme was
so satisfactory that she continued to experiment.
She covered MANILA rope with chenille weft that
was purchased from house where such things
are especially made. This weft when crocheted
around the rope made very stout support and
prevented it from slipping over the hardwood
floor.
Strips of flannel an inch wide are also employed
for the weft and are very effective. Hers was
made from strips of Shaker flannel in brown and
tan, and red, green and cream flannel make very

We both agree that gown that tries to run

in other words, looks neither high nor low, is
always in danger of appearing dowdy, and also
that picturesque style is more easily disposed

A few inches from the bottom, tack is nailed
into the strip and is then laid smoothly on the
surface until it reaches the pencil line at the top
of the board previously made Here 1t is then
fastened with tack. A twist is given and an
other tack is added to the material half an inch
farther on the line. A second strip near the
bottom of the board is held in place by tacking
it, the end being left to hang.
Repeat the process until the board is thus COW
cred with the necessary warp strips on which the
foundation is to be made.
Take an inch strip Of contrasting color and
fasten it triAe below the line on the upper left
hand corner Of the board Now comes the pro
cess Of darning, simply starting under the first
strip of the warp, going under and over until
all the warp strips have been covered.
Keep the woof smooth and free from twisted
edges and as near to the top of the board as pos
sible 80 that it will be firmly woven. After con
tnuing in this manner for five or nine inches
white may be introduced to form border. Use
several strips until the band is two three
inches wide, then employ the colored strips until
three inches are covered, when another white
border may be introduced.
When as much of the rug Is woven ex
tends between the two rows Of tacks, remove
| them and move up the woven portion. Repeat
the process Of tacking in the beginning and
continue weaving. OF course, any length rug can
be made, but from experience, that meas
ures from to feet will be found in better
proportion
| The border must be carefully measured so that
it comes out an equal distance at each end of the

find it takes less sugar, and at the same time loses

The bath is little tiresome to keep in good
condition unless great care is taken. When the
enamel is dirty and discolored, take some parafin
dip piece of flannel in it, and keep rubbing the
bath gently until all dirt is removed; then wash
with warm soap and water. Zinc goods can be
made to look like in this way. Paraffin is
useful in many ways and is of wonderful assist
ance to the housewife while waging her war

A delicious way of serving grape fruit for break
fast is with sherry and powdered sugar Cut the
grape fruit in half without peeing, and with a
silver spoon loosen the pulp little from the outer

tough and fbrous. cut it out. Sprinkle with
sugar and favor with tablespoonful of sherry
Oranges are delicious served in nexactly the same
way. They may also be served in simple lobes
with the bitter white skin removed from them.
A few lobes often more acceptable to begin a
breakfast with than whole orange. They look
more ornamental if served in a tiny basket cut
out Of the orange peel.

DESCRIPTION OF ILLUSTRATED RUGS.
Figure 1 shows the method of commencing the
rug The rows Of strands to be braided are fast
ened to board with thumb-tacks and the con-
trasting colors joined just when needed. The
ends are fastened securely, before the tacks are
removed, and afterwards very carefully sewed in
place. Only section may be done at time, un-
less the rug is very small, and these are after
wards sewed together.
Figure shows rug in which the braiding
goes crosswise instead of lengthwise. This is eff
fective in indigo blue with ecru centre
Figure is of combination of different har-
monizing shades of red with white
Figure shows another arrangement of blue
and ecru; dark and light shades of blue are used,
and the ends finished with heavy cotton
fringe, which may be of ecru to match the colors
in the rug. MARJORIE.

The line in reality is a sister line to
the Line of Fate and often acts in its
stead So to find it upon any type of hand is
always propitous, for it denotes success brlliancy
and wealth. However, the student must never
neglect to consider the type Of hand when study
ing this line. When it is round on a comic, phlo-
sophie or psychic hand it is not near as powerful
in Its meaning as when found square or
spatulate hand. This rule applies particularly
(as mentioned heretofore) to the Head, Fate and
Sun lines Therefore 1t is often called sister line
No matter on what type Of hand the Sun line Is
found, 1t always indicates taste that is keen
ly aliye to the artistic However. the rest of the
hand must show signs before we can accurately
state whether this will ever materialize. More
over, the possessors Of this line always have
cheerful and sunny natures, regardless Of their
trials and troubles
/ might add that the Sun line is seldom found
when the Fate line is missing

are used, but comparatively few women can al
ford to use silks in this manner. Sometimes they
do for portieres.
Many or few colors are used; and simple or
elaborate patterns followed as in any straight

the pattern soon grows into magic beauty. 1t
is quick work and you will find it diverting and
profitable pastime when sitting among the vari"
colored rags.
GETTING DOWN TO BUSINESS.
In weaving the perpendicular lines are called
the warp, and the horizontal the weft 1t is
customary to have white rags for the warp and
colored ones for the weft, though this rule Is
sometimes reversed.
A board forty inches long will answer for
weaving any article yard or less in width
and is also of convenient size to handle, The
board should be very smooth and sandpapered
on sides and edges, that the material will not
catch.
Draw a line across the top of the board an
inch from the edge. Cut strip of flannel twice
as long as you wish the final length of the rug
to be.

tile woman has always taken keen
delight in applied arts and by personally engag-
ing in them stimulates similar interest among
her subjects, especially the peasantry, many OF
whom earn their livelihood in this manner.
And in great measure too there is demand
for such articles by all loyal subjects who do
not care to engage in such work for themselves.
Rug-madng in America dates back to our Puri-
tan ancestors, SO that these unpretentious but
durable specimens Of early American handiwork
have been known to US through generations.
In the revival of antique and modern arts,
rug making by hand and loom has come conspic-
uously to the front, possibly because no great
skill is required
In old-fashioned farm houses you see the best
examples Of these quaint floor coverings, that
harmonic SO well with the settees. huge post
ers, glass knobbed bureaus or secretaries.
There has been quite demand in the last few
years for these rugs for modern country houses.
Women and even children who have engaged in
their making find the work quite easy and a
pleasant pastime.
PLATED AND CROCHETED RUGS.
Handmade rugs are both plated and crochet
ed, and are fashioned into any shape the work
er's imagination may dictate. Some are round,
Others square or oval. A border of plain ma
terial makes very attractive finish, throwing
the pattern in a bolder contrast.
