Kashmir Rugs.


\ friends came in recently to ask for
nv congratulations on the purchase of
an antique Kashmir rug. She felt that
she had gained a treasure and that be-
cause il was an Oriental rug it would
wear for the rest of her life. She did
not seem to realize that while the knotted
Oriental rugs are improved by age be
cause the pile, in wearing down. brings

Kashmir rugs are woven in quite a diff
ferent way and are little more improved
by wears of wear than a piece of ingram
carpet would be. They fade. to be sure.
but not always to their advantage. and
they possess no gloss to be developed
The two weaYes of rugs ought never to
be COMPOUNDED as their qualities and
capabilities are quite different. This is
a very common mistake. and one that
often leads on the novice in rug buying
to a severe disappointment. Nj. H.
Apr0pOs this hint. an expert on rugs
SAYS: 1T is true that a KaShmir rug
never attains the sheen or the gloss that
rugs woven with Il pile acquire by age,
but equally valuable is the indescrbably
soft harmony of colors which age gives
to kashmir rugs. a good antique Kash-
mir rug will wear as long as any rug
with a pile. l would congratulate any
one who is fortunate enough to possess
a fine antique kaShmir rug. They are
very rare now and many times more
valuable than five or six years ago

One Mothers Method.

Sunday school teachers and the moth
ers of the children who attend the Sun
day school can work together effectively
for the good of the children far better
if only they knew one another. And the
superintendent of one primary depart
ment had the happy inspiration to give
a mothers tea occasionally. to which
the teachers and mothers are invited.
musical programme is rendered,
helpful talk given, and simple refresh
mentS served. The acquaintance thus
formed is appreciated by both, and as n
result they work in harmony with each
other.
One mothers special aid is to see that
her three children thoroughly know the
Golden Text for each Sunday Their
teachers offer various inducements for
perfect recitation, regular attendance,
and donation of money. as follows:
On a piece of light-gray cardboard
eight inches square, three circles are
drawn. one inside the other. The largest
is called the Attendance Circle the
next the Golden Text Circle" and the
smallest the Penny Circle" y sufii-
cient number of diameters We're drawn
through these circles to mark off the
Sundays in each quarter. Each section
was dated. and if the child was present
a gilt star was placed in the first circle.
For perfect recitation of the text, under
the same date heart was affixed in
place, and the penny-otfering earned Il
smaller star for the inner circle.
At the end of the quarter the child
has pretty keepsake that he will value,
as the teacher gives each child its own
square, with a pink or blue ribbon at
tached for n hanger
Now for the mothers part: She cuts
slips of pink tinted water color paper
and prints on them in plain black let
tering the text for the coming Sunday
and attaches it by a hanger to the foot
of the bedstead. 1t hangs there in plain
sight of the children TO see as soon as
they open their eyes in the morning. and
they will repeat it to themselves at least
seven times during the week.
This mother does not think that this
is all of her duty, by any means, for TO
young children the words of the text will
not have much meaning unless explained
very clearly. This need she meets by
reading over the lesson and the text with
the children ON Sunday evening, then
explaining it as thoroughly as She can.
This fixes the text in the child's mind.
But during the week she makes il an
object to bear the text in mind herself,
and any new information she gathers Is
given to them at the twilight hour, usu~
ally, or perhaps at the bedside along with
the good night kiss.
Her little talks are short, never weari-
some or preachy, and the truths she
takes good care TO impart in this little
| story way she has, are seed sown upon
| good soil
She realizes that to be thoroughly in
/ accord with the teachers method she
must in "A measure at least have the
same source of information, so she is a

er's Lesson Quarterly.
