New Workers as Movers.

Carpets are going out very rapidly
said a large dealer. I'm fact, they
have been going out of use In New
York for several years and may be
said to be almost thing of the past.
I'VE used to see ten times as many
yards of carpet as rugs. The figures
are now reversed. or course, we still
sell carpets, but they are not made
up to At rooms The carpets of today
are made up in squares or rectangles
o cover parts of rooms Around these
dig patches of floor covering rugs are
~rranged so as to cover the remainder
of the floor.
'For the most part buyers con-
fine themselves to rugs. There is great
artistic convenience in this method;
but II isn't the artistic possibilities
presented by rugs that have caused
them to crowd out carpets.
Comparatively few people in Man
haitian live In their own houses, and
few expect to occupy the same quar-
ters for any considerable time. The
moving germ Is abroad, and though
family may stay fer years in one fiat
they want to be ready always to moye
out when the lease expires, the jani-
tor becomes offensive or the landlord
raises the rent. To have carpets cut
to At the rooms and nailed down would
be inconvenient II one was to fit on
short notice.
Landlords have taken the rug
habit into account, too, and nearly
everywhere you find floors prepared
for rugs. In the cheaper fats they
are stained and vanished and in the
better ones they are of hardwood or
are polished and oiled.
I'VE sell ten old time carpets In
Brooklyn to one in Manhattan, because
over there people are more stable; be-
sides, there are many small houses in
isrooklyn that belong to their occu-
pants"
