CLOTHES TOMORROW.
Veteran Carriers Distinguished by
Gold and Silver Stars on
Their Sleeves.

The veteran letter carriers in the local
service hail with delight the order just
issued which permits them to don their

been a bit OF tax on these grizzled

paign hats which have been worn dur
ing the summer will be laid aside for the
gray regulation carrier caps. There will
be no change in any other respect.
On the sleeve of many carriers star
is embroidered. and on some of them
two stars. They are black or red silver
or gold. according to the length of serV-
Ice of the carrier. Those who have seen
five years of service have one black
star; those who have seen ten years two
black stars: fifteen years, one red star;
twenty years. two red stars; twenty
five years. one silver star; thirty years.
two silver stars; thirty-five years. one
gold star, and forty years. two gold
stars. Beyond forty years no provision
has been made.
There but few carriers in the local
service entitled to wear a gold star. But
who are entitled to silver stars. some
one and some two. D. l.. Berkeley, who
was appointed a letter carrier in April.

PERSIAN RUGS TO BE SOLD.
Exquisite Display Of Oriental
Weaves at Sloan & Co.'s Shops.

The rugs of Persia have long been
famed. For centuries they have been
regarded as the finest in the world 1t is
a strange fact, however. that 1t has only
been of late<years that Americans have
come to buy them in any quantity.
For years the American trade in the
product of the rug looms of the orient
was confined to few periodical ship
ments in small, unimportant quantities.
1t was with great difficulty that people Of
wealth and taste in other lines could be
induced to use them.
The standards of art being universal it
was natural for the lovers of true art
in this country to be attracted in time by
the quaint vet marvellous beauty of the
colors and designs of the oriental rugs.
Today they are finding their way into
many American homes every year.
Sloan & Co. auctioneers of this city,
have done more than any other concern
to make the oriental rug popular in
Washington. Their sales of this wonder
fully beautiful commodity have intro
duced it to the people of the District and
created a taste that is now rapidly grow
Ing.
oriental rug today, however. The Euro
pean market and the better American
market have begun to exhaust the
sources of the rugs. They have become
even more valued than ever and are
sought after everywhere.
Mr.. Sloan, speaking Of the growth of
the oriental rug market, said yesterday
he had known cases of wealthy men
declaring they would not accept a whole
lot of Persian rugs as gift, and later
hearing those same men say these rugs
were the most valuable things in their
art collections.
At the outset a new collection of an
tique rugs reaching the American mar xet
would create a new demand, and forth
with collectors would ransack all the UNI
frequented corners of the oriental prov
inces to secure the choicest pieces of the
kind, and for a time there would come
shipments of rugs that delighted the low
ers of oriental art with their beautiful
sheen. gorgeous color schemes and the
soft tints of sunset skies. Thus it is
what ten years ago were articles of COM
merce are today to be sought as curiosi-
ties and antiques, such as Bokharas,
KAYAKS karabaghs. Sennas, Kirman-
shahs Tabrizes. Cashmeres, Ispahans.
Khorassans, Sarapes, camePs hair, trans.
ETC. India also gives many rare and
valuable examples.
Sloan & Co. present in their catalogue
of the "Boyajian'' sale a large collection
of these beautiful fabrics to be sold at
auction the coming week.
