CHOOSING RUGS.

Next to giving a woman a hat for
a present there Is nothing more dan
gerous than buying rug for her.
A husband has long heard his wife
sigh for Turkish rug. They could
not afford it and both knew it..
AT last, getting an unexpected fee,
the husband decided to surprise his
wife. He generously took the whole
check for a rug, but-he selected it
himself.
The rug came home and was I'M
rolled for the wife's admiration It
was one Of those garish coloring8
that shrieked with everything in the
room.
The alternative was hurting a de-
lighted husband and being tortured
every time she saw that floor cover
ing. Being a good wife, she chose
the latter and spent the rest OF her
life with her eyes on the ceiling
when in that particular room.
Yet the pity of it, How much bet
ter to have given her the money or
taken her down the street for lunch
and landed her in a rug store. The
surprise would have been as great;
the result happier,
Even a woman can slip up in rug
buying. Not only should she see
the rug, but she should see it in the
room where it is to lie

being made closer to the Cairo trade

Gently assumed control of the Cairo
