COSTLY GIFT FOR UNCLE SAM,
Gem Studded Rug, Worth $4,000. Pre-.
sented to the White House..


What is said to be one Of the most
costly gifts to the nation by an lndi-
vidual was recently accepted by Presi-
dent Roosevelt at the White House,
Fl. II. Topakyan, a wealthy Armenian
connoisseur and Il personal friend Of
the president, presented an imperial
silk jeweled Persian rug. said to be the
finest in texture and weave In the
world.
The rug. which Is valued at $4,000.
contains twenty-four square feet Of
unblemished Persian silk 1t Is stud
ded with strings Of sapphires, rubies.
emeralds and turquoises. surrounded
by ropes of pearls, causing the color
design, which is modelled after the In.
terlor Of Turkish mosque, to run into
delicate shades Of rose, green and no.
rizon blue. The whole effect IL one Of
undesirable softness and richness.
The rug, which Is hand woven, rep
resents the labor of an entire Persian
family for five years. 1t was originally
intended for use as a wall tapestry in
the palace Of the shah Of Persia, but It
struck Mr.. Topakyan's fancy Oh one Of
his trips to the orient, and after o
great deal Of trouble he succeeded in
purchasing 1t and bringing it 70 Amer.
lea. A framework Of mahogany has
been built around the rug, and 1t may
be used as a hanging tapestry In the
White House reception room.
