New Rugs From Old Carpets.

Our upper hall is a passage hall in
antique oak with green and brown
burlap. The carpet on the stairs
leading to it is brown. old yellow and
green. In recarpeting the hall 1t was
our wish to use the same carpet as
on the stairs, but when we wanted to
order It we found that the design
was no longer on the loom and that
It was impossible to get any more of
1t. Nothing else seemed to match in
color or design and we were sadly
perplexed.
At last thought came to us. We
gathered together the Wilton and vel
vet carpets that were so worn and
faded from their latest service In the
laundry that the storage attic
wouldn't take them IN. Even the
rag man wouldn't pay his customary
cents for them. These we sent to a
rug company to have two new rugs
made OF them in sizes Of two and
one-half feet by fourteen feet and
two and one-half feet by Ave feet.
These firms weave any old carpets
you may have into durable rugs and
are highly to be commended. When
our old, faded, worn out, dirty rugs
were returned to us we found them
transformed into two beautiful rugs
of softest color. They were woven
as filler and contained grays, yel-
lows. light browns and an old French
blue. They cost just Sc.
For weaving old carpets into new
rugs am told the ingrains and Brus-
sells are preferable. II you rave any
old carpets about the house do not
be ashamed OF them and throw them
away. Keep them until you need a
new rug. II is also we'll TO tell the
weaver that you want blended color
effect and what the predominating
tone should be. Then, IL your car
pets do not have the requisite colors
the weaver can add the color in new
materials at cost OF eight cents a
yard.-Good Housekeeping.

WHY They Nag Their Husbands.

English husbands have been COM
planning in London newspapers of
their wives running to them with
household troubles. but they have
been less assertive since a courageous
young wife replied to them in the fol-
lowing effective fashion: ''The reason
why women tell their husbands what
they don't want to know is because
they must tell some one. The wife is
locked up in the house all day with
stupid and irritating servants and
trying children. She has no one to
whom she can unburden her mind and
with whom she can discuss these lit

trivial enough. but which, taken to-

lamp Shades Important.

When choosing lamp shades for a
room remember that color is of more
Importance than the material used.
Porcelain and colored glass are often
very satisfactory, but softer and more
pleasing effects are obtained with
shades Of paper or silk. Be sure to
choose a shade which distributes the
light properly, at the same time saw
Ing the eyes from glare. The color
Of the shade should harmonic with
the walls. Red walls reflect red light
best, and green walls are best suited
for green shades. Contrasting colors

QUIETNEss AMID STORM.


Far beneath the noisy waters
OF the raging, tossing sea,
1t is said there flows a current,
Smooth and placid as can be.
No rough waves disturb the flowing
OF that calm and peaceful stream;
All the noise Of tempest raging
Lies az distant as a dream.
So, TO all who listen truly
For the Saviour's loving voice,
Comes that peace that passeth knowl'
edge
And the soul can cen rejoice
When the storm Of life is keenest;
For, beneath the tempest wild
Is the quiet, firm assurance
That the Lord protects His child.
Rest, then. soul, for God gives quiet
To the heart that trusts His will;
Il will never, never leave thee"
Is the promise-then, be still.
