announcing that she was prepared to
renOyate rooms at a small cost. This
would lead to other work, such as buy
Ing on commission rugs, furniture, and
SO on.
The repairing of furniture, by the
way Is trade in which men naake
money. and why not women? Many
girls are handy with tools. They also
become adopts in the mysteries OF fur
niture polishing, sandpapering, var
nishing and staining in fancy colors.
One little widow who had no money
to waste recovered her furniture. She
ripped the covers Off slowly, observing
carefully how they were cut and put
together, and she measured the new
material and put it on exactly the
same way.
A neighbor who noticed the fresh
appearance of the room asked the
widow If she had sent her chairs to tile
nearest city to be recovered. and she
bewailed that the expressage was quite
an expense. When she learned the
truth she gave the widow an order ON
the spot. A woman can ask 81 a day
for work of this sort. OF course the
materials are provided. Or IL she
works at home she can make a SEIZED
ule of prices and send it to each house.
In this repairing business there Ii
also a chance for commissions. Inte-
rior decoration, in fact, can be made
most profitable In a small place.
The manufacture Of rag carpet is
being revived. The strips Of material
are dyed in soft tones Of green, red
and yellow and blue, and the mats are
woven In Indian designs.

money in this work. She makes these
woven rugs out of strips of old carpet
supplied by the customer, and she sup
plies additional material at so much
per pound She charges for dyeing,
and the price for weaving depends on
the design. MAUD ROBINSON.
