Pictures from the Loom
Classic Weavings Vie with Products of TIN e
Brush at Metropolitan Museum.

There are several things at the Metropoli-
tan Museum of Art that are calculated to
put the Tenth Commandment in danger
with persons having artistic tastes and
limited incomes, but the loan exhibition of
early Oriental rugs now TO be seen in one
Of the galleries of the new wing Is one of
the hardest strains that institution has put
on the minds of the virtuous. Probably the
museum itself would not mind owning
them, for the possession of so rare a lot
OF rugs of the fifteenth, sixteenth and
seventeenth centuries would put 1t far be-
yond any American museum in this respect.
Nearly every large European museum has
fine collection of these classic Weavings,
but while this country is by no means poor
in them, here they are mostly in private
hands. and only the generosity of these in
dividuals has enabled the museum to give
the people of New York this treat.
The room where the rugs are shown is
the one in which the Whistler exhibit was
placed last spring, and a strong sense of
contrast it gives visitors who last saw the
room with that exhibit in 1t to find the
works of that most modern artist replaced
by these marvellous pictures from the past.
Pictures they are, though from the hands
of artists whose tool was the loom, and
they possess a personal quality which any
one familiar with modern rugs only would
not dream of finding in thing compact of
threads. There is only one melancholy
side of the riot Of lovely colorings in the
rug room. in wing E-it tells one how a
great art can, through the desire TO pro-

hear some man who is going off on a trip

the offer merely because he likes her and
ignoring the risk of her not knowing how

and long curved leaves, palmettes, con-
ventionalZed fruit motives and graceful
arabesques are shown. Most of these so
called Polish rugs are on the floor of the
gallery, there not being room enough on
the walls for the whole Of the exhibit, but
really the floor seems too common place
for such exquisite creations. Made of silk,
these rugs have a dclicacy which the others
do not possess. Some have threads of gold
and silver interviewer; all are in colors at
once so gay and so soft so vivid and so
tender, that they nave a look of the spring
time. of young blooming fields.
1t Is an odd reason DR.. VaIentiner gives
for the origin of the application of the term
Poionaise TO these Persian rugs of the
early seventeenth century. 1t seems that
several of them were shown at the Paris
exhibition in 1878 by Prince Czartoriski.

LIFE INSURANCE FOR DOGS.

The people OF Frankfort Germany. have
thought Of a beautiful plan for making
money. They have started a company TO
insure the lives of dogs. Henceforth when
a Frankforter gets hard up he has only
to purchase dog with quarrelsome dis
position. insure it's life for a good round
amount and turn it loose in the neighbor-
hood of some dog that has a better fight
ing grip than his own. If the Frankfort
ers can escape the notice OF humane So
cieties and of dog lovers who might con-
slider this insurance scheme mean trick
the friend OF man, they may make a
goodly profit out OF their pets.
