LD.CARPETs.

While it is generally known that old
carpets can be rewoyen into handsome,
serviceable rugs, there are few house
keepers to whom this information may
be of benefit, says the Memphis News
Scimetar.
To begin with, any kind of carpet can
be utilized Those that can be rewOsen
into serviceable rugs that can be used
on both sides are Brussels and ingram.
Carpets that make up on one side only
are yelvets, moquettes, Administers and
Wiltons
Smyrna rugs, when not too much
worn, can be used by combIng with
carpet and adding chenille. This pro
cess is done entirely by hand, so an ex-
ira charge of . cents a square yard
is made, but the result is usually a
beautiful rug.
Brussels and ingram can not be unit
ed in the same rug. They must be
woven separately. To calculate how
many square yards Of rug can be pro-
duced from an old carpet one must
figure as follows:
Six running yards or eight pounds of
Brussels carpet will make one square
NdCu VI IuG. 1iIU HdAIC uluSt NC lIi.%bN
/ for WORKOUT, and threatbare parts.
When such exist one to three yards
more must be added to the amount as
stated above in order to get a rug of
the desired size.
Pieces as small as one inch wide and
twelve inches long can be used. Should
the lengtht Of the old carpet fall short
of the amount necessary for renewing
into a rug of desired size, then the
quantity can be made up by the weaver,
who charges ) cents a pound for carpet
cuttings. which are usually III stock.
This is a convenience.
Another good idea is to send pieces of
any kind Of carpet with the large guam
tity Of the sort desired, because often
it may be woven or possibly exchanged
for weave that would combine to ad-
vantage. Carpets may be shipped just
as they come from the floor. without
beating or other cleaning, as this is
done as soon as it comes into the fac
tory.
Handsome rag rugs can be woven
from old cotton and wooden rags. To
prepare these for weaving the rugs
should be cut into strips an inch wide,
tapping the ends. one over the other,
and sewing down. Next, wind into
balls, 1t requires a pound and a half
to make one square yard.
If the rags are of heavy goods, then
it IS wiser to allow two pounds to one
square yard. The price for weaving
rag rugs is - cents yard if one yard
wide. but if a wider with is desired,
then the cost $50 cents square yard.
Few women. perhaps. know that old
soiled or faded chenille curtains and
draperies can be rewoven into hand
some reversible rugs. but this can be
done at house where the carpets are
undertaken. 1t requires five pounds to
make one square yard which, roughly
estimated, is usually the weight of one
curtain, Rugs from old carpets can be
woven plain or with borders, and with
Hinged ends as the customer wishes.
