As a rule, white and gold is the best

may relieve the plain green and white

are also well chosen in white and gold,
with permissible touches of red or
green. The small soup plate not only
possesses the advantage of being much
daintier in suggestion than the old
nfne-inch variety, but also allows a
better appreciation of the decorated
rim Of the service plate. Fish plates
may be in the natural decoration OF
live fish, with sparkling waves and
aquatic plants, or in simple conven-
tionalized designs, in green and white,

Is this velvety appearance that rug
dealers have resorted to various means
to produce this gloss artificially.
Dampening the surface with a solution

One should therefore favor a rug

4 still more damaging practice, re
sorted to both in the Orient and here
is the so-called washing process. New
rugs, in the vivid hues of freshly dyed
woods, are stretched on inclined boards
over which chlorine water Is permit

In soft tones, but so weakens the fibre
of the rug as to cut it's lifetime in two.
A washed rug can easily be detected,
as upon examination it will be found
that only the surface Of the nap is in

ing deeper in the fibre and upon the
reason have been exposed to sea water,
will fall to pieces quickly under every
day wear, as the chlorine from the

cane or wire implement being particu-
larly injurious. The carpet sweeper
and vacuum cleaner, for every day,
and the steam or naptha process twice
yearly, will keep rugs and carpets In
good condition-and in what they add
to the life of the fabric will more than
make up for the cost. In the Orient,
soiied rugs are scrubbed with a heavy
lather of pure CASTLE soap, rubbed in
with the grain OF the rug, never
against it. They are rinsed with
slightly warm water, the same tenn
perature as the first lather, until the
water runs clear, then hung in a
shady place to dry.
Many of the handsomest OF hand
wrought Oriental patterns are now
duplicated in machine-made domestic
veIvets and brussels, affording really
tasteful floor coverings. There are
even those who prefer the domestic
rug, as It is more regular, more per-
feet and lies aatter upon the floor.
Plain toned, or two-toned hand tuft-
ed rugs, are also much favored by dec
orators. They equal the Orfentals in
wearing qualities, and in price-but
they are exceedingly difficult to care
for and keep clean.
Even the least expensive of rugs
and carpets, produced nowadays, are

coloring, and wearing qualities have

tables nowadays the service is quite
similar, in this respect, to that of
a public eating place, and while
this may be most convenient and grace
full for the formal dinner, there is
something infinitely more homelike
about service at the hand of the host,
himself, from capacious tureen or we'll
filed platter. This custom. happily, Is
not entirely obsolete, it being adhered
to by some of the best families.
Among the more pleasing innova-
tions in table dressing is the fashion
of presenting each course in a service
Of different design and coloring. This
allows for a series Of artistic studies
in pretty china, tastefully arranged.
and is a relief from the monotony OF
the large dinner set in one design
throughout. 1t may also prove a great
convenience to the woman who finds
it impossible to match the pattern of
her china and keep a full set, in per-
feet condition. by replacing breakages
with new pieces. It offers an oppor-
tunity to utilize odd single course
services, which may have come into
the housewives possession as gifts.
Good taste suggests a certain range
of color for the different services,
