TIME Oriental rug is not strictly
modern invention, but the prices

The Oriental rug was originally woven
bv hand in some far of corner OF the
desert by a family and ITS descendants
1t was woven out of camels hair or silk
in fantastic Oriental designs which the
designer. carried in his head and altered
whenever he had a lapse OF memory.
The Oriental rug was the most useful
thing about the Oriental family. When
ever a family set up housekeeping 1t DC
gan by weaving a rug. This took from
six months to 10 years, according to the
rug and the family. When the rug was
finished it was used for a carpet, a bed
a saddle. a windbreak, a table, wall, a
wheat bin and for many other useful
purposes. After an Oriental rug has
been mellowed by several generations
Tor such use, 1t becomes soft and beau
tiful and can be smelled for several rods
on damp, muggy day.
Some years ago people began to import
these rugs to America. They are now
very popular. If a rug Is treated kindly
