Floor Coverings from American Looms

We credit Europe with the origin and
! development OF all true art. but1n reality
! the Orient is the Mother OF Art. Orien-
tai rugs are works of masters-"they are
genius materialized." The charm of a
rug lies not only in its artistic value but
| it Is a substantial floor covering.
! Rugs from the Orient take us back
! centuries in the details worked into them.
American designers of floor covering
have proved worthy successors to those
who have inspired them. And the Amer
lean mills have accurately reproduced the
valued antique coverings and endowed
them with the rich colors. durability and
texture known formerly only to Oriental
rugs.
A Wilton rug in Oriental pattern shows
many colors, and like the original from
which it Is copied. the cOlors sparkle like
so many jewels. yet the effect is subdued.

The woman who cares" knows that
she is not correctly clothed-that she
has not the feeling of being alto
gether correct unless everything she
wears is in keeping. Possibly she
would confess to giving more thought
to her e1tremities than to any other
part of her wardrobe. The extreme
of service, style and comfort is spelt
in new footwear.
Made in America" is a familiar
term in shoedom, for American shoes
have always won first rank in the af-
fections not only with the American
woman, but also with her foreign
cousins. This season our manufac-
turers have gained fresh laurels, for
they have exerted themselves to the
utmost to provide novelties both in
material and style.

Now We have the martial note sound
ed in the trimming of high boots. 1t
IS rather unusual to talk of high shoes
at spring time. but strangely enough
there is a strong inclination to show
many inches OF wclI-shud feet under
the abbreviated skirts.
White High Shoes are worn to a lin

and that the merchandise will prove to be

The care bestowed upon the selection
of the rugs includes that the rug must
be such that the pictures, furnishings and
drapcrics will show off 10 the best of
their ability. The edge Of the rugs should
be placed parallel with the edge Of the
floor. The days are bygone when it was
thought that rugs placed in odd or angu-
lar positions. thrown carelessly upon the
floor, gave coy effect. but that con-

changes this spring are not radical. they

BOUNDING OF DEER OPPOSED
BY HUNTERS.

From every county in the State
where wild deer abound petitions de-
manding the defeat of any bill that
would permit hunting deer with dogs
have been filed with the New Jersey
Fish and Game Commission. These
petitions make a combined protest long
enough to encircle the Senate chamber
in the State House when these bills
come UP for action of the lawmakers.
The petitions show that the great ma
jority of hunters are we'll pleased
with the present law, under which
every man who goes into the New
Jersey woods after deer has an equal
chance with every other hunter.
Along the Upper Delaware valley,
the hunters claim the deer would be
driven across the river into Pennsyl-
vania by the hounds, and cite the re-
cent last where a fine buck was killed
by dogs along the river bank near
Titusville, almost within sight of the
dome of the State Capitol. In the
Northern counties the petitions as
sert the deer would be driven into
New York, where game wardens of
the Empire State would kill every dog
that crossed the boundary on a deer's
trail. In the ocean-front counties,
gunners say, the fear with which deer
regard hounds is shown by the fact
that a bayman at Waretown recent
ly Melted a fine doe in the bay, the an
imal having been attacked and chas-
ed into the water by dogs. In a SIM
liar last last year a big buck was
picked up by a fisherman's crew three
miles at sea. Burlington county
sportsmen have entered one of the
strongest protests against the hound
ing law by showing that, while the
present law protects does and fawns,
these would become the first victims
of a pack of ferocious hounds.
