geous products of Navajo looms
promise to figure extensively among
the wedding gifts of many of this sea

stopped the importation of Turkish
and Persian rugs. and 1t Is predicted
that Navajo Indian blankets, which are

become fad with connoisseurs who,

to be one OF the rarest of its kind.
The gift was unique in its genuine
Americanism, for 1t was woven by an
original American. on an original
American loom, from wool sheared
from Navajo sheep, bred and reared
on the Navajo reservation. and colored
with the vegetable dyes which only
Navajo sQuaws know how to make-a
singularly appropriate gift for the
bride Of an American president.
Navajo blankets range in value from
a few dollars for the common kind

$500 and upwards for the stunning
fabrics woven by expert and famous
weavers only for head chiefs. Tho
latter are hard to find, and their value
