How to Dye a Rug.

Sometimes there is a rug or carpet
that would be quite acceptable save
for the fact that II is faded or that
its color does not harmonize with the
place where you wish to use II. Some
times a carpet of plain color shows
its spotted condition so that II is prac-
tically useless before IT has spent half
it's normal lifetime. For the woman
with a few grains of will power and
modertely strong arm. the task OF
dyeing such a rug or piece OF carpet
is not difficult. and the price is no
more than that of package of dye,

dye problem, still remains a dime or SO.

should be taken not to soak the carpet

reasons for this. One is that the wild

round bodied type. Another reason is,

Zorn is all viyacity and finds peculiar,
delight in the use of line: Cameron is,
more contemplative, and his works de-.
rive their greatest charm through the
massing of light and shadow and sur

a painter and etcher of figures: Cam
eron gives his time to making city

themes and occasionally landscapes.
They are both great, and it is good to

the work of the Brooklyn Society Of
Etchers. This exhibition comprises
about 14O prints and includes works
by etchers not only residing in Greater

as Maine and as far south as this city.
Among those represented in this exht--
bition are George Senseney and Everett

that our National Gallery will be con-

permanent national collection. 1t does
not burden the institution with works
it distributes the heneficence Of the

country during a probationary period.
Mr. Rangers interest in the National

close friend. In fact. it was Mr.. Ran

1t is true that prosperity was ram
pant and wages high, but the cost of
living was greater than ever before in
the history of this country. and it was
not the psychological moment for dress
makers to ask enormous prices for ap-
parel.
1t is true, they have their own trou-
bles; the American women demand
styles that have originated in France,
and the dressmakers who went to
Paris in August for inspiration and for
French models were asked prices that
Marie Antoinette and Catherine de
Medici would have refused to pay. They
felt compelled to pay them, however.
and when they came back to this coun-
try they tried to get tee original price

Velvet Is everywhere. Don't have II
for a street suit: that's all. In evening
gowns 1t is lavishly used. The demand
for trains has brought it into general
use Even the woman who does not
have velvet gown and who insists on
practicing economy by still wearing
her short frock of satin or tulle that
belonged to last spring compromises
with the new fashion by adding a
| train of velvet at the waist line or Just
below the shoulder blades.
1t is very good scheme. this. There
is not enough change in the silhouette
of evening gowns to cast the ones OF
last year into outer darkness. Satin is
still profusely used, also silk net. The
ltra-fashionable line Is a straight one
from bust to ankles, but a normal waist
line. slightly loosened, with careless
girdle at or below 1t, remains In
fashion.
Skirts are again short in front for
the evening, and the striking difference
between then and now lies in the train
AS all the new models show this in a
detached form the solution OF putting
an old gown into new shape Is made
easy.
| Velvet is almost exclusively used for
| this train, and its lining does not &c
along one line: every kind of fabric is
used, from metallic brocade to pleat-
| ings of silk net; even a deep band OF
| fur is used a quarter of the way up the
train to steady it.
