Rugs Made From Selvages.

TT AILORS first cut selvages from the
material which they use to make
mems suits. These salvages make much
better rugs than ordinary carpet rags
when woven in the usual manner They
come in long strips and require little
work in preparation for the weaver. In
place of sewing the rags in the usual
way, lay the end of one strip fiat upon
the end of another and sew to-
gether without doubling. Tailors usual
ly throw these selvages away, and
would therefore give them away or sell
them for a few cents. 1t is an easy
matter to obtain all you wish. If you
would like to make braided rugs of
these selvages they must be used
double.

Simplicity. severity. comfort form the
irilogy which has ruled all ideas con-

general has been the acceptance of this
law that the majority of US have
thought that Juvenile costumery was
settled forever along a certain groove

adjuncts to good dressing for the
