Home Furnishing Suggestions for Spring. Stores
Show Attractive praperies and Rugs. .

Do your homefurnishing shopping
early this spring, for although stores
are showing more beautiful hometur-
nlshihgs than ever and in greater
variety Of designs, there is no telling
what a. few months will bring forth.
All sorts of overdraperies and even
lace curtains are affected by the great
war. Everybody knows that Ameri-
can manufacturers imported most of
their dyestuffs from Germany and
most of their fine warp yarns from
England before the war began.
Everybody knows, too, that such im-
portations have long since stopped. A
real dye, famine now threatens, which
will affect not only homefurnishing
lines but personal merchandise as
well. So the early shopper is likely
10 get the best selection.
FASHION REQUIRES. LACE AT
s.a ! THE WINDOW
You will want to be sure to have
lace at your windows this spring.
That is the demand of modern home
furnishing fashions. The best dec

cARpET MORE FASHIONABLE

Just a suggestion about carpets:
Whether you are going to buy a
new rug or not this spring, keep IN
mind the fact that the very best dec
orators are carpetinR rooms to the
the Dashboard. AS a rule such carpets
are in two-toned effects with small
figures, and they are laid straight to
the Dashboard without borders.
This is a very important develop
ment in view Of the fact that rugs
have had the call for SO many years,
We do not suggest by any means that
the use of rugs is going out of style,
but that where conditions are favor
able, there is much larger use Of
carpets than has been the case for.
many years past Just remember this
fact when you are doing your spring
homcfurnishing shopping.

When fiber rugs were introduced

that the objection to this type Of rug
lay in its selling too readily. The

WASHABLE FIBER RUGS

You will want also to look carefully
at fiber rugs. Big changes have been
made in this line of merchandise in
the last few years. On many fiber
rugs you will find tags stating that
they are waterproof and can be
washed when soiled. Few housewives
realize the true import Of this tag.
The interpreting is not merely in
tended as protection against damp
ness when the rug is used for out

making it possible to clean the rugs
when they become soiled. 1t serves
what we consider a verv much more
