be easily raised, permitting one to
put price lists, calendars, maps, etc.,

4 NTIQUE Oriental rugs are so
~ difficult to obtain that Fritz &
La Rue, 1924 Chestnut street
are to be congratulated upon having
several genuine Khorassans. One, a
fine old 13X22-ft. rug, has the entire
field covered with minute flowers in
greens, reds and blues, in which the
"Herati," the Persian Interpretation
of the fish design, is clearly discern
ible. Crossing this diagonally, form
ing two large diamonds, are plain
satin-like bands of wonderful Khor-
Aassan red, which magically trans
! form the rug into something alive
and glowing. Along the border runs
a complex pear or palm pattern in
which richly jewel-studded little
pears rest upon larger pears Of
darker hues. Perhaps upon such a
rug reclined Omar Khayyam when at
I Nishapur, in Khorassan, he penned
( his "Rubaiyat."
