DERSIA, "The Land of the Lion
and the Sum-" though no longer
mighty country politically,
still remains so POLITICALLY; and much
of the romance and beauty of the
colorful land is reflected in the glo-
rious rugs sent Fritz & La Rue, 1924
Chestnut street. Queening over all
are the Kashans; soft, silky, mellow
and artistic, they are masterpieces
of the loom. One of the finest of
the collection, a 14x21 foot rug, is
full of suggestions of loveliness.
The field is old rose, with deep sap
phire blue center medallion and cor
ner pieces that taper and run along
the sides. Skillfully interviewer is a
veritable bower of flowers, in family
misty blues, tans, greens and
browns; and framing the whole is
one wide and seven narrow borders,
inlaid with flowers as dainty as jew
eled mosaics.
ONLY the very young are said to
I like to note the passage OF
~ time; but, young or old, every
one is obliged to keep pace with it;
and, far from being hardship, this
is a pleasure when the time-marker
is an artistic Mantel Clock from
Bailey. Banks & Biddle Company,
And such a variety as there is!
Crystal engraved clocks, Wedgwood
clocks, French Gilt and Crystal
clocks, brass Ships Bell clocks, and
solid mahogany clocks in many sizes
STYLES and shapes, with silver OF
enamel dials, plain or raised numer-
ais and eight-day movements, strik-
ing the hour and half hour. In ma
hopany. the Tambour clock, with its
graceful curved lines, is a favorite
design, though many. prefer the
classic Doric or Gothic clocks, OF
thos.' with cases Ornamented with
state.y carved columns.
rvAvING a beautiful basket OF
n dish of fresh fruit adorn the
