NHESE things were regarded mostly as
,, u quaint Ir curriositiess until n So some clever
Daughters of the Revolution, who were
interested in the revival of the beautiful
and dignified styles of home furnishings
of the Colonial times, realized that their
beautiful and fitting accompaniment, the
Colonial rag rug, could only be secured by
the costly and troublesome process of hunt
ing up the owner of an old-fashioned hand
loom and having the rugs woven to order.
Themselves hunting up the most ex-
pert of these hand-Weavers in Philadel-
phia, they induced him to make a personal
visit to Mount Vernon, to see and copy the
rug which he afterWard reproduced and
copyrighted, under the name of the
martha Washington" rug (first sold by
Wanamaker's).
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1919-07-03
That was the beginning.

Rapidly the industry developed, and
the Weaver in question soon had to make
the rugs by machinery, thus reducing their
cost, and Wanamaker's was the first store
to take his product and create the popular
ity and the popular price of the Colonial
rag rug.
Now they are seen and sold in every
store of consequence and every town Of
consequence.
But it is to this great Store, naturally,
that the best and the finest rugs are
brought, and where they can be selected in
the largest quantity and variety, and at the
lowest cost for their values.
All the good managers did not pass
away with Madam Washington
We expect to meet aplenty of them
next Monday, taking advantage of this
clearaWay of Summer rugs!

Although we have in the Sale hundreds
of rugs of the good old 'hit-or-miss" pat
terms they are mostly made according to
the good new idea of hitting it rather than
missing it.
, These have the true Colonial spirit,
together with the modern conception that
thing intended to furnish home must be
pretty even if inexpensive
So these rag rugs big and little, include
hundreds of other mixed and blended effects
that are not hit-or-miss, but studied, with
view to suiting any room in general, but
maybe a blue or pink or gray room in
particular.
Plain-color border stripes at the ends
give just the color accent and attractive
contrast needed.
There are plenty of the cool-looking,
clean looking black and white combina-
tions, relieved by the color-stripes at the
ends, which are bit unusual and therefore
the more appreciated.
Those particular rugs are small ones,
27x54 inches, $l.65.
HOW the vogue of these" Colonial rag rugs
Il l. has spread over the land! The factor les
can hardly turn them out quickly enough.
Yet many of us can remember time
when the opportunity for an inexpensive,
attractive floor covering, through the adop-
ton of these wonderful, sensible, durable,
washable old-time rag weaves, was very
inperfectly grasped.

Thousands of Fine Rag Rugs and Japanese Rush Rugs at
Reduced Prices That Mean Saving Oe-Fourh to One-H Half

Woven only at home, and woven very
style, were at that time still used in kitch-
ems, but it was regarded as proof of poverty
to use them elsewhere!
There were beautiful rag rugs on the
floors in Washington's home at Mount
Vernon, woven in soft, lovely harmonies of
color and pattern, probably under the
direction of that capable housewife,
Madam Washington, herself
In the famous Betsy Ross House on
Arch Street near Second, Philadelphia,
tourists saw another handsome rag rug
which we do not know positively to have
been woven by the skillful hands that sewed
the first stars on the first American flag, but
why should it not have been?

THcls is our usual half-yearly disposal
of rugs, by which the Summer pur-
chaser benefits.
You see, in great Store like this the
attitude toward the stocks suggests the
answer of the Intelligent Native to the
Inquiring Briton. The latter, accustomed
to much pomp and state surrounding Courts
and Royalty, could not grasp the informal
and business-like attitude of the American
toward his ruling powers. So he hazarded
the criticism:
"See here, you Americans don't seem to
think much of your Presidents"
"Ya-as, we do" drawled the native, 1--WE
think lot of 'em, but the times short
between 'em, and we're usually thinking
hard about the next one."
WE think lot of these fine fresh, hand
w some Summer rugs, each of them the
work of frst-rank manufacturer, and not
jaded or store-soied rug in the lot.
But although the Summer has no more
than fairly started, with many of the
Summer homes not yet opened, nor all Of
the rugs we sold so fast last month laid
down, qUe are doing some hard thinking,
connected with plans for the season ahead,
and the space we shall soon need for the
new rug stocks that will be flowing in.
These attractive Japanese rush and Colo
nial rag rugs are not left-overs and it is our
intention that they shall not be left-overs.
They have therefore been priced far
below regular values. Many are fully half
price With them, as stated in detail have
been included some excellent plain Klear-
flax rugs, of odd sizes, priced at distinct
reductions.
Any one of these floor coverings is a
good investment, as there's no present
Indication of regular prices coming down
for considerable time.
But especially the Colonial rag rugs
represent opportunity with an extra-size
n O. because their service is not limited
to the Summertime only.

Nor rugs large or small, are not used all

wolves. - ~. 9
There has been a steady increase in
the number of divorce Bases, in this
country since the beginning of the
war and the problem has been re-
ceiving much public attention. Two
parties have grown up. one favoring
more liberal divorce. laws, and the
other decrying the growing number
Of separations of this kind. AS to the
cause of the increase there is a di-
Vergence of, opinion.
OFFICIAL records show that a large
number of soldiers on returning from
the var ha4e Instituted suits against
their wives on the ground Of inf1deli-
ty. The claim frequently has been
made that the war has resulted in a
decided lowering Of moral standards.
This is denied e~mphatically by D.
Figur, Of a firm of solicitors, who have
more. than. a hundred divorce cases
coming UT In the next term, and who
are handling about one thousand in
various stages. j.
Tho increase in the number of d.
vorces Is certainly due TO the war"
said Mr.. sFigur to a representative Of
The Associated Press, but it is abso-
lutely wrong to say that there, has
been q great slump in English morals.
Undoubtedly there have been many
cases of infideht3 due to separations
incident to the war, but this is not the
main factor in the increase.
The reason w are getting more
divorces is simply because the war has
taught both men and women inde-
pendence. and has taught them to
think. Women have learned that they
have an individuality and that they
can look. after themselves. The men,
too. have come to take q broader view
of life.
THE fact is that there would have
been just as many divorces before the
war If people had not been shackled
by lack of. initiative and by fear of
challenging the conventions Of socie-
N. The desire for divorce was there
but instead OF taking action people
went on in the old, unhappy state.
Now, after over four years Of separa-
ton. many couples have come to a
realization hat they can be happier
apart That is the situation in a nut

ST. Paul, M1nn.. Nov. 7.-The City Of

laid off because there a no work to
do and later others were given the
work and he was eve rcinstated. He
sued for $1,000 salary from the time
he was laid off in October 1916. The
st. Louis county district court found
that he was wrongfully denied re-

awarded him $1.713. j.
