n NORRIS TALKS ON NATIONAL SPORT OF VAMPII

says the wife toFher, affectionate-
IL. And, smuggling up against

old car. rafting home, she adds,

THE GENUINE VAMP.
But to the genuine vamp, who
is. always married, or widowed,
grass or sod the wife has, and
has rightly, a different attitude.
The wife knows, in her secret,
sensible heart, that Arthur, with
his bald spot and his aversion to
cheese in the macaroni and to
windows that rattle nights, isn't
really going to fall in love with
the ravishing Mrs. Adams and
divorce his lawful partner and
desert his two adored little girls.
Only--only, falters the wife. with
watering eyes, It's all So so
horrid-and so silly
It is so hard to see the man
! that one respects and loves MAX
ing an absolute. fool of himself,
and all men are fools under
these particular circumstances.
And it is hard to feel that one
has no choice but to be mis-
judged.
For if the wife laughs hardly
at the matter and assumes sort
of philosophic gaiety about it,
then the world says that she is
simply franticl
''Mary's trying to put a good
face on it, but you can see it's
killing her!'
If, on the other hand, she
weeps, broods, becomes silent and
is changed, then she has to endure
dreadful pity and open recognition
of the fact that she cannot hold
the man she loves.
And through it all she is baffled~
and infuriated and exasperated to
realize that Arthur really doesn't
like the woman: that he would be
frightened off his feet at the mere
thought of anything permanent in
the association; that if Mrs. Adams
were free tomorrow and Arthur
free the day after, they wouldn't
want to marry each other!
Meanwhile, the endless humilia-
tions go on, and their friends say
wonderingly:

a wonderful silken sheen. j, So
much admired by collectors is
this velyety appearance that rug
dealers have resorted to various
means to artificially produce this
gloss. Dampening the surface
with a solution of glycerine and
pressing with very hot irons, i'm
parts something of the same eff
feet, but does not improve the
rug. One should, therefore, IA
vor a rug which does not exhibit
this characteristic too strongly,
as, unless the price be very high,
one may be sure that the gloss
Is not natural.
NEVER BEAT GOOD RUGS.
A still more damaging practice,
resorted to both in the Orient
and here, is the so-called washing
process. New rugs, in the vivid
hues of freshly dyed woods, are
stretched on inclined boards, over
which chlorine water is permitted
to flow. This fades the surfaces
In soft tones but so weakens the
fiber OF the rug as to cut its life
time in, two. "A washed rug can
easily be detected, as upon ex-
animation it will be found that
only the surface of the nap is in
dull tones, very bright colors APP
pearing deeper in the fiber and
upon the back of the rug. Rugs
which, for any reason, have been
exposed to sea water, will fall to
pieces quickly under everyday
wear, as the chlorine from the
salt in the water rots the yarn.
Good rugs especially Orientals,
should never be shaken or beaten,
the old:fashioned mauling with a
a. stick, cane or wire implement
being particularly injurious. The
carpet sweeper and vacuum
cleaner. for every day, and the
steam or naptha, process twice
yearly, will keep rugs and car
pets in good condition-and in
what they add to the life Of the
fabric will more than make up
for the cost. In the Orient,
soiled rugs are scrubbed with a
heavy lather of pure CASTLE soap,

rubbed in with the grain of the
rug, never against it. They are
rirsed with slightly warm water,
the same temperature as the first
lather, until the water runs clear,
then hung in a. shady place to
dry.
Many of the handsomest of
hand-wrought Oriental patterns
are now duplicated in machine
made domestic velvets and Brus--
sells, affording really tasteful floor
coverings. There are even those
who prefer the domestic rug, as
it is more regular, more perfect
and lies flatter upon the floor.
Plain-toned, or two-toned, hand
tufted rugs are also much favored
by decorators. They equal the
Orientals in wearing qualities and
in price. Even the least expensive
Of rugs and carpets, produced
nowadays, are in excellent taste,
as to pattern and coloring, and
wearing qualities have improved
with modern methods of manu-
facture.
In the furnishing Of the room
pictured, a practical demonstra-
ton is given of what can be
done with inexpensive materials
by the exercise of good judg-
ment and taste.
BY the practical arrangement
of the davenport and desk table
in front of the fireplace, the
spaces usually occupied by the
davenport, table and the desk are
consolidated, with resulting
economy Of room. The desk table

just the honey touch that makes
the room appear to be lived in.

fashioned painting. A large paint

effective if it harmonizes with
other decorations in the room,

Question: My house has a wide
central hall, with the dining
room on one side and the living
room on the other. How would
you treat the hall to make it
harmonic with both rooms?
Answer: If you have your two
rooms papered in different shades
Of the same color, you can make
them meet in the hall by COM
bining the two. shades in a
tapestry or figured paper. If you
have, say, a tinge of yellow in
your living room and red i'm your
dining room, you can bring them
together with q tapestry paper
on which a shade of red shows
against a yelIOwish background,
or you can combine them into an
orange shade i'm the hall.
Question: Is Colonial furniture
still in good form? F have some
fine Colonial pieces that / do not
want to discard. Can 1 use them
to advantage?
Answer: Yes. For few years
English period styles have been
i'm favor. Furniture authorities
say the Colonial is coming back.
Keep your Colonial pieces. You
can match them with more Col
oniaI or with styles which will
not conflict with them.

A flirt is benign, and a

The varnp has q single
weapon. The weapon is.
flattery. A vamp shorn Of
flattery, received and
given, is no vamp at all.
The unmarried vanap is
q negligible element. She
is merely . more or less
desperate type Of flirt. She
may say daring things,
but every one knows that
she neither understands
them nor means them.

always married, or widow
