Is anything made today along the

that there is a suitable hooked rug

He claims that If some persons think
differently, 1t is because their &C.
quaintance with hooked rugs has
been limited to a few inferior ex-
ampleS.
Hooked rugs represent a vital folk
art as fully az do rugs made in the
Orient. Since their design is less
rigidly fixed by tradition, they lend
themselves more readily than ORR
entails to the informal and eclectic
interior Of the modern house. The
texture Of a fine old hooked rug can
not be surpassed by that of any
