ern woman has little time in which
to make the braided mats, candlewick
counterpanes. and patchwork quilts
produced in the olden days, when
there was more time than anything
else,
The newest form of commercial
makinE-over that I know of is the
reclaiming of old carpets, rugs and
clothing materials, and turning them
into attractive new rugs of any size,
dyed to ones chosen color and fin
tahed in either a plain solid surface
or two-toned with a wide border. We
all know how successfully the gov
eminent reclaimed old uniforms.
blankets, ARM shirts and other gar
ments during the war, and how en-
ureiy clean. sanitary and durable
SUCH reclaimed articles can be.
The firm which reclaims our ragged,
faded and torn carpets, rugs and por-
tieres-otherwiSe useless-performs
what sounds like domestic miracle.
Into the NAV of their special patent
and the washed-out. There the ma
terial is first reduced to shreds, then
washed, sterilized, carded and
combed. Next II is dyed to the shade
selected to match any color scheme,
and lastly 1t is woven into a thick,
seamless, reversible rug into which
the foot sinks luxuriously.
1T seems to me this is a brilliant
idea on the part OF the manufactu-
rers. How many things we throw
away because we are unable TO util-
ize the portions that are still worth
keeping! To bundle up all our old
coats. ancient parlor carpets, dreary
chenille portieres, outgrown couch
covers and ragged pieces of up
holstery, and have them return to us
in the shape OF a handsome taupe
or blue rug for the dining room or
bedroor-well, 1t seems like magic
and nothing less! The rug comes
back within the week, too. And the
price is less than YOU would think.
