Perhaps you want to give o.
gift for the home this year-a
gift that is practical, that Is
lovely, and at the same time is
lasting. What better suggestion
could we make than that you
give a rug. Now prices are low
on them, and you can get very
fine rugs for a fraction Of what
you have paid in other years.
A good Oriental will last q life
time, and other good types will
endure and be beautiful through
many years.
In considering q gift Of q rug,
you must Of course consider the
setting as carefully as you would
in the gift Of furniture or some
thing personal. The rug can
ruin q room, or it can contribute
o great deal toward the charm
and air or calm in a house. Rugs
must suit the furniture in type,
and they must harmonic with
the draperieS and upholstery
fabrics in color.
Four Types
There are four general types
to choose from, and they each
have their correct environment.
First there's the plain color rug,
sometimes made from broad.
loom carpeting if it's a big one,
or with a plain border II it's not
so big. Plain rugs are the only
safe bet In q room where you
have q great many figures, or
patterns that are apt to clash or
vibrate II you add more pat
terms. OF course the color should
blend carefully with the other
colors, and usually should re-
peat some color in the furnish
ingg.
Then there are the Orientals.
most popular for gifts. They
The Washington times., 1930-12-05

are good in eighteenth century
rooms, in Colonial homes, and
with some FederalAmerican
settings. In fact an Oriental
may be used practically any
where, provided the type design
suits the furnishings, and the
colors are right. With massive
furniture, you should choose a
rug Of bold design, and often
vivid colors. With more deli
cate furniture, such as Shers-
ton or Heppelwhite, more re-
strained designs and rugs with
finer weave and sheen are nee,
essary. And, of course, the col
ors must blend.
Charming Patterns
Hooked rugs, both ANTIQUE
and copies, are smart in early
American homes. They are
also good with provincial furnf-
ture, which is Of peasant origin,
and is of the same general type.
Hooked rugs come in many
charming colorS and patterns,
easy to use in many rooms.
Then there are modern rugs
In plain colorS with ali-over
designs that are good IN some
eighteenth century settings, and
often in Victorian homes. They
are also smart in a modern set
ting, and often in q very
elaborate room.
Several washington stores are
offering good Orientals and
hooked rugs at prices low
enough to attract anyone, and
we suggest them as excellent
gifts for, this Christmas.
