Rubber Used in Place
Of Down in u Upholstery

Rubber Is being used increasingly
as household commodity. The
latest purpose Is as a substitute for
down in cushions and upholstery.
The rubber Is converted into sponges,
of varying dimensions, and Is thus
given the springy quality needed for
stuffing of upholstery, cushions, tops
of large footstools, etc. 1t Is this
rubber-sponge upholstery that Is
competing with down. In softness, 1t
Is manufactured to be comparable.
When the rubber Is totally deodor-
lied, the competitive value reaches
a high water mark. 1t Is true that
down will acquire a faint unaired
odor unless cushions are shaken fire..
quently, and aired occasionally also.
SO both rubber and down require
care in order to preserve their fresh
ness, In this use for cushioned furni-
ture or soft cushions.
Rubber Is a recognized agent for
rug Innings, the word lining being
used as In the case Of carpet lining,
to mean a separate article to be laid
between the floor and the rug or car
pet. In each instance the lining
softens the tread and prevents the
floor coverings above them from
wearing out as quickly as If put d.
rectly on the hard boards. In the
case of rubber rug Innings, slight adj
heslve quality of the rubber mats
helps to keep rugs from slipping
on the floor. This is a great recon-
mendation as rugs that slip and slide
under foot cause accidents, and what
ever reduces them Is desirable. Rub
Der corner pieces for rugs keep the
corners from turning up, and also
lessen the liability of the rugs slip
ping.
Indented rubber door mats long
ago found a place for themselves,
both outside doorways, and inside
the house before entrance doors.
Rain cannot hurt them, and the mats
are easily cleaned Of dust and dirt
by washing with the hose, or DOUGH
ing with water. These floor mats
when deeply indented act as old-time
foot-scrapers. Wiping shoes on the
ridged surface of the mat before COM
ing into a house takes off mud and
dust, and makes homework easier
for the homemaker, who does not
have to clean up the muddy tracks.
With the various electric appli-
ances in the home Of today, rubber
becomes an important non-conductcr

in many ways. Iceless refrigerators
have rubber installations. Rubber and
glass are competitive agents of In
sulatlon, each having certain ad-
vantages for their specific uses.
Rubber knobs come to stick into
backs of furniture to keep them
from hitting walls hard. They are
excellent for sofas and davenports
positioned with backs along walls.
These buttons, In varying sizes are
put to many uses to suit the home
makers needs.
TO enumerate all the many house
hold purposes of rubber would be
an impossible task in one short ar.
ticle, which Is primarily to acqualnt
homemaker's with the novel uphol.
stery use to which 1t Is being
adapted.

Women Are Less Liked by
Men Than in Former Years

We are In the middle years Of
womans generation which was Wig
orous with hopes and intentions Of
accomplishments, electric with de-
sire to be worth something to the
world, ambitious to have women of
equal stature with the men who were
their husbands and companions.
The original plan, we must re-
member, was never to incur the re-
sentiment of men. Women felt very
sure that such resentment and an
tagonism as they encountered In
their first efforts was the result Of
shock and would be transient; they
expected that few years of ac-
complishment would do away with 1t.
There has been much accomplish
ment, the best Of it unfortunately
concentrated in the hands Of COM
paratively few women, and more
than a few years have passed. But
the resentment of men has not dis
appeared. Quietly 1t has grown and
deepened. They are no longer angry
as they were in the beginning when
women did unaccustomed or conspic-
uous things. Men love individual
women as passlonately as they ever
have, but In the aggregate they seem
to like women less. Young girls, mar
ried women, working women and the
widows all come In for share of
this general criticism.-Margaret
