serviceable rug, with perhaps
tweed effect.
For cottage type home, small scat
ter rugs are a good choice because
they help carry out the effect you
are trying to create.
Plain furnishings gain interest by
the addition of rugs with hooked
rug pattern.
Grass or rush. rugs may be used
in a tropical room or sunporch.
Underpads or underlays fitted to
the rugs when the latter are pur-
chased increase the wearing quality
of the carpet from IS to $50 per cent
according to the experts. Since they
are much less expensive than the
rug itself, it's a good idea to invest
in them. They also make the rug
more comfortable and give luxuri-
Gus feeling.
The rug with most wool will wear
best and will crush least readily.
Worsted is made Of the longest wool
fbers and is most durable but it is
difficult to find worsted rugs at this
time.
Color-fastness guarantees are i'm
portant in rug buying. This will COW
er sunlight, dry cleaning and sham
pooing.
Rugs without borders look larger
than those with them.
Small rugs should be placed
thoughtfully. Never use diagonal ar
rangement as this violates archi-
tectural principles. Do not use small
rugs in the center Of the room;
place them next to large pieces Of
furniture.

furnished the home in Victorian, you
would do well to choose wall to wall
carpeting in a plain, dark colored
broadloom. Red is good color to
use because the furnishings are
rather somber. Subdued reproduc-
tions or adaptions of large floral
and scroll patterns are often used.
If you have an 18th century home
(called Georgian in England and
Colonial in America) plain colors
are very desirable. Oriental rugs
occasionally are usable, but it is
unwise to choose Oriental reproduc-
tionS.
When the furnishings are Louis
XIV or XVI, you may use reproduc-
tions of French Aubusson and Savon-
nerie rugs with scroll or floral
motifs and subdued colors. Soft pas
tel colors in a broadloom rug are
also very good. Bleached Oriental
rugs may also be good choice.
Early American rugs and carpets
because of their textures and colors
are excellent choice for that partic-
ular style of room.
Directoire. English Regency and
Empire furnishings require solid
colored broadloom rugs, dark or
light, with or without borders. Or,
you may choose a reproduction of
rug with a classic feeling.
Modern or goth century furniture
styles require plain, solid colors.
Light colors are usually more ap-

FIRST AID to the

QUESTION: I would like infor-
nation on mixing cement for floor
ing an old bathroom floor - the
right proportion, and the ingredi-
ent like volcanic ash that is mixed
with the cement to keep it from
being so hard to walk or stand on.
ANSWER: I think you have in
mind a magnesite flooring, which
can be used over an existing floor.
1t is put down about a half-inch
thick and comes in a variety of
colors. For the names of suppliers
of this type of floor covering, get
in touch with the Oxychloride
Cement association, 1923 Connect
cut avenue, Washington 6, D. c.
QUESTION: My two floor lamps
have brass stems and bases with
intricate designs. Through the
years the brass has become very
much tarnished. Can you advise
me how to get it to look bright and
shiny again?
ANSWER: I advise you to use
one of the excellent brass (also
different types of metaD polishes
that are on general sale, using a
brush in the ornamental work. A
simple way to polish brass (aIso
copper) is by washing with ordi-
nary vinegar in which is mixed as
much salt as the vinegar will dis
solve. You can make this into a
paste by adding flour. Follow by
rinsing with water.

To Enjoy Water First

You can't expect your youngster
to enjoy swimming unless he
learns to enjoy the water first.
Try not to let older children

he is near the water. When he is
about five years old, take him to a
competent instructor who will
teach him so that he will gain con-
fidence as he progresses.

Womon's World
Rugs Should Not Conflict
With Furnishings of Room
&y G,4a MaAy

THERE are many people who Sc
l. lect their rugs by hit and miss
method because they do not realize
the true Importance of what rugs
and carpets should do for the room.
It's true that these floor coverings
do not set the mood or feeling to
the room, but they should not con-
f1ict with it.
YOU can economic on the floor
covering of a room, but do not buy
something in poor taste simply be-
cause you cannot afford something
better. It's far better to go without
a rug until you can buy floor COW
ering in keeping with the style of
your furniture.
One of the problems many of us
have to settle in buying rug is to
decide whether we want large rug
or wall-to-wan carpeting. If you
buy rug, it's possible to turn it
around and prevent wearing in spots.
On the other hand, if the room
has irregularities such as bay win
dows, you should get wall-to-wall
carpeting, as this brings the room
together and makes even bay win
dows seem a definite part of it.
Cleaning is no longer problem
with wall-to-wall carpeting. They
are cleaned either by yourself or
professionally with a great deal of
effectiveness while still on the floor.
If you simply do not have the
courage to buy a proper rug or car
pet, it's well to remember that you
rarely can go wrong with simple,
one-color unpatterned rug. You may
use one color in all the rooms as
this gives unity to the house and
conveys an effect of spaciousness.
Let Style of Rug
Conform to Furnishings
There's a simple style guide which
is easily followed for selecting a
rug if your room is of a certain
period. For instance, if you have

variety, you may want to use shag,
fur or textured rugs or carpets Of
some kind.

propriate. If you need to introduce
variety, you may want to use shag,
fur or textured rugs or carpets of
some kind.
Bright COlOred Rugs
Are Not Desirable
Most floor areas are large and
for this reason they cannot stand a
brilliant colored rug. Choose rug
that has been grayed, no matter
what the color, so that it will be
in keeping with the room colors.
The best way to select the color
for the rug is to have the latter
about the same color as the walls.
In this way you can be certain there
will be harmony and unity in the
room.
If you contrast the rug color with
the walls, the choice will be more
difficult and you will have to have
different samples in the room to
be able to tell what is best.
The present range of colors is
satisfactory for most purposes.
There are beige, light gray, dark
gray, off white, rust, wood tones,
grayed blue and grayed green as
the dark colors, but they will have
to be cleaned more frequently to
keep looking nice.
If you use grayed rug, it's pos
sible to change the colors in the
room more frequently without
changing the rug.
Bear in mind the exposure of the
room when selecting color for the
rug. A north exposure in a room
means GOODNESS, for instance and
you'll want color that warns the
room.

For Choosing Rugs

An ever SO bright spot In the
costume landscape is the basic
wool dress with an assortment
of c0ntrasted color scarfs. Many
of the current dress designs are
really basic with beautiful slen-
derizing lines. Smart contrasts
may be offered by deep hip
pockets with a top fare for ac-
cent or self buttons which are
so effective, and at the same
time so un0bstrusive that they
do not interfere with the scarf
color build-up. Tw0-cOlOr scarfs

GOSPEL TALKS

Whnt Of Tomorrow?

Boast not thyself of tomorrow,
for thou knowest not what a day
may bring forth."--Prov. 27:l. i.
The most wonderful day of the
year is always tomorrow. 1t offers
new hope, new opportunity, and new
prospects. Where we have failed to-
day we hope to do better tomorrow.
1t is rainy today, we hope it will be
fair tomorrow. Tomorrow is always
new and full of wonderful things.
But with all its good things, to-
morrow is a day that never comes.
1t is always today and tomorrow is
always in the future. The only day
we ever have to live is today. So, If
anything is to be done in life, it must
be done today-not tomorrow. The
Bible says, Boast not myself of to-
morrow" Don't be too sure that
you will have another day." you
can never tell what a day may bring
forth" To-day is the only day you
have to live"
There are many things you know
you should do but you keep putting
them off until tomorrow. You know
that you should make your decision
for Christ and follow Him but you
put it off from day to day. You know
that you should turn from your life
of sin and in repentance and faith be-
gin a new life for Christ. You know
you should read your Bible, pray and
60 to church. Tomorrow" you say,
II will do these things" But as long
as you persist in putting these things
off until tomorrow, you will never
do them, for there is no tomorrow.
| Today is the only day you will ever
have. Accept Christ today and live
the Christian life today. Now is the
accepted time-now is the day of
salvation."--2 Cor. 6:2.
