a major part of the income DROP

Note In Gay
Carpeting

EAST LANSING, Mich. -(P)-
Carpeting is going gayer this year.
Also the new designs show i'm
fluences from all parts of the globe,
according, to Jessie Marion, home
furnishings specialist at Michigan
State University.
Carpet motifs have been inspired
by the Far East, India, Iran, Italy
and Scandinavia and come in a
wide range of colors.
Brown is still a favorite family
color, the MSU specialist said, and
has many variations from wheat
to cocoa.
The emphasis is on warm or
rosy tones, such as sandalwoOd and
nutria Orange and gold are the
highstyle colors in this group and
many weaves have a touch of rich
ness added by gold metallic yarns
One reason for the warm color
trend, Miss Marion said, is as a
complement to the swing in other
decorating materials toward true
blue, color that has been missing
in home furnishings for some time.
But carpets also are making cool
news, too. New combinations in
clude blues, greyed lilacs and
green's that combine with blue for
a striking effect
