OWN AT LEAST ONE 

 GOOD ORIENTAL RUG 



Place it in your living room and give it hard service. 

 You will notice at the end of the year that it grows 

 -better looking. Other floor coverings will come and 

 go but your Antique Oriental Rugs live on. 



It is my aim to sell you at least one rug to make you 

 a customer for life. I buy and sell because to do so 

 gives me pleasure and keeps me busy. I will prepay 

 a selection of rugs for you to look over and return, at 

 my expense, if you possibly can. 



Send for List of Rugs and Free Booklet.

Ask Your Husband 



to help you solve the ironing problem. If he is like thousands 

 of others he can do it by getting you a Simplex Ironer. This 

 machine will do your ironing in one-quarter the time that it 

 now takes and do it better. 



But most of all, the Simplex Ironer will save your health. It 

 pays for itself every twelve months in saving time, labor, worry, 

 health and money. 



Even if you do not now do your own ironing, you might wish to 

 if it meant no labor, and you could save the cost of having it 

 done. The American Ironing Machine Co., 548, 168 N. Michi- 

 gan Ave., Chicago, 111., publish a very interesting book "Ironing 

 Hints." Write them for a copy, it's free. It will tell you how 

 to make your ironing easy.

Inexpensive Garden Furnishings 



THE never failing beauty of fall weather which 

 like a departing friend, lingers reluctantly, warns 

 us to plan now for the needful changes in the garden 

 for next year as well as for the Winter arrangement of 

 decorative shrubs. Both are important and interest- 

 ing, but the arrangement of the garden is a recurrent 

 duty whose performance proves one of the keenest 

 pleasures of home building. And it may mean any- 

 thing from 

 the placing of 

 a new bird 

 bath to the 

 complete re- 

 modeling of 

 different sec- 

 tions of the 

 garden. 



The late 

 fall season is 

 an excellent 

 time to 

 choose and 

 place decora- 

 tive outdoor 

 furnishings 

 since one sees 



at that time the exact effects and proportions of the pieces 

 selected without the softening influence of greenery 

 which, in its season, will intensify their attractions. 



It is, indeed, a pleasant task — the fall garden plan- 

 ning — and one of its chief charms lies in the fact that 

 to-day really fine articles of garden furnishings may be 

 had at prices well within the range of every purse. 

 This is instanced in the splendid marble bench pictured 

 here. Note the graceful simplicity of its chased carved 



_. 



designs, and its comfortable proportions. Its dimen- 

 sions are 4 feet 3 inches long 17 inches high, and it 

 sells for the very low sum of $36. 



Not less interesting is the terra cotta urn with 

 pedestal shown here, which speaks for itself. Or the 

 excellent composition window boxes for winter greens. 

 These boxes come in several colors, sizes, and designs, 

 and are most attractive. The small one, 4 inches 

 square, costs 40 cents; the daffodil box is Si, while 

 the 12-inch box sells at $2. J. C. W.
