Your rugs should be Oriental in 
design and weave if possible. Should 
you desire a domestic rug such as 
Axminster, Wilton or Brussels, select 
something showing a small Bokhara 
pattern in shades of soft dull red, green, 
cream and black. 
There is connected with this Depart¬ 
ment an expert on rugs who will take 
pleasure in making selections for you 
should-you desire it or in putting you in 
touch with the best shops from which to 
procure these. 
The samples for drapery of raw silk 
to be used at the window over ecru net 
are also sent, together with a tapestry 
which is suggested for the door curtains 
and some furniture covering. 
d he ceiling of this room should be 
in a shade of ecru. Following your 
thought of green and brown foliage pa¬ 
per for the library I send one in these 
colors on a dull blue ground. This 
paper has an excellent effect on the wall 
as it is rich in color and quite imposing 
in design. Plain draperies should be 
used in this room as there wdl be so 
much of design on the wall. I send you 
dull blue Brunswick velvet at ^2.10 a 
yard, fifty inches wide. For your door 
curtains these should be made without 
any interlining whatever and run on a rod 
by a casing at the top. A narrow moss 
fringe can be set in the joining of the 
edges or a narrow gimp may be used 
in the same color.

material away. The winter’s exposure 
almost turns it into soil and it acts as a 
mulch in hot weather. The practice of 
digging the winter’s manure into the 
beds is injurious in a perennial bed or 
an old shrubbery border because of the 
disturbance of the roots. This phase of 
the matter refers only to perennial and 
shrubbery beds where they contain a 
rich soil. Where they have not been 
manured for some time it is better to use 
fresh manure and remove the coarser 
strawy part in the spring. In the 
meantime the rains and melting snows 
will have carried the better parts, i. e. 
the juices, into the soil. Fresh manure 
from city stables or from any well regu¬ 
lated suburban barn contains only those 
weed seeds that come with the hay or 
bedding, but “old manure ” is often rotted
