are appropriate and serve well 
to complete the composition 
of such rooms. 
For rooms fitted with Crafts¬ 
man or mission furniture, there 
are rugs made in two or three 
tones, which are sold under 
the name of bungalow rugs. 
These are of close though 
coarse weave and are quite 
heavy, lying well on the floor. 
While the general effect of 
these rugs is dark, the lighter 
portion forms the center, with 
stripes in the darker shade out¬ 
lining the border of medium 
tone. In rich dull blue, 
brown, and mulberry shades 
these are particularly good. 
In size nine by twelve they 
sell for ^36.50, and may be 
obtained in any size made to 
order at $^.00 a square yard. 
There are some who still 
hold to the old-fashioned pref¬ 
erence for carpeted floors. A 
good compromise for them is 
found in the Wilton plain 
colored filling.

Another beautiful rug 
shows against a deep ivory 
background, the small palm 
pattern in dull red, old blue 
and black. The border is a 
close mosaic which is very 
effective. 
There are also Brussels rugs 
made in America which give 
excellent service and by care¬ 
ful selection one may find 
designs and colors which are 
attractive. These rugs retail 
for something less than $30.00 
in the nine by twelve size, 
proportionate values for vary¬ 
ing sizes. 
A revival of the old-fashioned 
rag rug has apparently come 
to stay. They are now woven 
in soft pastel colors as well as 
in the old-fashioned blue and 
white and hit-and-miss mix¬ 
tures. These rugs are not 
expensive and wear well. 
In country house bedrooms 
or where the distinguishing 
characteristic of the room is 
Colonial simplicity, rag rugs
