ORIENTAL RUGS 
RUINED BY SOAP 
Nearly all pamphlets and articles on rugs urge such 
washing; there is a reason for the urging; there is a 
reason why native cleaners are recommended. The 
reasons exist in your pocketbook. 
Send for my rug list in which I explain why it is little 
short of a crime to apply soap to any good rug, why 
such applications kill the life of the rug. I tell 
you how to keep your rugs sweet, clean, lustrous with¬ 
out extra expense and without calling in any “expert” 
whose main object is to ruin rugs and sell others. 
I also explain why thick antiques are the only rugs 
worth their price.

other. Interesting they all are, of 
course, and beautiful they may be; but 
mass is what counts, not broken frag¬ 
ments, however lovely these may be in 
themselves. 
Keep all the garden design in a few 
masses also, rather than allowing it to 
divide into small parts. Keep shrubbery 
in massed groups, along boundaries. Limit 
the varieties of trees used to one, or at 
most two, to a group of, let us say, five 
specimens; and group these to form a 
mass of green, and a mass of cool and 
tempting shade. And leave large, open 
masses of pure sunlight.

sparks from flying into the room. The 
wooden settle at one side depicts the kind 
used by the first settlers in our country. 
Note the wide, rough brick hearth. In the 
early days, Sir Harry Frankland and 
Agnes Surriage came here to visit Madam 
Hancock. They fished in the brook, some¬ 
times known as Furnace Brook, cooking 
their catch on the fire that blazed over the 
old-time hearth. In this kitchen also gath¬ 
ered the Rev. John Wheelright, Anne 
Hutchinson and many others of the little 
colony that settled near. They discussed 
the religious problems of the day, and 
Wheelright preached to his little congrega¬ 
tion in this room until his church was built. 
His sermons were so liberal that he and his 
coterie of friends were banished, fleeing to 
Rhode Island. 
A great oven is at one side of this room, 
while opposite is a secret closet which leads 
to a ladder back of the chimney. From 
here one could go to the chamber above. 
An odd, little dumbwaiter shaft tells us 
how food and water was sent to the 
refugees in hiding. Many years ago an 
underground passage led from the kitchen 
to the brook. It was used to smuggle con¬ 
traband goods. The entrance has been 
blocked and its whereabouts is not known 
to-day. 
At one side of this room stands a fitting 
piece of furniture. It is an old chest that 
originally belonged to the brother of Will¬ 
iam Penn. The kitchen utensils displayed 
about the hearth are relics of the Revolu¬ 
tionary period, and are properly placed for 
the old house remodeled. 
A staircase at one side leads to the Cod- 
dington Chamber, named so for the 
original owner of the house. It is low in 
stud, the better to accommodate the secret 
room above. The same rough-hewn 
beams are found here that are shown in the 
lower story. The plain floor is laid with 
the original planks. On the Field bed¬ 
steads is the most interesting counterpane, 
hand worked in the very elaborate design. 
Other furniture is quite in harmony with 
the graceful lines of the bed-posts, and the 
chairs especially are appropriate for a bed¬ 
room. They are of that variety known as 
the American Sheraton, and are really a
