Bringing Summer Into the House 
(Continued from page 469) 
their places those that are light in both 
weight and color is a matter of little 
trouble, and yet the appearance of a room 
is completely changed by the process. 
So numerous are the varieties of sum¬ 
mer floor coverings that it is easy to 
carry out the color scheme and decora¬ 
tive effect of a room at small expense, 
or if desired special sizes and combina¬ 
tions of colors can be made to order for 
prices that are quite reasonable. For ex¬ 
cellent service in either first-floor rooms 
or bedrooms there are probably no better 
floor coverings than the Scotch art rugs 
that come in such a wide range of col¬ 
ors. They can be had with plain or 
figured centers, and well-designed borders 
and the colors and patterns are so many 
and varied that it is quite easy to select 
rugs to go with any draperies and hang¬ 
ings that may be used. 
The Colonial rag rugs, too, are de¬ 
servedly popular for summer use, espe¬ 
cially in bedrooms, as they are woven in 
the most delicate shades of pink, blue, 
yellow and green, with charming floral 
borders. They are by no means limited 
to use on the second floor, however, for 
there are other rugs of the same weave 
in rather darker colors, with borders of 
conventionalized figures or bands in har¬ 
monizing shades that are suitable for 
living-rooms and dining-rooms, while for 
the room that has a strictly Colonial 
atmosphere there are the old-fashioned 
“hooked” rugs that look as if they had 
been made for a Colonial kitchen and 
somehow overlooked and never used. 
Circular rag rugs in colors suitable for 
summer use come from Japan, as well as 
other rugs from the same country that 
have unusual designs quite different from 
those of domestic make. Imported from 
Japan, too, are some jute rugs made of 
a flax-like fibre and woven in Oriental 
rug patterns that are wonderfully effect¬ 
ive. 
The outdoor living-room has become 
such a universal necessity that its fur¬ 
nishings and rugs are a distinct part of 
the outfit for the summer home, and the 
rugs particularly are to be had in almost 
as many different varieties as those for 
indoor use. All of these outdoor rugs 
are made of cocoa-fibre or grass and are 
impervious to wind and weather. There 
are plain grass rugs in solid greens and 
browns, rectangular rugs of cocoa fibre 
with banded borders, big oval rugs of 
flag grass with borders formed of an in¬ 
tertwined strand of black, and Chinese 
grass rugs with checked centers and tes- 
selated Oriental borders. A very orna¬ 
mental type of these outdoor rugs is a 
new variety made of cocoa fibre in the 
most delightful patterns and combina¬ 
tions of colors suggestive of Japanese 
printed fabrics, and a decided innovation 
in the way of porch floor coverings. 
“Weather Wore Me— 
Not Age!” 
If you could sheathe your house in a 
vacuum it would last for thousands 
of years. Weather causes ninety-nine 
per cent, of house decay. 
Rain seeps through defective paint, 
creeps under cracks and scales. Then 
your wood rots, your house value is 
lowered, the tone of the neighborhood, 
too. Finally, the repair bills come. 
Dutch Boy White Lead 
and Dutch Boy linseed oil will save 
you from paint disaster. They do not 
vacuum your house but they weather¬ 
proof every spot, fill up every crack, 
sink in every exposed wood pore and 
rivet on your house a protective film 
that defies all weather. Pure White 
Lead and Pure Linseed Oil make a 
reliable paint—any tint—and they last. 
Watch your painter mix it.
