Rugs 
Thick glowing antiques witli 
tonal effect of old catliedral 
glass, now vanishing because of 
growing demand and no produc¬ 
tion, excel rugs acid-washed and 
ironed to imitate antiques. To 
add glorious rugs cf distinctive 
merit indicative of a. choice 
spirit, requires only a letter 
asking for descriptive list. Then, 
at your request, I will prepay 
on approval an assortment, eacli 
rug the gem cf thousands, giving 
you widest selection.

Ceilings, Lighting, Curtains, Hangings and Dec¬

niture, Composition, and liovv to know and to use

tural education, a necessity in making homes beautiful, and it lays the foundation 
for a profitable career in a fascinating profession.
