Rubbing up the Rugs For rugs various synthetic fibres are under experimentâ€"and we‘re told that there will be textures that have all that feeling of warmth and ease of woolâ€" with the added lure of having the adâ€" vantages of plastics. So a damp cloth can be used to sponge out spots withâ€" out danger of the wetness of penetrating and causing rot from underneath. But then, wool too, in the postâ€"war period will have acquired some new talentsâ€" with chemical treatment is can be proâ€" tected against damp penetration, as well as against moths and fire. In addition to new types of fibres, plastic coatings will make many old fabrics practical for new use (rememâ€" ber the chintzâ€"lined sinks and the fabâ€" ric filoors we told you about months ago?) Take rugs and upholstery for instance â€"itwo pretty big surfaces| in any home. Yet beyond keeping the loose dust vaâ€" cumed out the amateur can‘t do much about réal cleaning of theseâ€"oh, she can "spot" them and even do a superâ€" ficial cleaning job with various very good preparations. But a proper cleanâ€" ing requires professional attentionâ€"and that‘s expensive for the average home maker. The same goes for draperies. Not to mention the really big problem of keeping the inside of upholstery in repair and reasonably sanitary. Advance in Methods and Materials Soâ€"if you can‘t buy all the new furâ€" nishings you need during these war years, take heart. For when peace comes again, home furnishings will be manufactured for easy upkeep in homes without hired help. The marvellous adâ€" vances made in methods and materials under war emergency will be devoted then to improving civilian goods. (By Elizabeth MacRea Boykin) With "help" practically out of the household picture and no prospect that in the postâ€"war period the domestic supply will be any better the first quesâ€" tion American women should consider in interior decorating is upkeep. True enough, we have wonderful equipment for cleaning, but even so, we daily face many questions of home maintenance for which we don‘t have the cleaning answers. THURSDAY, APRIL 3#07TIL 1944 What this country really needs is a plan for pracâ€" tical rooms that are easy to take care of in an era whenm everybody is busy and there‘s no help to be had.

Those dreary linoleum verâ€" sions of oriental and Aubusson rugs and of Byzantine tiles threw a lot of people off linoleum for lifeâ€"but the plain or the intellingently patterned linoleum, styled for contemporary homes, not onâ€" ly make sense in point of upkeep but they really contribute decorative disâ€" tinction.
