Rug Styles Change With The Centuries Style is jfist as important to rug manufacturing as it is to milady's clothing, and it has been for néarly 30,000 years. Archaeological evidence shows. that rugs were used as long as 30,- 000years ago, in the Upper Paleon- tological Period. Of course, such rugs contained no wool, cotton or jute, ta say: nothing of nylon. They were made of bark felt; The oldest rug still on view was made between the third and fourth centuries, B. C. It is made of black hair felt with a white border on one side and has appliqued split-stitch silhouettes of cats' heads, cut out of red or blue felt, in an evenly-spaced row. You can see it any time you happen to be passing the chief museum in Leningrad and care to drop in. Unlike most feminine * apparel, modern rug styles don't change with every spring, but /over a longer period they show a trend of style as clear and definite as any skirt length graph would indicate. ; ."Ingrain"" was the carpet vogue of 1890 -- a thin, dark material usually : woven in a narrow width with a i small conventional design. To cover a large area, housewives had these narrow strips pieced together and the end result was an all too perfect \ 3 dust catcher.

It should be a period of relaxation and an op- portunity to store up energy for later activity. The resting period is naturally in- duced by the shortened days and lowered temperatures. With many plants this slowing process may be imperceptible, with others it is dis- tinct and unmistakable. Bulbous plants are an instarice of complete rest. Many house plants will cease to bloonvand others will do so feeh- ly. Most of those which will flower at this scason have been condition- ed or prepared for blooming during the prefeding months of summer or autumn, k Recognition of the above facts in- dicatés the winter treatment. All, practices which tend to stimulate growth should be held in check. Less water iy needed, potting and * root disturbance of any kind should be suspended. Fairly low temper- atures are desirable, but mav be difficult to obtain. The temperature of ihe one must of necessity be maintained at a point favouring the comfort of the human rather than the plant in- mates. It is a conservative state- ment that places a winter dwelling house temperature at 70 degrees. This is much too high for a great many plants. It is a good growing. temperature for warm loving | plants under conditions of spring | daylight aand ample humidity. But the combined efforts of high tem- perature, comparative darkness and a diy atmosphere are not favourable to general plant health. Perhaps the reasonable attitude to take in this respect is to maintain a day temperature around 70 de- grees with a drop to about" 60 de- grees after retiring. To promote humidity, the usual evaporating pans on radiators and metal trays of gravel on window shelves to hold the plants will be helpful. Atomic. Polka Dots ] It's amazing how idle chatter can lead to fascinating discoveries. Take, for instance, the case of the Atomic Bomb and Polka: dot Dresses, writes Napier Moore. A ne¢ighbor of ours is an emin- The other day, watching him vigorously fork some elegant-looking manure into his 'vegetable garden, we commented on' his energy. This led to a discus- sion of other forms of energy. Fin- ally we got to atomic energy. We:said we supposed that by this "time reports covering the effects on 'humans of the atomic bombs dropped on Japan had been cor- related, and that no doubt, proies- sionally, he had received much in- formation. The doctor said he had. We asked if there was any crumb he could bestow upo. us. ' "Well," he said casually, "there was the matter, of the polka-uot dresses." Our eyes popped at that. He went on to explain. Examination of victims of flash burns revealed that the skins of women wearing 1 'ka-dot garments were marked according to the pattern. That is, on the skin there were circles matching the white dots. And those circles were not burned as were the areas covered by colored cloth. "That was interesting," s<aid the doctor, "but, of course, fundamen- tally there was nothing new about it. You were taught at school that dark clothing absorbs heat mane -game called?

The structure of the X-ray and the atomic ray are basically the same." He wasn't willing to guess what might have happened if the victims had been completely enveloped in white. Distance of the person from the flash point meant much. . But he must have noticed us fingering our polka-dot tie, for he added, "It. is not impossible that. science will .-|. find for humans. some form of partial protection against atomic rays. However, if ever you are in immediate proximity to an atomic bomb flash, polka-dot or no polka- dot, white pants or no white pants, you'll be dead- mutton in a. very short time." = TEST YOUR L. Q.

No Shine on Pants - If You Don't Wear 'Em Textile experts have made a scr- ious study. of what puts shine on the scat of a fellows wool trousers. And the results of their rescarch will probably not surprise anyone. Just plain old wear is the answer-- But at least it's comforting to know that the dry cleaner is not the one to blame nor is it only be- cause the trousers are old. "Hang your trousers up in the closet as long as you want and send them to the cleaner's often as you like and they'll 'never get that semi-gloss look. But-if you wear them, well . .. that's' the rub. ip textile experts failed to say so--but they might have also re- ported that, if you don't 'wear em, they last longer too. is Baby Bootées ; That Stay On When 1 was accumulating" my ° "daughter-to-come's" layette some years ago, a fond duntie knit me some very simple but usefyl bootees. I well remember what she said to we as | unwrapped them enthu- siastically, "Here are some bootees that WILL stay gn; even the liveliest baby can't kick these off!" writes Josephine Holbrook in The Christian Science Monitor. Through the years this auntie has ~'booteed" scores of babies here in the North, and now that she lives in the South, she finds a market for her the shops there. When I found out what truly grand staying-one qualities they had and how easy they were fo make, 1 too learned to knit them. . Here are the directions: Choice of Needles bootees in Use a pair of No. 2 or No. 3 needles (according to whether you knit tightly or loosely) and Saxony weight yarng Cast on 40 stitches. First row-~knit one, purl one all thie way across the row; knit garter stitch for 9 ridges; knit one, purl one, for 1 inch, Next row--knit one, put over, and knit two stitches to- gether and repeat across the row. (This is the beading.) Next row -- knit one, purl one "all the way across the row. Next row knit 26 stitches, turn and knit back 12 stitches. Knit JUST these 12 stitches for 11 ridges (instep). Then pick up_the stitches on one side of the instep and knit to the end of that row. Knit back and pick up the stitches on the other side of the instep. \WVith all of "the stitches now on 'the needle knit 9 ridges. 10th ridge -- knit together two stitches at each end of the row and two stitches each side of the middle stitch. : "11th and 12th ridges -- narrow tlie sames as the 10th ridge. Bind off loosely. Sew up the seam and run ribbon through th beading. \ I usually keep both pink and blue yarn on hand because I have found that a pair of each color boxed together with a sprinkle of sachet, makes an inexpensive yet lovely gift for" a baby shower.
