R RE YOU ONE of those people ** who have several rooms in the home, bare of floor covering be cause you can't afford full-sized rugs? Or are you simply unaware of the possibilities, decoratively speaking, of scatter rugs? Small-sized rugs can be used so effectively that you may never again feel that need for large rugs. Even with full-sized rugs, these small rugs can add that nice splash of color to rooms and pre vent expensive large carpets from showing wear prematurely, espe cially in the heavy traffic areas. No room in the house need be without them, and the rugs them selves are equally at home in liv ing, bedroom, den or hall. They can, when properly used be very effective. If you happen to have some of these rugs stored away, check them for possibilities. All cannot be used because of pattern, color, size and shape. If they were used, they would give a hodge-podge ef fect which is just what you seek to avoid.. The right scatter rugs are in scale and harmony with your fur niture. The colors have just the right accent for the room, and the patterns must either provide effec tive background for the room in which they’re used, or at least lead the eye to the center of interest. Keep the basic tenets of decora ting in mind, and when balance, OLD SHOES GOOD AS NEW! Rundown heels can hurt the best of appearances and bring painful foot discom fort.

The rugs used may be bought, or they may be made at home either by the hooking or braiding method whichever you prefer. Room Suggests Ways Of Arranging Rugs Let’s start with the living room that needs a center of interest This usually happens when there’s no fireplace or mantel. You'can make an attractive window ar rangement by using a fairly good sized scatter rug, setting it near the window. It should be large enough to cover the floor required of a conversational group, with two chairs or loveseats and a table between the two. The window can be made dec orative by placing an arrangement of plants either on the sill, or on a small window hugging cabinet that comes as high as the sill. The sofa and coffee table arrange ment is quite common in many living rooms. Does yours stand out as attractively as possible?

CALL 74 FOR YOUR PRINTING AND OFFICE SUPPLY NEEDS imaginative decor to home. try placing the coffee table with its width to the sofa so that the length extends out into the room. On either side of the table place a square rug that just fills the space. Placing rugs like this gives a balanced arrangement that’s neat but not too formal. If the room is modern, you might try rugs with colored stripes forming squares. For traditional rooms, geometric or attractive patterned rugs are the answer. Let’s say that you have a small living room with a fireplace. You can give this room a feeling of spaciousness by placing one large scatter rug in front of the fire place where would be placed a small coffee table with a chair on one side and a small sofa or love- seat on the other. Smaller rugs can bb placed in the room to reach to the fireplace rug, and they do not have to be the same style rugs, just so long as they harmonize with the room. Use Good Scatter Rugs In Place of Skimpy Large Ones Does your hallway with its stairs stand close scrutiny, or could it be more of a decorative asset? Those ’nice oblong rugs are excellent cov ering for long hallway, much bet ter than the very narrow, skimpy rugs which are all too frequently tacked in the hall. In front of the stairway, use one of the half moon This strapless plaid wool sheath of green, red and black combined with a jacket- of black velveteen makes a fav orite school ensemble. Short cuffed sleeves are featured on the jacket with black bone but tons and a black, narrow calf belt. „ shaped rugs to give character. All rugs should be anchored to the floor with non-skid pads or lin ings. Another trick is to use rub ber jar rings on the comers of these small rugs. This anchoring of the rugs is especially important in places like halls and stairways where you anticipate traffic. A good arrangement in the bed room is to have the scatter rugs on either side of the bed, the length of the rugs matching the length of the bed. Continue the rugs to bathroom entrance. In long, narrow living rooms, fj scatter rugs help facilitate fur niture groupings. If you have a i desk and v bookcase arrangement in one corner or on one side, use one large or several match ing rugs for this unit. If you have a musical comer, use several matching rugs for this group. Still another group, around mantel or fireplace can be carpeted with one or two scatter rugs in still another pattern or style. Playrooms and nurseries are ideal places for scatter rugs be cause they can be used for play groupings, and then rolled up quick ly if the whole room floor is needed for more rugged activities. Equipment for Hooked Rugs is Simple If you’ve decided to make hooked rugs for the home, they'll be ideal for the scatter rug uses just out lined. Best of all, you probably have most of the materials on hand al ready. Gather your faded kitchen cur tains, outgrown and outmoded dresses, woolens from shirts, suits and jackets. Even worn rayon or nylon stockings can be used. These should be dyed according to col ors you choose for the rugs. All fabrics cannot be used in one rug. Wools and wool-like rayons may be used together, with a bit of silk for shine. Cottons, linens and linen-like rayons may go to gether. Silk and nylon can be used together for those spots which do not have to wear, but for which you want an especially attractive, frag ile looking rug. It is difficult to estimate how much material you will need for a rug because weaves differ. Dry material, weighing about 4 pounds will give a rug approximately 20x40 inches. A rug 40x60 inches will require around 10 pounds Back and Frame Hooked Rug For backing the rug you’ll need burlap, rug canvas, monk’s cloth or some other fabric of similar weave. Lay the backing flat on the table and sketch the design on it. You may purchase or make the wooden frame, which should be a good grade seasoned wood. If you want to finish the edges of the rug as you hook the design, turn back edges of the foundation about 3 inches and press onto the right side with a heavy iron. Hook through the double thickness as you work and you’ll avoid hem ming or facing. Strips of material are cut about Vi inch wide, but woolens may be slightly more narrow. The strips of fabric are held under the rug foundation between thumb and fore finger of left hand, and the right hand holds the hook which is slipped down through the meshes of fabric to catch the strip and bring it to the surface to a height of l 4 to Vt inch. Disengage the hook, and you have the first loop. The others are made the same way. When you change colors or com plete the loops, bring strips to the fright side and cut off short. If left under, the strips are liable to pull out and leave gaps. ^ NOW UNDER NEW OWNERSHIP LOANS $5.00 to $50.00 Friendly, Confidential (NO RED TAPE) A. B. C. FINANCE COMPANY 101 W.
