I heard it was a mark to keep witches away, or that it was a i sign of a hiding depot for the ft underground railroad. Which ft is right? T.N., Charlotte, N.C. As far as we know, neither is right. We think it's just for decorative purposes, but drivers of sightseeing buses like to entertain their passengers, so there is a lot of hokum like this. Home Hints: If heavy furniture has flattened the pile of your rugs, erase the marks with a steam iron. Build up a good head of steam and hold the iron over the flattened spot. Don't touch the rug with the iron Brush briskly.
