BRAIDED RUGS
Braided rugs are now the fashion
Formerly one saw them only in the
country but now they are seen In city
bed rooms and living rooms Any
untry housewife might'make money
by braiding strips of rags during the
long winter evenings and making them
into rugs to sell, If city boarders
come to the country in the summer,
they will buy, but a surer way of sell
ing them is to make arrangements
with some of the numerous women's
exchanges or women's industrial
unions that are found in large cities
and where handiwork of women is sold
at a good figure. Hooked mgs are
equally In demand, and some every
