Some of the old-fashioned men, neither priggish nor effeminate, are most interesting in their conversationability. To be simply loaded with epigrams and anec dotes, to be retailed or shot off on every opportunity, as Coleridge is reported to have said, especially when you have heard them two or three times, is to bring jn an old-time wearisomeness. It is never an exhilarating process to sit still and be pumped into for an hour. , . ' Ti : n micfnlrn for nno f triitil- -Hint n...4.1.:.

In view of the general scarcity of such rugs for the last four or five years and of their consequently enhanced market value, one would jiaturally expect to find them now marked at almost prohibitive rates. The rugs in this Sale are not only priced below what the market calls for, but they are priced considerably below our own mini mum figures. This does not mean that they are as low as they were in pre-war days, for that is o.ut of the question. It does mean that they are marked at less than any rugs of the kind can be bought for today, probably anywhere at this side of the Dardanelles. They make an impressive show in all the glory of colors and diversity of decorative Persia, China, Turkey in Asia, the Cau casian districts and India the weaving and coloring arts of all these ancient lands are reflected in an exhibition here that charms the eye and opens up a beautiful field of sound investment. Three especially attractive groups of small rugs, all of them first cousins, are the Shirvans, Daghestans and Cabestans, noted for a boldness and cheeriness of color and design, and in which red, blue, ivory and green prevail, are priced at $95 to $225 in sizes approximately 4x5 to 4x7 feet.
