The Path of Honor Is Still the
Path to Safety and Glory
That's the thought and speech of the hale
and hearty old father of President Harding,
who stood with glistening eyes near to his son
at the Capitol in Washington on the day of the
inauguration, and a proud and happy day it was
for both father, and son.
Fathers and sons all over the world are
cheered by this happyfying incident.
Let the sons try harder to be worthy of the
fathers, and let the fathers feel deeper concern
and greater interest in iie success of their boys.

C i npHEIR carpets are unique and
unusual, without the grotesque
figures which occur in many of their art
fabrics."
It was of the Chinese that the above was written.
You will sec the truth of it reflected in the Chinese carpets
that we are showing. Chinese carpets aro indeed "unique and
unusual." Probably the most unusual thing about them is that
nobody with even the most superficial knowledge of Oriental rugs
can ever mistake Chinese rugs for those of any other land.
Chinese rugs have come down very much in price within the
last year or so, notwithstanding that they have been and continue
to be in cxtraordinaiy demand.
It is one of those contrary or anomalous conditions one
associates with things Chinese.
We are glad to have such a remarkably good collection of
Chinese weaves in carpet sizes at prices practically down to the
pre-war level. And they are fine, dependable pieces, too.
