the exquisitely fine French hand embroidered, or rever, or tape border.

Consider the
Werth and
Symbolism of a
Chinese Rug
Here, for instance, are
some new ones that we
have just unbaled, and
the patterns of which are
an interesting study.
Fer in this one little
let alone there is the
most naive revealment of
the Chinese imagination.
Of course, you knew
hew they love strong, de
cisive colors, remarkable
blues, golden hues, mul
berry, salmon and orange
tones of varying inten
sity. But it is in the pattern
or decoration that the
distinctive Chinese note
becomes assertive.
In these particular
pieces it takes the form
of birds and butterflies
for longevity, the Dragen
for sovereignty; and it
expresses itself in dogs
and monkeys and ether
strange forms, rich in
symbolism for the Ori
ental mind.
It would seem as if
these people having gene
through all the cycles or
stages of esthetic evolu
tion had frankly turned
toward strange and bar
baric standard!.
That a geed Chinese
rug makes a valuable
and most interesting gift
there is no need te say.
It is with the greatest
pleasure we call atten
tion te these new ones,
for they are of just the
quality and in the colors
and designs that invest
them with exceptional
interest.
Sizes as low as 2x4 and
2.6x5 ft. and up te 4.6x7
