NOVELTY IN TABLE COVERS

Of Tapestry Edged With Metal Galloon They Are an Effective Ornament. Extremely effective are the covers for the table in the library or living room made of tapestry, edged with the metal galloon. The shops offer the wool, or wool and silk tapestry, in unusually handsome combinations of colors. Some tapestries the metal threads woven into the designs, this being the case especially with the changeable effects. The cover is cut to fit the top exactly or may be made in the form of a long runner hanging well over the ends or sides of the table; or, in some cases, it is made square, hanging down on all four sides. A,banding of the galloon finishes the edge and sometimes a second band, paralleling this a few inches from the edge, is used. A cover of this sort is not only artistic, but has remarkable wearing qualities. , It may be said in passing that short lengths of the tapestry are often to be found at much under regulation price. Agents’ samples are especially well adapted to covers of this sort.
