MOST SUITABLE FOR YOUTH

Braided Rugs That May Be Made at Home Effective Adornments for Young Man’s Room. What could be nicer for a young man’s room than one of the new braided rugs? These rugs are made out of discarded neckties and it is quite the thing nowadays for young ladies' porch work. ’• ■ Put together two bright ties and a dark one, braid quite tight and fasten each end to the next (after they are braided), so the seams will not show. As they are braided roll in a ball until enough has been sewed. The rugs are made round or oblong and are sewed together and pressed quite flat. Very proud is the possessor of one of the necktie rugs. The real old-fashioned rag rug is also being used. To make these sew together in a long strip rags of one color and about an inch and a half wide. Make three balls and braid together. Make the rug up exactly like the necktie rug.
