RUGS Do you realize the importance of the floor covering? How it alone largely controls the appearance of tne room? Use as beautiful and artistic furniture as you wish if your rug is wrong, your whole room is wrong and can not fail to grate on your taste for the beautiful. On the other hand, a beautiful rug adds a certain warmth and coziness to any room regardless of the furniture.

“Oriental Ballet."

The royal press agent refuses to go into detail about this comfc opera, but the camel in ene of his ruminating moods the

other day was overheard to say that the oriental ballet’* was now “some specialty and had been vastly improved since the days when It was first perpetrated. It was his opinion that the Murat “toe dancers’’ had obtained valuable information from Serge de DiaghilefTs Ballet Russe company when it appeared in the city recently. The camel even hinted some of the "soil” would be reproduced with a Moslem flavor. Another feature of the opera is the musical numbers interpolated during the action of the piece by the “Bedouin Chanters," including Samuel L. Potter, Charies J. W. Parker. Jr.. Homer Van 'Vie. J. Raymond Lynn, Fred M. Loomis, Oliver W. Isensee. W. H. Morrison, Jr., Benjamin A. Richardson. Jr. A new attraction for today was an exhibition by the Gatling gun squad, the members of which are all Shrlners.

There comes a time when they must assume a more serious turn of mind—and usually this time comes suddenly for those who would absorb the secrets of the ancient Arabic order must be tried and tested.
