About rugs

Adequate domestic help is rapidly becoming just a nostalgic dream. Since the beginning of the war you have probably learned, if you didn't know before, what it is to be not only wife, housekeeper and mother, but cook, cleaning woman, laundress, and gardener as well.

Whether or not good help will be available again or whether you will ever want help again, most of you have become more considerate and have learned to temper your tastes with a sound dose of practicability.

Of all those decorators whose firm and unchanging tenet was "Never use anything but plain carpet," only a few die-hards remain. There is a good floorcovering for every taste and every purpose and the decorator with knowledge, training and imagination uses them all.

Above all, your home should be an expression of your own personality. It should be as becoming to you as your favorite hat, as comfortable as your oldest slippers.

Choose only those things that suit your own needs and your own tastes. Then your house will be you, and will have an individuality all its own.
