Price is no indication of quality; therefore, the homemaker V E  
should be able to judge and recognize materials and processes from i A Z l
which satislactory wear may be expected. lt 1S always wise to buy l  
. . . . I r
from a merchant of unquesuonable integrity. Most manufacturers i Q
advise the purchase of better grades of less expensive weaves rather i ¤§
than poor grades of more costly ones. For instance, a high—quality i _ {
Axminster would be a better buy than a low quality \Vilton. I

>or when wet, care should be taken to keep them dry. Paper yarns, l "  
sometimes used as a substitute for jute, hemp or cotton, mainly as    
and stulfers, are fairly strong when dry but disintegrate when wet. ()ver- l' * ,  
ring sizing of backing materials gives temporary stillness and is often   il
rers. lound in cheaper rugs. An examination of the backing material will .    
disclose strength of body or mere stiffness which will disappear   -.  
with use. _ A   °  
Rubber and pyroxylin are sometimes used as a backing material    
which locks the pile so that the edges of the carpeting will not fray   it  
when cut. Because it is possible to cut the rug without fraying the l` rl
edges, they do not require binding and may be cut to Ht irregulari— j  
ties in the shape ol` the lloor and for patches. E. O? rl
Carpet cushions used under floor coverings increase the wear  
of the coverings in proportion to the thickness and resilience of · -l 4·r·  
the lining fabric. Shorter-pile rugs show the greatest increase in  
tlurability. The best type of cushion is made of felted animal hair   f
tteélted with a chemical solution that renders it permanently moth-  
proof. Cushions are available for all sizes of rugs, carpeting, 1`tlIl·  
¤€l‘S and stair pads. The cost ol the cushion should be considered    
35 part of the outlay [or the new lloor covering.
