' There are also linoleums in very handsomu ; Art designs at Is. 3d., 55.. 6d., "and 6s. 6d? per square yard.' ■ Thou wo have inlaid linoleums in a sort ot Eoftenea offect, not cleart)- cut like the familiar tile designs. • . . .',•., , '.--■.' ■ . And a new line is tho plain malting'effect ~^ in n. cheaper linoleum, which we stock iu ; - ' ! red, cream, and green.- ■ ' - : ■'■■■■•'.' . i The latest idea in linoleums is the : parquetry flooring.- Thcso are in imitation of cak parquetry flooring, really an admir- - >ible imitation. They are specially adapted- ; _for halls and dining-rooms, but in a drawing- . ' rojim,~with an Onshtal carpet 6quafo in " ' ' tlfc centre, they would look very effective, - and would.set off tho' rich colours of the >' ; carpet. ~... , .-■.'.. . . Yet another liriolenm-liko floor covering is • tho cork carpet, • which.. is most suitable for bedroom's, as it is not cold to the feer . , like ordinary linoletini, and, as a'matter of fact, 1 it is made of spmo preparation ;of -cork.;-. Tho 'plain cork carpot in shndes ■ ! of green and red, and dark blue, is'very. ~ suitable for officeß, , especially if thoro were a carpet square in tho centre. , ; Wo havo this plnin at 3s. 3d., 4s. 3d,, and ' ss. 3d. por yard, und in art designs at 4s. per yard. ... . ■ • -■ i .CURTAI'wSi. . ■'. - If you ivant curtains,- you probably wn^ .casement ourtains,.as thoso are moro usod ■•.•■now than anything,also, quaint and prett" '. littlp ourtains liiuifring from top to bottom of tho window pano.
