Rugs in the house

That ragged little throw rug that whisked its owner about the ether was just a fairy tale. But carpets are magic nonetheless for they help to carry us toward the realization of an almost universal American dream.

This dream is not the exclusive property of dewy-eyed brides. It is shared by middle-aged me and Grandma Jones. It includes garbage disposal units, soft deep chairs and solar heating. It is, in short, the dream of a perfect home.

Chances are it is not very large, unique or pretentious, this dream house of yours and mine, but in addition to the appliances and conveniences we Americans demand today it has the virtue of being good to look at.
