Decorative textiles; an illustrated book on coverings for furniture, walls and floors, including damasks, brocades and velvets, tapestries, laces, embroideries, chintzes, cretonnes, drapery and furniture trimmings, wall papers, carpets and rugs, tooled and illuminated leathers . inders; the other cloth con-sists of two white wefts treated as one, alternating with a green anda yellow weft treated as one, and held together by alternate white andyellow binders. Where the carpeting is in two separate cloths, one is of plain redand black; the other plain white and green and yellow. The figuresare formed by interchanging the positions of the warps and wefts,so that a portion of the upper cloth is woven as the lower, andvice versa. Where the two sets of cloths meet or pass through eachother, they are firmly bound together, and in order that they may befirmly bound together into a durable structure, it is desirable that thepoints of intersection be frequent. Strong colours are dangerous iningrains, usually spotting or scratching, but when skilfully com-bined produce results that appeal to persons of large decorativeexperience and keen colour perception. A feature of the two-plyingrain is that the colours on the back of the carpet exactly reversethose on the face. 161. (a) Weaving the flat strips
