Chemical Seals
Rugs From Dirt
CHICAGO <ttP>—Runs which "all
but eliminate the problem of dirt
feature the home accessories pic-
ture this year.
The new rugs, sure to make a big
hit with housewives bedeviled by
dirt, are treated with chemicals
known as silicones which shut out
■ lust and loose dirt.
The silicones were brought into
the battle against dirt after long
study of fabrics with the electronic
microsco|«' which revealed millions
of tiny holes and crevices in the
fibers where ordinary screening
ag""ts could not reach.
The tiny silicones, less than a
millionth of an inch in diameter,
simply move into the little holes
and dents in the fibers and fill
them leaving a smooth, hard sur-
I face impervious to dirt.
Another feature of the home ac-
cessories picture is the growing
use of leather.
Nearly aOO shades of leather
have appeared for use in every-
thing from table tops to draperies
and wall coverings.
Most accessories are what one
expert termed "elegant and prac-
tical at the same time" and scaled
' to the size of the mid-century's
smaller rooma.
The top place in the color pref-
erences still goes to the beiges, tans
and cocoas, followed closely by
