A variety of new under lay cusnipning materials have been introduced in recent! years offering consumers a I fairly wide choice. j tit primary contribution"! of the new underlays is great er resiliency or buoyancy un derfoot. This has been achiev ed by the use of new materials -namely foam rubber, sponge rubber and ureliimie plastic foam products. Also, some of the familiar hair and jute felted paddings have ' foam rubber added to them to pro vide extra springiness. Rubber Underlays Sponge rubber underlays come either molded or smooth-surfaced. Rubber pad ding is moth and insect proof, mold and mildew proof and non-allergenic as are the plas tic foam products.

Firmer Feeling The felted hair and jute products, which are still most wiaely used, provide excel lent resiliency, though they give a somewhat firmer feel ing underfoot than the rub ber and plastic underlays. The hair -jute combinations arc usually the most economi cal, while the all-hair pads run slightly higher in price. Next up the price scale are the rubber pads, both foam and sponge rubber. Generally more buoyant than the felted pads, they are also more ex pensive. Urethene Resilient The urethane plastic pad dings fall in the highest price range of the materials cur rently available. They are considered to be exceptionally resilient. There are also several new carpets on the market with foam rubber or plastic foam padding laminated to the car pet back. This two -in -one combination eliminates the need for buying additional padding. This is not to be confused, however, with the latex coating applied to the backings of many new car pets today, which is designed to anchor the carpet tufts to the back.

When advice is being hand ed out on how to decorate homes and Rartmpnts, there is one segment of our popula tion that tends to be ignored the frequently misunder stood bachelor. What's misun derstood about him is why he aoesn t get married. After ell, this is lr.p year. As a result, this much-maligned character is often over looked when new decorating ideas are discussed or pub lished in our newspapers, magazines, or books. If he's unwilling to wed a fine girl who will free him of his deco rating problems "til denth do them part"-let him shift for himself!

"Oh yeah!" he may say. Well, let's list some reasons for this statement: 1. A carpel or rug offering the largest, unbroken area In a room can readily provide the color and design theme for the rest of his furnishnigs. Z. It s easier to keen clean than bare floors. A quick run wun the vacuum cleaner takes much less effort and time than on-the-knees scrub bing, niCppr nud tfcaxiilrf. For the bachelor sans wife, sans housekeeoer or moid. this is very important. 3. Carpet is one of the best "noise - swallowers" available for keeping a home or apart ment quiet.
