The only good excuse for making divisions <strong>of</strong> this kind is that one wishes to lower the appearance <strong>of</strong> a room, which is too high. When rooms are not large, it is a good plan to paper those opening into each other alike, especially halls, living and dining rooms; and a small patterned, or nearly plain gray or pale buff paper may be used throughout,\whether the rooms are north or south, since the colorings in the furnishings <strong>of</strong> each room would emphasize yellow and rose tones in the north rooms, and cool greens and blues in those full <strong>of</strong> sunlight. The one color <strong>of</strong> wall harmonizes the whole. In any color scheme which includes adjoining rooms, be sure that you keep the strength <strong>of</strong> wall tone about the same throughout. By this I mean, do not have one room very light and another dark, for there is a great gain in richness and dignity THE QUESTION OF WALL PAPER (CONTINUED FROM PASS 309) when the several rooms agree in the depth <strong>of</strong> their coloring. There is nothing to say in praise <strong>of</strong> the fancy cutout borders. They are not only a needless expense but they are poor decoration, for they put a wavy, weak line, at the place where carpenters and plasterers have made one <strong>of</strong> the straight lines in the building. Since the walls <strong>of</strong> the room must support a heavy ceiling and other walls above, any decoration where walls and ceiling join must be firm and true in line as though a part <strong>of</strong> the building. A simple wooden moulding around the room is therefore the best finish, but for a less expensive line <strong>of</strong> color use the. straightedged paper borders, which have firm, simple designs and look like stenciled bans. For one <strong>of</strong> the great rules <strong>of</strong> art is this: that a decoration inust never weaken, even in appearance, that whichj ' t decorates. Ceilings should be light and may be And.afterwards ' we need-a rest, " , ¦ ., ' ¦.. ' ¦ • •¦ Our dirty dishes we detest, -.- -v . „ . . - . , And therefore,, since the sleepy elves. . ;• . '; I wish you had seen them, bronzed and tanned. . I wish you had heard the brownie band: Drummers and pipers and bluebell ringers And'a chosen chorus <strong>of</strong> bullfrog singera, Each <strong>of</strong>_ them croaking with all his might. "Brownie's the queen <strong>of</strong> my heart tonight." " "Qfra iffTnf l-A tho \ Palarpl" flnmpntip said; • ' "Here, "Your Majesty, right ahead!" The gates <strong>of</strong> the palace were opened The Whole Adventure Was Just a Dream wide, The guards saluted on either side, And Brownie said, as the gate shut fast, "And so I'm really a queen at last!" ***** It isn't pleasant, you may suppose. (Awaking with a little scream) The whole adventure j us t a DREAM.

Ceiling papers show only the smallest powdered dots or [flakes, never any distinct figures. Do not attempt to put oh new paper over old, no matter how firmly the first coat sticks. To remove the old, use hot water with a handful <strong>of</strong> saltpeter to each paiKul and apply with a long brush. Wait a few minutes and apply again 'and the paper, will soon, loosen. This work .is not pleasant until it is finished! Finally : do not be deceived into thinking that a wall paper cannot be artistic unless it is expensive, nor that wall papers which are expensive aresuretobe desirable. Either one may be very artistic or very ugly; so it is only safe to select the paper because <strong>of</strong> its quiet coloring and design, and for the good reason that after carefully studying your problem you believe it is the right one for your particular room
