Discretion In 8eleotlng Wall Papers
and Bordore.
You hear much talk about one
paper having “a good design’* and
another having “a poor design.”
Not one person in a thousand real
ly knows what a good design is. Yet
if you put a poor design upon your
walls you will injure the effect of
your room without being able to ac
count for it. Follow the better part
of valor, as you.so,often do in buy
ing dress goods; get a plain color,
as “always satisfactory,” /‘not like
ly to go out of fashion,” and so oh.
Be wury in the mutter of -borders
■ and friezes/ In these a good design
is seldom to bo had. Also, they are
generally- too narrow, obliging ; yo'u
to'put your picture at-the junc
ture with the . wall paper, which
may be entirely tho wrong place for
it. The right place for a picture
molding is even with tho tops of the
different heights of doors and win
dows, and it should be even with
the greatest number.
A simple und satisfactory wdy of
treating a room is to carry the calci
mine of the ceiling down to the pic
ture molding, possibly eighteen
inches or more, and let the paper
begin there. Obviously the ceiling
should be one of tho lightest shades
of the paper or else cream' color.
Some pretty rooms have been made
by selecting a good paper frieze and
calcimining or painting the rest of
the wall to match one of its darker
colors;, If the' frieze is not wide
enough, its lower edge may be set
at the proper height and the ceiling
color- carried down to- its upper
edge. The upper edge of leaves or
some other irregularity may even
be. cut 4>ut before pasting it upon
the wall.—Isabel McDougall in Pile

- Crash Curtains, s
Brown linen is among the recent
innovations ter dressing a window.
It is particularly effective where
the room is treated in ecru or in
different tones of yellow.
Curtains of this have interlet
tings of heavy cluny lace and many
rows of hemstitching. The con
trast of the white lace and the dark
linen is quite ptri'.dng and pretty,
Whilo this style of hanging is more
frequently used in the Dedroom,
curtains of linen for the dining
room are good.
Crash, old fashioned crash of tho
dish towel variety, cun also be used
with splendid success as window
curtaining.' Tho courser tho mesh
tho belter the effect, and as this is
very cheap in price the fashion
should be welcomed by young or
economical housewives.

This novelty is supposed to bo

delicate in material and form than

It is made of white rustic straw

It looks prettiest when filled with
