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 grim. ■ ■■••< . - , .. •-!. . .

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.
