By Dsesrater and Furniyher.
The dado Of wall paper Is little used At

A deep wRinscoting of hard wood or q
movable hanging fastened By hooks to Z
rail or molding is honest and seryiceable,
and should be employed when such hori.
sontaI division Of the wall space Is desira-
Bile
The friexe still remains in favor and re-
tains its place in nearly all schemes Of wall
decoration Its width depends, Of course,
on the height OF the room, and with the
dado or wainseoting it aids in modifying
the unnecessary height OF the ordinary
modern room. The lowering of the ceiling
In many of the new houses will have the
effect Of narrowing these finishing bands
into the old fashioned borders, or Of dis
placing them altogether.

desired, frieze Of flock paper. with bold
