WALL PAPER.
SOME OF THE LATEST DESIGNS
The Styles Suitable for Different
Rooms-Improvements in
Quality.

A truly wonderful advancement has
been made in the manufacture of wall
paper within short term Of years and it
seems as If nothing could exceed in
beauty some Of the designs shown in the
spring stock Of wall paper stores. Care
full designing and coloring run through
all styles and grades OF paper and the
humblest home may have wall decora-
tions as artistic, il not as rich in quality
as one where the cost need not be as care
fully studied.
There are many styles OF paper suited
in quality and design to the needs of the
various rooms in house. The most del
icate designs and daintiest colors are
shown for the decoration Of parlor walls
in nearly every kind OF paper. For halls,
libraries and dining-rooms the preference
is for heavy papers in rich colors and
very intricate patterns. For bedrooms,
papers of light quality and simple design
are shown. Almost any inexpensive pa
per is chosen for bathrooms and kitchens
The vanished or English tile paper was
brought out for such use, a few years ago,
and has proved to be very desirable. 1t
does not harbor Impurities and may be
cleaned with soap and water without in
jury.
Most papers show the same design in
wall surface, ceiling and frieze, varied to
suit the requirements of each. The cell
ing is usually of lighter or more open
pattern than frieze or wall and also more
delicate in tint. Some papers have
ceiling and frieze of like tint, to be used
with side wall paper, into which other
color has been introduced. The frieze as
now made is as rule, from 10 TO Is
inches wide and in it the side wall pat
tern is greatly elaborated. Ceilings and
friezes are sometimes frescoed and the
side walls hung with paper.
Paper dealers nowadays consider the
size and location of rooms also when sug.
costing suitable wall papers. If the room
is small a paper having small design
that will not take away from its dimen-
sions as recommended and vice versa.
Rooms having windows facing toward
the north have a more comfortable look
when hung with paper of warm tone,
but those into which the sunshine pours
may have papers either warm or cold in
color.
The light tints that prevailed last year
are giving way to brighter color and the
rocco style is prednmhant in this sea;
sons papers. Blue in various shades
seems to be favorite color for back
grounds. Floral designs festooned in
Louis XVI style are conspicuous and are
often very brilliant in color. Papers with
background striped in Vatican style and
having punches of flowers scattered over
the surface are entirely new and very
handsome. They are best suited to bed
room walls. Moorish and Persian de-
signs are shown in embossed leather and
metallic effects in library and hall papers.
Plain and ingram papers are very pop
ular and make an effective background
for picturrs. Some of the new papers
have shining satin backgrounds, upon
which are stamped empire wreaths or
floral designs: Tapestry, applique, leath-
er, Reconsideration and metallic paper
are among the most costly wall decora-
tons, but since some Of these very ele-
CANT styles have been brought out the
price OF ordinary wall papers has been
greatly reduced.
