A NURSERY FEleZE AND DADO.

A lady who has the opportunity Of col
lecting an unusual number OF advertising
pictures from a brother-in-law druggist,
her own husbands insurance office, her
fathers dry-goods establishment and
their family grocer has made dado and
a frieze for the nursery which are ex-
ceptionally pretty and quite works Of art.
For the frieze she selected such figures
only from a collection of years. as
were quaint near the same size. and

moving procession representing 'he figures

chairs bridal professions, political pro-
cessions. figures abreast and tandem.
but all moving on. And all the figures
are nearly the same size. In nearly cor
rect proportions, so 1t looks ike a veri-
table procession. and. as no figure Is re-
peated. it is never ending source OF
interest TO the children.
The dado is composed OF heads--either
pretty childish faces. or comical faces. or
donkeys'. dogs. cats. OF other animals
faces or heads These are approximately
the same size. varying from five to seven
inches in proportions.
They are arranged, one close upon an
other. the entire distance around the
room. Occasionally two or three heads
which occupy about the same space in
printing together In group are admitted
preserved throughout the entire dado. A
"smailish"- head Is put In about every
third one, and extra large heads every
third one. and a medium-sized every third.
etc.
OF course, any such arrangement as
this described would be admissible only
