monotony of having the drawing room
in the least resemble the dining room
But if you decide against the reds fol
the latter, there are some very stun
! ming drawing room papers in the ubi-
quitous reds and green's. One of the
newest papers is called the "frock, -
from its resemblance to brocaded vel
vet. and a room just finished in this
/ rich red "frock'' paper, with molding
and ceiling of ivory, is a superb piece
of decoration. A similar design in en-
pre- green, with the ivory moldng and
I ceiling, is equally charming. Another
entirely new paDer-indeed, only the
samples are as yet on the markets.

sembies raw silk, and comes in solid
] colors in the shades of red, green, terra
Gotta and yellow, and has running
/ through it, at about a fingers distance
apart, narrow embossed stripes
! Where it is desirable that the drawing
room should be light in tone one may
avail oneself of some of the exquisite
creations in pale pink, and among the
expensive embossed papers there is any
variety of delicate tints. One of the
leading decorators in the country is
showing a roll of the paper with which
he has just done up the reception
room of one of New York's most ele-
CANT houses. The designs of these en-
bossed papers is first stamped into the
paper. and over it is pasted thin
quality Of red satin. A deeply embossed
ivory figure on a pale blue background
was also ideally beautiful. Among the
more delicate shades of the two-toned
stripes a very delightful effect has been
produced by giving the lighter color
the shimmering appearance of watered
silk. Gilt papers have almost disap-
peared. Lincrusta walton is always in
vogue for, large rooms, where one
doesn't mind pretty good outlay in
the beginning. Once on, it may almost
be said to last forever, for it may be
repeatedly cleaned or painted over in
any tint one may choose, with it's spec
ial design picked out according to
ones fancy.
Another absolute new paper is called
the Buckram, and could scarcely be
distinguished from blue denim This is
supposed to be especially adapted to
dens, though it is quite as suitable for
a dining room in blue. Real burlap, I

shade, is also very effective in both |
dens and dining rooms. put up with !

Tile paper is very much less used |
than formerly for the bath room. a

joins unless, indeed. one avails himself
Of the zinc wall paper one of the latest
inventions in the way of decorations.
1t is made to initiate the most beauti-
full varieties in marble and tile, and is
really not distinguishable from them.
It is attached to the wall by a cement
made for the purpose, is permanent and
washable. and is, of course, much
cheaper than either marble or tiles.
Another new feature of the season
