sarbe crepe fiber cartridge is used often
with a wide floral frieze. A rich green
naner. with a deep frieze of red poppies
Is effective. It makes a handsome din
ing room paper. The crepe fiber is used
largely for dadoes and for filling in cor
nices.
.eThe floral designs are used almost en-
tirelv for bedrooms, and you Will find
nowadays that every flower is well drawn
In a fine paper, and In the natural color
Of the flower. A woman may be willing
to wear green OF black roses on her pon-
net. but she won't a green ehrysan-
fhemums on. her wall paper. She came
to that conclusion three or four years
ago. or the paper makers decided that as
she had good taste in most things she
would like wall paper better If it was
truly artistic. and now there are no bo-
tanicai monsfrositfes to be found In the
house Of a woman who sees to the paper
ing Of her own rooms.
..The American Beauty rose is now
found on wall paper. as well as red and
yellow poppies. pink and yellow ehrysan-
themums. and wood violet is popular in
wall paper.
IAN attractive paper in the violets has
a crown frieze. There are stripes OF
green On the paper some three inches
wide. separated by ten or a dozen inches
Of white and here and there clusters OF
big wood violets. The green and deep
violet combine charmingly and the frieze
is made of bows of green like the stripe
In the paper with the violets. and the
bows are arranged at intervals SO that the
two ends fab like a crown on each two
stripes of the green in the paper.
.The chfntze stripe is always attractive
for bedrooms. The ribbon paper Is also
pretty for the same purpose. the narrow
stripes in two tones Of some soft color
having the subdued effect that Is liked
for sleeping rooms.
seThs pressed papers, with their raised
natterns are among the richest papers
made and range in price from $50 to 81
In deem tones of red and green they are
handsome for libraries and dining rooms
and halls, and in delicate tints are used
for parlo-s.
.Around New York they are used large
" without a frieze. though there are
handsome ones to match. but the rich
ness of the paper makes ii unnecessary.
Western neopfe, however. use the frieze
largely. The same two tones Of a color
come in these pressed papers as IN
others. Some of the handsome papers
of this Kind are made in imitation OF
leather. They are rich. and deep in
tones.
"A durable bathroom paper comes IN
the pressed patterns, in imitation tiles
in WHITE with a raised pattern on each
file. This paper can be cleaned. var
nished as often as required. and though
IT may tarn ye5low in time, it Is practi-
caIly fndsstruefible. 1t can be changed,
however. If there Is a desire to refurnish
the bathroom without the expense IN
CURED by replacing tiles. and this paper
rever springs as TILES are said to do from
fhe effect Of the extremes of heat and
cold. steam and ~danpness.
THE rich japanese papers in heavy
coIers. rich with deep bronze and gold, are
used for halls. and more particularly for
vesffbules. They are genuine japanese
papers. and come extra wide. three feet.
They are SIS a roll, but a japanese roll
of twelve yards IS equal to three Ameri-
can rolls. and the paper Is strong and
well made and practically imperishable-
plain two-toned papers, with Louis
XIV designs I'M either the shades Of dark
red or dark green, are used for dining
rooms and halls. A small conventional
design IN a fabric. effect. with the two
shades of the color hardly noticeable, is
a paper that looks we'll on the wall.
Medium shades are more in demand thar
those Of more pronounced tones. 4 con-
ventfonaE Empire design that comes in
a striped paper. with a soft shades of
green and terra Gotta, In an attractive
dining-roofn paper, and another Empire
design, with a white ground and fes-
toons of lowers, makes a room design
which. with a room done up in white, is
light, cheerful and particularly attrac-
tive.
THE denim effect is to be found in
a pretty paper of soft shades of green
and terra Gotta. In stripes. with an EN-
pire design"
There is no difficulty III getting good
designs for wall paper nowadays. The
marker is flooded with them. A few years
ago wall paper designing was recon-
11ended as a good Occupation for Young
women with a taste for artistic drawing
and coloring, as the dehand was greater
than the supply. That is not the case
now. Large paper manufacturers u
gest their own designs and find plenty
of competent designers to do the work.

Tho round waist rules supreme In the
bodice world this season; both import
ed and domestic waists end at the waist
line and fit snugly over the top of the
skirt. Short-taiied basques are not com-
me II faut at all. The absence of an OUT
side belt or girdle Is a decided novelty
fllis year, for heretofore the belt seemed
Indispensable, whereas now. although per-
missable, still they are not the most
fmodish finish. Another Distinguishing
feature Of the new corsages is their snug
ft--sirnpie and smooth outlines mark all
the smart ones. BY smooth, however, Is
not meant ~pla4n-while everything is
smooth. no bodice is plain.
The sleeves are perfectly plain, close To-

yet not skin fitting enough to- be uncom-
