The unglazed surface of the wall papers of our forefathers offered q happy hunting ground for microbes. The glazed washable papers now more generally in use are great im- provement, as well as the various plain and figured paintable surfaces. Upon the whole, the smooth-painted wall is most in touch with modern sanitary principles. Certainly, in the case of rooms inhabited by consump- tive patients, the use of ordinary wall papers should be prohibited by en- frightened local authorities if they had the necessary powers for the pur- pose.-Ladies' Medical Press.

collar OF coarse string colored lace
and a broad band OF applique. The
skirt was tucked almost the entire

wide applique of the lace. The wide,
crushed belt was of black panne, and
the underwaist was of sheer white CHI
