The nursery papers, with their poster
effects are not specially popular in Mime
apolis. Few families set apart room as
nursery and consequently they have lit
tie use for paper which tells the story of
"Goody Two Shoes" or MARY Had Lit

so charming that one could not blame a
woman if she did sacrifice her husband 8

The demand for wall paper began about
two weeks ago and will continue I'D to

There are seldom as many new things
shown in the fall as in the summer and
consequently the spring demand is much
the larger.

Their description is too vague to be I'M

filled with a side wall that was put on a

The new wall papers shown this spring
must have been designed by an artist and
drawn with bold hand. There is a free
dom in both design and execution that is
fascinating and gives an unusual interest
to the papers, whether they represent a
nook in rose garden or corner in a
marsh. There Is a poppy design that
brings glowing mass of color around the
angle, q crown frieze the paperman calls
it, and q chrysanthelnum pattern, which
shows those heavy-headed flowers nodding

or The Climbers lit
CLIMBERS" tie but praise has been
heard for its unconven-
tionalities of plot and treatment.
The theme is the social climbing
OF New York family whose
efforts to be showily fashionable
are attended by difficulties. Mr.. Fitch
has done some of his best work in this
field of dramatic fiction, but even he is
considered to have surpassed himself in
this brilliant play of social life. The
part Of Mrs. Sterling is the really worthy
one among the daughters OF vain ana
ambitious mother, who is of humble
origin but has succeeded in marrying into
the best element Of society. The strug-
giles OF this widow Mrs. Hunter, and her
youngest daughter, backed by coterie
Of their own to obtain admittance into
frivolous set OF the 400 furnishes the
satirical comic element OF the play. The
figure Of Blanche Sterling. the married
daughter who in spite Of a bitterly dis
appointing marriage, succeeds in living
high minded, noble life, forms a strik-
ingly effective contrast. Her husband Is
a moral coward who becomes involved in
Wall street dealings, approprates first
the funds Of the family which are en-
trusted to his care, and then those Of his
clients. His wife makes heroic efforts
to save him, assisted by the friend Of the
family, Edward Warden. Love develops
between Mrs. Sterling and Warden, but Is
mastered.

take it if he would repaper, but she
simply couldn't live with such hideous
patterns on the walls. There was moth

the front hall through the kitchen.
Some Of the new patterns reproduce the
quaint old hunting scenes that were in
vogue fifty years ago. They are better
colored and better drawn than the old de-
signs, and the perspective of the paths
down which the deer and dogs are running
is really quite good. They come in the

being chosen for dining-rooms. Then
there are golf designs in which the play
ers are shown on the putting green.
Other dining-room papers are the art

and very simple in design. One has a
lotus, a very much conventionalized
lotus, running gracefully over it's red or
blue background Others are in panel de-
signs with narrow dados and borders
which seem but combinations of the side
walls. A room papered with one of these
patterns would be a haven Of rest to
