chief rule to be observed is to avoid
using metal as much as possible. Acids

brass; consequently, if kept in such
for any length of time they become
highly poisonous. Always use wooden
spoons and forks. German house

Wall Paper Beauty.
The dernier cri is landscapes in
panels, either replicas of famous paint
ings or original sketches of flowers
and trees, brooks, hills, and meadows.
They are done on tremendously wide
sheets which match together like a
Japanese picture, to make one grand
and great whole around the room
The landscape panels are sometimes
alternated with plain panels. They are
used for library, dining room, hall, and
foyer and cost S. a sheet.
A sleeping room novelty is grass
paper with narrow, undulating lines
traced closely up and down upon it,
either blue, green, or other hue.
The frieze is the same with round,
conventional flowers blossoming over
the grass.
Flower and trellis papers are still
pets for sleeping rooms, the trelIis
smaller than before, and roses the ia
vorite flower.
Dressing rooms are papered with
elaborate and chic fancies in art
nouyeau and MORE models.
Drawing rooms have two toned
ideas, stripes, small figures, and some
times figures over the stripes.
Green is the watchword for wall pa
per tints, pale green most of all
Brown comes second and yellow
third, and everything delicate comes
before the dark, heavy shades that
have been the mode of late.
MoiTe papers are fashions favorites,
although not such favorites as last sea
