Although the Germans were always

swordsmanstip, y h i'm Italy that we
find the first development Of that
nImblcr, more regulated, more cum

have learned 10 associate with the
term fencing. II N from Italy that
fencing as refined art first spread
over Europe, not from Spain, rs il has
been asserted by many writer's.
It is I'm the Italian rapicr play Of the
late sIxtccnta century that We fnd the
foundations Of fencing in the modern
sense of the word. The Italians II we
take thcfr early books as evidence and

was adopted by all Europe were the

slaughter possessed by the point ns

lavenders-indeed, all the fainter tones
are among the new things in wall pa
pers. The fad of the moment is to dec
crate the house in various tones of one
color. Contrast in neighboring rooms
where different colors actually swear
at each other is not to be tolerated by
the up to date furnisher. The true col
orist is born, of course, but if this gra-
dation of tone was oftener employed
that desirable thing, home in which
nothing jars, would not be so rare
This harmony of coloring extends to
woodwork and floors. The oaks are now
stained to blend well with soft green
paper. pitch pine with turquoise, and
so on down the color scale.
Furniture should be considered much
more than it is in relation to wall COW
erings. Antique furniture of the Chip
pendale and Sheraton schools always
looks best against turquoise wall,
| fumed oak against a conventional de-
| sign of green or vivid yellow, while
light woods show up better when a
pastel tint is used on the walls. Ivory
tone woods cry out for a background
of dainty floral paper, ivory painted or
self colored walls of delicate tone with
a floral frieze.
| A dainty dining room, recently deco
rated by a young housewife whose
wealth consisted more of originality
than of dollars, was carried out in
wedgwood china effects. The apart
ment so treated was rather small and
responded well to dainty designs. The
walls were hung with an inexpensive
fabric of the blush gray tint peculiar
to the best wedgwood specimens. A
deep frieze of darker blue tint, decorat-
ed with Wedgwood figures in grayish
blue, was used. A novel idea evolved by
this little woman was to paint and
enamel her rather commonplace dining
room furniture, which fortunately hap
pened to be of the mission style On
the floor was laid a large rug of the
Japanese blue and white wash variety
The door drapery was of rich blue
velour, and the window curtains were
of art net. The charming effect of this
room was heightened when the table
was set with white eggshell china.
A Dutch dining room is a simple
matter to evolve this fall, as a new
wall paper has been made carrying out
Hollandish scenes and people in pane
and frieze effects. This paper is no
cheap, but is wonderfully odd and eff
fective In connection with odd dining
rooms, Nine. Christine Nilsson hal
probably the most uniquely papered on
in the world. The walls are decorated
with hotel bills which she had paid il
her journeys around the world.
Her sleeping room has, in place of tn
conventional wall covering, leaves o
music from the operas in which sh
has sung.
Novelties in wall hangings in the or
binary home are apt to be firing, ant
the artistic furnisher fights shy of &c
centrfcities; but true recognition o
the relation of color in the house vii
bring about charming and restful ef
lfects, ELINOR HEWITT.

tumn the housewives fancy
busily turns to thoughts of re-
decorating" her house. In
fact. refurnishing and refurbishing
generally is the order of these melan-
choly autumn days. The aspiring and
aesthetic house furnisher talks of moth
ing from morning till night but the
symphonies in color she is composing
for the home beautiful. There is. how
ever. nothing that requires greater care
or in which the novice in art matters
shows her ignorance more than in
choosing a wall paper.
The choice is not only a difficult one
from the color and design point of
view. but also from the necessity of re-
garding in ones mental vision the ex-
act effect a pattern will have when
hung on the walls of a room. A paper
which is extremely effective when seen
in a small piece often proves disap-
pointing when hung. 1t is insignificant
or. worse still, to use a trade term,
spotty on the walls. while a pattern
considered handsome and suitable in
the shop may prove too heavy and
large for the apartment which it is de-
sired to adorn.
Doubtless in the choice of paper there
lies much good and bad fortune, but at
the same time luck may be assisted
wonderfully Dy the learning OF certain
rules. which the novice will do well to
lay to heart and even to commit to pa
per before she commences that delight
full task of decorating a house, for ev-
cry one knows that a room in the
wrong color is a really serious blunder
Articles of apparel are easily and often
inexpensively replaced, but the decora-
ton of a room is not undertaken in the
average home every year or at the die
tates of the imperious Madam Fashion:
therefore when tits done it should be
well done.
First and foremost, the aspect of a
room is an all important consideration
also the fact of its being a light or
dark. high or low. narrow or wide
apartment. A southern exposure should
be treated with light colors-bIues and
silver greens, for instance-while a
room which gets it's light from the
north should have pink and yellow. red
gold or brown. If a west or east ex-
posure is to be COPIED with the choice
is not restricted. for almost any tone
is good. When that ever welcome
guest. the sun, never or seldom visits a
room, yellow of bright shade is re-
quired. while. on the other hand, in q
room well lit even by artificial means
may safely be placed green, turquoise
or red colorings. 1t is well to remem-

exactly reversed, and one may go re-
joicing on a hoWery way. And there
are arbitrary laws about the use of the
frieze. A high ceiled room Graves one
of these pretty borders, while a low one
is raised in imagination when papered
in the same tone to the ceiling. And
now a word as to ceilings themselves.
AS a rule, plain paper or calciminfng
done in the tint of least value used in
the room decoration is the artistic aim,
but should the side walls be hung with
plain paper minus border small fig
ured design in paper or a light, har-
monizing tint is particularly good
When paper is to be chosen for sew
eral rooms it is a fine idea to note their
exact size, height, aspect, number OF
windows, design of carpets and cur
tains to be used in each room, with as
many patterns of these as you can

ICES how much the physical and mental
health of the occupant of a room de-
ponds upon the selection of wall COW

Too much red in q room is like the
constant blare of brass band, while a
soft tint unconsciously soothes the
nerves and induces that restfulness
that should emanate from an artistic
choice of coloring-
The most striking features of the new
