Room rapered win E-n,elone..

A most quaint and novel way of pa.
pering a room has lately been invented
by a young lady of more originality
than taste. She has adorned the walls
OF her special sanctum with the en-
velopes Of all the letters she has re-
ceived for the last few years. These
are, OF course, of every conceivable
shape, color and size. and also bear
sll kinds of stamps and handwritings,
so the effect is most odd. she has
pursued no plan in regard to them, but
2 pasted them on the walls in all
kinds of positions as soon as she has
received them. The effect is startling,
but it cannot be said to be in any way
artistic.
