SIMPLE WALL DECORATIONS.
New Material and New Ideas for the
Decoration of Homes.

New Material and New Ideas for the
Decoration of Homes.
The styles of home decorations have
completely changed in the last few years
and it is pleasant to say that they have
changed for the better. Time was when
We hung monstrous patterns printed on
paper against our walls, and considered
them more or less pleasantly. 1t would
hardly be fair to say that we considered
them beautiful or artistic But they
were the vogue and were put on. The
time has come when, with our better
methods for interior decoration, better
effects can be secured.
In wall coverings, whether they be
OF paint, or Of kalsomine, or of Ala
Observation-Disclosures the material used to
cover the wall-the thing desired is that
which has the greatest covering power,
as we'll as permanency and beauty of
color. Alabastine, a wall covering
ground from Alabaster rock-which
means a hard white rocks the ideal
covering for a wall.
The most beautiful wall decorations
In the world are those which are laid
on with the brush. The mural designs
In our large public buildings, and the
frescoed designs in the large cathedrals
and churches have a permanency and an
art of which wall paper is but a cheap
imitation. These mural schemes and
frescoed designs can be brought within
the reach Of the every day home. They
can be done with Alabastine, which is
permanent in it's coloring. 1t does not
rub off, and it has the soft effect of
pastelle. 1t does not peel, it does not
blister, and it is thoroughly sanitary, be-
cause 1T is not stuck on with sour paste
or smelly glue. All sorts of tapestry
effects and any kind Of mural design can
be secured; any kind of frescoing can be
done. In fact, the range of the possibili-
ties of this material are only fixed by
the artistic instincts of the person who
amateur, but the unframed person can
secure beautiful results where the ambl-
ton does not lead one into desire for
too trying effects.
A great many people defer the redec-
Grating of their rooms not only because
of the expense but because of the dlscom-
fort of it. With Alabastine there need
be no discomfort and there can be no
muss, for all that is needed, is to lay
sheet or canvas on the floor, have your
man come in with a pail, make the So
luton and simply brush it on the wall.
That is all there is to it, and the room
is perfectly clean and thoroughly reno
waited.

hers.

"No. There is more. There is more to

as she had something to say to him; and
notice that when she made this last re-

in the garden. 'Do you know why he

The Japanese foreign office at Toxic

This was all that was said at the time;
and it must be admitted that it left Mr..
Winterbourne pretty much in the same
mood of anxious perturbation. His care
worn face instantly attracted Yolande's
notice. She became aware that there
was trouble somewhere; there was kind
of restraint in the social atmosphere of
Ehe house; she even found the honest and
hearty John Shortlands given to moody
staring into the fire. So she went to her
own room, and sat down, and wrote the
following note:
"Allt-nam-ba, Friday.
My Dear Archie-We are all in a
state of dreadful depression here on ac-
count Of the bad weather, and the gen.
1iemen shut up with nothing to do.
Please, please, take pity ON us, and come
along to dinner at seven. Do you know
that Monaglen is for sale? What a joy
1T will be if Mr.. Melville should get it
back again, after all-that will indeed

establishment, then she felt inclined to
laugh.
