THE ARTISTIC WALL.
One Of Solid Color viii Always Give
Best Effect.

The dearest, daintiest, most artistic
wall is a solid colored wall. 1t fur.
nislles perfect background for all
kinds of pictures, It throws them out
in their correct proportions, and does
not detract from their artistic value.
The solid colored wall is also much
better as a background for furniture.
and harmonizes much more artistical.
~ with carpets and rugs than any
other method of wall treatment. The
less breaking up of color on a wall
the more artistic. 1t is.
The most successful form of the
solid cotored wall is an alabastined
wall. There is as much difference be-
tween tinted walls, as there is be.
tween shoddy and all-wool gowns. The
shoddy gown holds it's color for a few
days, while the all-wool keeps its color
to the very last thread. so also in solid
colored walls, there are shoddy walls
and permanently cOlored walls which
retain their color down to the very
last particle. The ideal wall coating
off and is always ready for fresh
coat. II there is wallpaper on the
wall, soak it off with warm water,
then go over the plaster after you
have removed the paper with warm
water to remove every trace Of paste
Have the wall thoroughly clean for a
clean wall cannot he built on an un.
clean foundation. If there are any
particles of foreign matter adhering
to the wall scrape them off with a
putty knife. Then if there are any
discolorations on the wall, size it with
a material made from cheap varnish,
thinned down with benzine and japan
added for a drier, then cover your
wall with your tinting material.
Be sure your man uses tinting ma
terial mixed with cold water. If he
comes to you and asks for warm wa
ter, YOU can make up your mind that
there is glue in the material which he
proposes to put on your wall, and you
can be certain that you are going to
have a shoddy wall, for glue means
shoddy. Glue means that it will hold
its color long enough for the man to
collect his bill and not much longer.
Insist on your tinting material being
mixed with clear, cold water. Be sure
that your wall is made from pure ma
terials, then you will have a perma.
nent, artistic, sanitary wall. A wall
that will be q ching of beauty and q
Joy forever"

Evelyn Thaw Called.
Evelyn Nes5;t Thaw was called ia
the stand in the effort of the defense
to keep Hummel silent. She declared
she had called upon Hummel in his
professional capacity and to seek his
advice as lawyer. Justice Fitzgerald
declared that, admitting the PROPOSE

admitted that two indictments for sub.

mission to introduce the carbon and
Photographic copies of the affidavit in

hour. and Mr.. Delmas asked that ad.
journment be taken before arguing as
to the admissibility of the affidavit. He
said that after reading the paper
over he might not object to its being
offered in evidence. Coming, as it
does," he said, I'm such questionable
shape, we may deem it best to have
the paper 60 in evidence"
District Attorney jerome completed
