COSTLY WALL PAPERS
Artistic Ways of Papering Walls and Ceilings
Expensive Grades Marked Down

paper is always good in small rooms or
with low ceilings. Unless the ceilings
are high a figured border with cartridge
paper is not desirable.
AS many hnusekeepers wish borders
with their wall papers. even when Jne
ceilings are low. one must consider how
10 have them without spelling the pro-
portions of the room. The only posi-
he thing IS that the finish shall be-
very narrow one. II pictures are 10 be

For a dining room nothing Is preLueI
than 2 plain cartridge paper. Instead
OF hanging pictures there, a most pleas

house is obtained by using china plates,
hanging them quite as one docs p ictuies.
Narrow shelves put over the sldehOard
OF other furniture against the wall 10
hold plates. also furnish ertistically.
and wider shelves may hold brass, cop
per or pewter. ANY carpenter will make
such shelves inexpensively from exact
measurements.
High ceilings. which make furnishing
an ordinary house difficult, may be
quite changed in effect by The paper.
Flowered designs are pretty, and eX-
tremely wide borders should finish the
top. As border paper is frequently eX-
pensive il will be found better, and
quite as pretty, If one chooses carefully,
