Rules for the Proper Selection of WalLpaper.

In selecting wallpaper. the character | of the room should first be given careful
 consideration. then the size should also be | taken into account. IL k for instance out
 of the question to put paper with a large
 pattern on the walls of a small room. nor
 is wide frieze possible for q room of small dimensions. Then the use to which
 the room Is 10 be put is important 10 re-
 member. thus a paper that would be
 charming for q boudoir would be inappro- priate for a dining room and vice versa The natural conditions which affect q
 room should also be taken into account
 If there are several windows fin ;he room
 and It has q rOuthern exposure the wall
 hangings may be Of some dark color. but
 if the light comes from the north warmer
 lighter tones should be used. In q dining
 room. and especially one that is especially
 planned for evening entertainments given
 ct the fashionable dinner hour. when it
 will be brilliantly illuminated. the day light may be ignored and paper that will
 look well by artificial light may be SC
 lected
 If a room is large and well lighted. the side wall should be done in large pat terms. of sIbducd colorings: soft tones of red. warm yellow and orange are all good, while pale tones and receding colOrs like greens and blues make d room which Is already large look larger. The wood work of the furniture should he in har- mony with the wood trim of the room and in contrast to the furniture coverings. If such room has a great deal of sun light. add more gray tones to the wall covering.
 A small room calls for very different treatment. A paper showing heavy lines and set figures should be avoided. anc 1T the ceiling Is ldo 1t Is better to do with out a frieze and to use perpendicular fine line effects. the parallels being wide apart In little room, white woodwork Is very advantageous, and the floor should be covered with number of rugs. h preference to a single large center rug. as when the lines of the floor are thus broken its limitations are not so apparent. Large pieces of furniture should be placed at the remote end of the room If the room Is well lighted and has a sunny exposure pale gray or soft green tones are charm ing. while the same room not well lighted will gain cheeriness hy having n white or light wood trim. light ceiling and light colored wall treatment. The draperies and furniture coverings should also be light and warm in tone. orange or yellow tones or such luminous colors being especially to be commended. Rooms that are poorly lighted should be treated so that all the light possible Is admitted.
 Use only lace or net at the windows, and If an extra window drupery Is re quired. suspend It over the wood trim and let It conceal the woodwork of the window and not the glass. The cornlce and ceiling of such a room should always be of the palest possible tones in recedinS | colors.
 Another point to be considered in pa- | pering room. Is what Is to go into that | room The furnishings and character of | the room. have much to do with the et- l feet of the wall covering. If a room has | dull woodwork. silk papers are very good | style. while If there Is white wood | trim and plenty of light furnishings. cut | glass and china, a dull finished paper I will look best.
 When the woodwork Is highly polished. "clOthy" papers are most desirable. ard | with dark woodwork. deep toned papers are essential. When the woodwork Is light. however. charming effects are ob- tGined by the use of contrasting coiOrs. such as red or green paper with white wood trim. !
 To accompany delicate woodwork and : furniture. such as birch. maple or white enamel. the paper should he of a de l. cate character. while with mahogany, q
