NAILS IN THE WALLS.
Blemishes That the Careful House.
keeper Will Avoid.

1t is a great pity to see how care
less many people are about driving
nails into the walls with utter disre-
gard to the paper. 1t may be all very
we'll if the picture is always to remain
where it is placed, but if it is moved
an unsightly blemish is left on the
wall. Most houses have picture rails
nowadays, especially on the first floor,
and this removes any necessity for
large pictures to be hung from nails.
For small pictures it is possible to
suspend a small rod with brass-tipped
ends from the picture molding, and
to this rod attach the pictures by
gilt wires.
At the back of pictures hung
against delicate wallpaper it is wise
to paste morrow slices from bottle
corks against the two lower corners
of the frame. These prevent the pic
lures from rubbing against the wall,
and the cork knobs do not make
marks
