Novelties in Seasons Wall Paper

TO tell story and appeal to the imagination
of the child The dog is represented chasing
the cat from the bird it is about to swoop
down upon, or a hen is pictured saving her
little chicks from a rabbit. Sometimes the
story is told only once or is repeated so sell
dom as not to become mOnotonous.
There are all kinds of good borders in
poster effect, the goodnight border showing
a procession of small girls and boys in their
nlghtfes bearing their candles on the way to
bed; the pIaytime border, showing children
in various attitudes of play.
The factories and designers have man
aged these borders so that the same idea is
not reepated at the monotonously short in
terval that it used to be in all wall papers.
Frequently there is an Interval of eighteen
or twenty feet before the same figure is re-
peated and often in a whole room there is
not repeated az the monotonously short in
variety of good designs.
The hunting scene borders have had a
great vogue, especially for country clubs and
hunting lodges. There is a marine border
that is one of the best of the newer border
designs. showing sweep of the sea, the

One of the most attractive things in the
new designs that an exclusive dealer in wall
papers is showing is a notwithstanding en-
bossed Viking border in bronze and bronzes,

RADICAL and impractical, but it caught the
popular favor and now the style is in great
vogue and popularity. The original plan
has been varied and changed in different
ways and some beautiful effects have been
achieved.
The new thing this year is to cut out the
design, both top and bottom, which gives
more the effect of fresco. In the earlier
patterns the design was cut out only around
the bottom, SO that the appearance was
much more like wall paper than painting, as
the newer treatment suggests. One of the
best designs in this style of paper that is
shown is a paper in dull red with monotone
figures and a Navajo border representing an
Indian shawl, festooned at intervals and
caught with shields, spears and feathers.
At the bottom is also a small border intro
ducing the same colors as the top border.
This is one of the new ideas in papers, to
use a border at the bottom as well as at the
top, giving a better finish to the room.
Where there are flower borders at the top
the effect is that of few scattered flowers
having fallen from the garlands above.
There has Just been imported from

senting baskets and delicate festoons of flow
ers in an embossed papier mache effect that
is to be applied to any kind of solid wall.
The colors are very delicate and soft and
suggestive of French taste
An exquisite paper designed especially
for a boudoir is in pale blue satin strip and
has about the top a border of flying cupids
and garlands of pink rosebuds that has the
perfection Of painting. II is only this year
that machines have been devised that could
reproduce figures. Until now the machines
we're not steady enough to print the figure
perfectly and a strange looking effect was
obtained. but with the new process the figure
is reproduced with all the exactness of a
painting.
The kindergarten idea has entered
largely into the nursery paperings and the
most delightful ezeets have been produced.
Chickens and birds and dogs and all kinds
Of animals and figures are cut out and APP

following of the science. Not many of US
can attribute an interest in anything so
worth while as mathematics to the influence
Of our wall papering, but we can at least
trace nightmares and shudders to the awful
scrolls and monotonous figures that used to
climb over the walls of the rooms in which
we had our being as children. Some Of
those paperings we used to have to live with
day after day and stare at drearily through
spells of mumps and fever were WEAKNESS
and aniiction to the eye. Now we are be-
ginning to know better and to use more dis
eliminating taste In choosing our wall paper.
The child's nursery of today has papering
in soft, harmonious tones with borders of
Mother Goose pictures or fascinating friezes
that tell stories. We no longer choose our
wall papering from sample book of nifty
or a hundred bits Of garish, heavy patterns
that the paint dealer keeps on hand. There
has been a revolution in the wall paper bust
ness Men of artistic training and good
taste and judgment have gone into the trade
and they have introduced the best things
from abroad, reviving fashions OF decora-
ton centuries old, introducing softer tones,
fewer, better colors, monotones, and repro

painting from the palaces and great houses
OF Europe.
Every distributor now has at hand sam
pies Of wide stock he can order immedi-
ately from the large central distributing
houses. We have borrowed the best things
that other countries had TO offer in the way
OF ideas and have originated some of our
own that compare creditably with those inn
ported from Europe.
Aoout two years ago a young dealer with
ideas of his own evolved the plan OF cutting
out borders from lowered or figured paper
