PROPER FOR WALLS
USE CARE IN SELECTION OF THE
PAPER.
Size of Rooms to Be Decorated is One
Of the Most Important of Consid-
erations - Background for
Pictures.

Great care should be taken in
choosing wall paper. A Iarge room
needs a larger design than a small one,
and the latter may frequently be made
to look large simply by the choice of
paper. Color. too, is important. 1t is
hardly wise to purchase paper in the
shop; but samples should be placed on
the walls in the room where they are
to be used, with every effect of light.
Green. dark red, and rich brown are
safe cOlors to choose. The library de-
mands something quiet and restful,
and the same is true of a sitting
room or a bedroom in constant use. II
the room to be papered has many pic
lures, the wall paper must be such as
to form a good background. Plain or
twO-tOned papers are excellent for
such rooms. For rooms like the nurs-
cry, one can buy specially designed pa
peTs, such as Dutch and Kate Green
way figures, NOah's ark, rOllicking
children, etc. For bedroom, trellis and
flower designs are charming.
American wall papers are. often
more realistic than those Of foreign
manufacture, and the best designs or
iginate in our art schools. Papers are
of two sorts, the machine and the
hand-printed. The former are stamped
with the design by direct printing on
the paper as it rolls out from the ma
chine. The hand-printed designs are
applied by blocks, hand-manipulated,
and some of the best designs are for
the first season printed in this way,
and a year or two later brought out
by the machine process. Flock pa
pers are those in which a velvety ef-
feet is produced by using powdered
wool or silk. If plaster walls have be-
come cracked, 1t is a good plan to
cover them with something stronger
than ordinary paper, and various kinds
of burlap can be chosen for this pur-
pose.
In the old-fashioned days. wall pa
per came in rolls 20 inches wide, in
stead of IS inches, as at present.
Borders were not made to match the
designs in the wall paper, so the Gus
toner selected the decoration he want
ed for his wall, and then took the
border that looked best with it. BOr-
ders with gilt background were In
general favor. English wall paper
came in rolls of 18 yards; then the
length OF & roll was reduced to sixteen,
until now some do not contain more
than 13 yards. 1t is said that an early
manufacturer of wall paper paid his
color mixer $50, 900 a year, and an as
sistant $4,000 When wall paper was
made by hand, the borders sold as
high as $3.50 a single roll, OF 81 dou-

Public Menaces to Morality.

Perhaps it is a waste of words to
moralize over social scandals, but each
new domestic upheaval in what is
called our best society (meaning our
wealthiest) exerts an evil influence so
far beyond its source that the impulse
to plead for a higher standard of
morals among the richest people is
hard to resist. Il must be admitted
that little good has resulted from the
most earnest remOnstrance in the past.
The young lions in society. in many
instances. continue to conduct them
selves as if they were unconscious Of
any public duty incumbent upon them.

CUSTOM men in
FATAL Fight

Ell PASO, Texas, March %
Mounted Customs Inspectors Charles
Logan and Charles Jones fought a
duel in the dry bed of the Rio Grande
river in this city last night, and both
were killed. Their bodies were found
this morning. 1t is supposed that
each mistook the other for a snug
gler.
At first it was believed that the
two officers had been killed by
smugglers, but this theory is dis
credited, as tracks around where the
bodies lay all fit the shoes of the dead
men. Three shots were heard by
people living in the neighborhood at
8 o'clock last night. The pistol OF
one of the officers held two empty
shells and that of the other one
empty shell.
Logan was a son of the late Major
T. H. Logan, United States army
and brother of the wife of Captain
Frank d. Wyckham, Twelfth infan-
try, U. s. A., stationed at Govern
or's island, New York. Jones was
a railroad man and lived at San An
tonic and Houston, Texas, before
entering the customs service.
