siderably more, but the colors are guar
anteed mot to fade.
A similar paper costing $3.50 a roll and
guaranteed fast colors is of an exquisite
shade of lilac striped at three inch inter-
walls with a vine of small silver white
leaves. The frieze shows garlands Of the
same leaves in Louis XIV effect.
Among the favortes In the striped de-
signs and which may be had in several
shades of rose. of blue, yellow or green is
a pattern showing one inch wide plain
stripes set three inches apart on a back
ground the same color dotted with small
circular dots all of a size or with indis-
tinct rounds of varying size. the largest
less than half an inch in diameter and
scattered irregularly. In other patterns
tiny leaves are used. sometimes white,
sometimes of a paler shade than the
foundation, Any of these latter may be
had in the domestic as well as in the inn
ported makes for 40 or so cents a roll,
beautiful crown frieze in floral effects be-
ing furnished with every color.
Artistic Bedroom Papers.
Almost as artistic are bedroom papers
which sell as low as 20 and 30 cents a roll
and come under the head of dimities.
These are In blended soft toned grays,
browns and soft greens as we'll as in the
brighter colors, and when topped with a
crown floral frieze they are remarkably
effective. The hair lines In the paper give
the effect of invisible plaids and stripes
all of a color. One variety in gray and
another in ecru gives two tones OF color so
as to bring out an almost invisible stripe
two inches wide. The frieze to match is
frightened with large pink pond lilies
dropping In punches here and there.
Strange to say the narrow straight flower
borders used SO much by our grandmothers
are back again, but whether they will be
popular remains to be seen. Some are only
three inches wide, the widest being about
six inches. and they are shown in con-
junction with pale self-toned papers both
striped and perfectly plain.
In direct contrast are friezes which cover
two-thirds OF the wall. One Of these is
supposed to represent a soft light falling
through upper windows. For a naturally
dark room nothing could be better, and in
any case the result is surprisingly pleasing
and artistic. A variety of this, for ex.
ample, shows a lower wall paper OF dull
green patterned with small oblongs OF
brighter greens placed nearly half a yard
apart. This paper in places runs up to
within two feet OF the ceiling. in other
places it drops to about three and one-halt
feet from the ceiling. Covering all the
top space is a pale yellow shaded paper
patterned in large checks about the size OF
the panes Of glass used In easement win
dows. The effect Is very like an upper
easement window.
of the same order is a magenta red and
gray striped paper, the magenta strips
graduating from one inch to a quarter
inch in width, topped with a frieze four
feet wide in some places and enc and a
half feet in others. representing a tangled
mass Of green vines and nothing else.
Either of these designs IS appropriate for
a living room.
Many Watered Designs.
Wstered papers are Included in the new
est designs for living rooms and some Of
them are quite unlike anything seen before.
One Of the best, a soft wood brown in
color, is touched up with beige cobra
cross between gray and ecru-in a fashion
to give a raised effect 10 the watered de-
sign, which Is offset at nihe-inch intervals
with a one-inch wide lengthwise stripe of
shaded beige color. The frieze for this is
a conventional design which introduces
bright bits OF color. Equally stylish is dull,
rough finished self-toned paper covered
