Money and expense are not essential to
artistic homes and attractive rooms. One
dollar and fifty cents worth of material
will completely transform a crude, mar
ti-tic room into a graceful dainty apart

Really it is good taste and skill that
makes the home homelike. That dainty
touch is worth twice as much as money.
Wall paper Is eNpensive-it IT costs money
to buy 1t, to hang it and again to re
move It. With the use of the alabastined
wall there is only the slight cost of the
material any one can brush 1t on and Il
is not necessary to wash II off the wall
when a fresh coat is required.
1t is very easy TO mix, very simple to
apply, but the results are simply beauti-

a little more than the cost of single

And this is true, that now that we have
so much better materials for use in the
decoration of our homes, that wall paper,
common kalsomine and paint are now as
much out of date as the old time white
