Large Patterns in Wall Paper Make Small
Rooms Appear Smaller Than the Actual Size

Wall papers showing small patients, IL
any, must be selected for rooms which are
not large, because big designs on walls
dwarf the size Of the room and make it ap-
pear even less larger than 1t is. Plain
walls always tend to increase an effect Of
space, and for that reason flat papers are
valuable. So greatly have these latter in
creased in favor in the past few seasons
that Cartridge" is no longer the only
style, for there are Deep crepery papers
and others with stripes so fine and broken
that at a distance Of five feet the designs
are not visible. and only by close observa-
ton does a person distinguish the back
ground, for the little stripes are usually
IN self tones and are less than a sixteenth
Of an inch wide.
It is a paper on this order which a pro-
fessonal decorator has just put on the tiny
reception room walls in an apartment
microscopic in size. There is no border, for
she did not wish TO reduce the height of the
ceiling, so the breadths go unbroken to the
top. The ground is tan, so pale as to be
hardly more than cream, while the stripes
are a tone deeper.
Leading from this room is another a little
smaller, to be used as a chamber. Its walls
are covered with paper showing a tiny
chintz patterns in dull reds on a tan
ground. The designs form octagonals. the
name being not wider than a quarter of
an inch. In each octagonal is a swan. the
bird done In outline, and is not moro than
two inches In width.
Hangings for the windows are natural
linen, with borders Of cretonne five inches
wide. These match the wall paper in de-
sign. The bed cover is also linen, with
bands OF cretonne.

stThree Weeks" at the Krug.
Three Weeks is TO be seen at the
Krug this weekend. 1t is a dramatzation
by Elinor Giyn OF her book of the same
name. and is arranged in a prologue and
three acts. The prologue occurs in the
boudoir Of the queen In the palace at
sardalia, and attempts, by showing the
brutal nature OF the king, TO justify the
doubtful course about to be pursued by
the queen. In the three acts which fol-
low, comes the play proper, the story OF
the driven woman's search for an heir.
To say that the play is strongly emo
tional is putting It mildly. The antics Of
a French walter constitute the only thing
comic 70 relieve the tensity Of action
BY far the larger part Of the acting falls
upon the capable and beautiful shoulders
OF Miss Jeanne fowler, who is cast in the
role Of The Lady" The play affords OPP
portunity for some beautiful stage set
tings, in particular OF the loggia OF the
palace at Venice.

Notes from the Stage world.
After an absence Of ten years from the
field OF musical comedy, Miss Maria Davis,
best known to American playgoers for her
character work In comedy drama, will re-
turn to her earliest love, taking a promi-
nent part in Marriage a la Carte" the
joint product OF c. NJ. s. Mcclellan and
Ivan Caryll. Miss Davis holds an unusual
stage distinction I'm that she has had no
more than four managers IN the twenty
eight years which make up her profess
sional career. Four years with Tom Rob
ertson, seven years with George Edwardes
seven years with Sir Charles Wyndham
and ten years with David Belasco represent
her activities. 'Tn Town." the pioneer Of
all musical comedies, was one Of the pieces
in which Miss Davis made herself popular
with London audiences. She was also In
THE Shop Girl" MY Girl" 1.-THE Circus
Girl" and a lot of other musical comedies
Of the girl sort. Miss Davis came to the
United States to play single season. She
Joined the company Of Mrs. Leslie Carter
and then helped David Warfield in THE
Auctioneer." Instead of staying a single
season, she has stayed ten years, support
ing Warfield In successes following THE
Auctioneer," and appearing with the other
Belasco stars from time to time.
THE last time I saw George Edwardes,"
said Miss Davis yesterday. II asked him,
rather jokingly, why he didn't offer me a
part. He answered; Because I haven't
any part that would suit you--they don't
write parts OF that sort any more"
This, Miss Davis took as q compliment
She waited until someone did write a part
such as she had made famous in the days
OF her London triumphs. This part, Mrs
POnsonby de Coutts Wragge. is that OF a
woman who might well have been named
Maggie. She drove two husbands to the
woods, as the hbrettist expresses It was
when they got out Of the woods It was
only to be confronted by the cause of their
retreat.
