A young woman who thinks she can
not repaper her room this season be-
cause she cannot afford it should make
sure that cost is prohibitive before re-
signing herself to dirt.
One girl has just papered bedroom
charmingly at a total cost of less than
SO. Reading of bargains in wall paper
one day, she noticed some that We're
reduced to cent or two a roll.
Her family insisted the results would
be dreadful, but the selection was
made of a nice quality of figured
cream ceiling paper at cent roll for
the walls and a narrow rose border at
2 cents yard.
The border was cut out by the girl
herself and run at top of room and
down the sides of each corner.
The paper was put on by country
paperhanger friend of the cook, at
much less than the usual rates. 1t
would have been possible to have done
the papering oneself, but the work is
not likely to give satisfaction, though
many women are fairly skilled paper.
hangers.
Most stores have bargains in paper
though few as cheap as the one de
scribed. By taking advantage of them
a room can be freshened for a surprls
ingly small sum Of money.
