, NATIONAL ARCHIVES nuILp,Nc.

For more than thirty-three years the
question Of preserving the national
archives of the United States has been
aEitated inside and outside of Con-
gross The nearest step to the cree
ton of a suitable building for the
storing of the nations valuable docu-
ments was the authorization by Con
gross in 1903 of the purchase of n site.
since that time the government has
found other uses for the plot Of
ground in the capital and hardly
enough space is left TO permit of a
building adequate for the national
archives. Room must be had not only
for the present accumulation, but also
for that of the years to come. Amer
lean visitors to Vienna are often
struck with the imperial archives

der was in soft browns, cream and dull
red.
The cut-out friezes add greatly to
the charm of 4 room, particularly those
which have high ceilings. Many salts
factory borders produce the effect of
the cut-out designs, though not actually
cut.
There are borders to use in connec-
ton with the side walls, in plain or
shadow or blended effect, which are
developed from the motif of the wall
fabric, that convey a pleasant sense of
harmony. With these come narrow
binders in the same textures introduc-
ing just the right touch of color-a
dull blue, or green or mauve.
Among the handsomest papers now
being used by the decorators are those
called the Favrile Blends. These come
in the most grateful colorings and
have the effect Of being hand tinted.
Landscape friezes are many of them

Although never has there been so
great a variety in papers and in the
manner Of wall decoration, it is diff
cult to go far wrong in selection be
cause Of the real beauty of the designs
and colorings. 1t is seldom nowadays
that one sees a wall treatment that is
bad in itself, though too often its effect
is ruined by the draperies or pictures
or general arrangement Of the room.
If there seems to be a growing ten
dency toward more elaborate patterns
in papers IT is due to the increasing
simplicity Of our furniture and decora-
tons. We are coming to prefer the
beauties of architecture to furnishings
Of color and lines TO bric-a-brac.
Instead Of poor pictures in our draw
ing room or parlor we prefer good
papers of artistic worth. If the room
is to be kept somewhat formal, papers
in the medallion effects are good
French designs, in delightful floral
motifs are well adapted to mahogany
furnishings. Panel decoration is also
most attractive and borders are seen
frequently. Golden tan semi-grass
cloth was used for the wall-hIler, in a
