An Attractive Bedroom.

TN these days of moderately low cell
1 ings the deep borders seen on some
of the wall papers are not only wasted,
but ruined And what is more they
spoil the effect of space which is an
asset to every room. For the border that
is eighteen or twenty inches deep is cut
into by every door and window frame
and IS chopped up and cut that il
loses not only its own beauty, but calls
attention to the lowness of the ceilings.
For this reason the narrow border looh.,
far better i'll most moaeln bedrooms than
does the wide one. The line OF the
border is unbroken and the very narrow
ness of ii adds TO the apparent height OF
the ceiling.
y bedroom which possessed every ele-
ment ot comfort and beauty was decor
ated in this way: The wall was covered
from top TO bottom witt a plain paper.

bolder. about four inches wide, was a
band of roses. The curtains were of

and the result is very good.
