quite new departure is the use or
heavy patterned stencils on the lower
third of the side wall, especially in
halls where furniture is limited TO n
few chairs and nall tree. The effect
is excellent and is decided relief

this Is the very thing to be avoided;
they must end In uniform but varying
heights, tall and short designs alter

Geometrical designs prevail, and the
colors used should be warm and rich.

wall should be plain and Of warm
color These patterns are excellent,
because they adjust themselves to
stairs and risers better than any other
form Of hall treatment. The dark
stencil colors serve 10 cover the effect
OF soil coming from contact OF occa-
sonal hands or clothing touching the
wall surface.
Warm, rich, sunny tan makes an
excellent hail color for the side wall
and cream for the ceiling; then work
the stencil pattern out with dull blue
and touch OF dull red or orange red
and you have a peculiarly good COM
