Available Space Was Not
Being Used.

Madison.-That the university in the
last ten years erected nineteen new
buildings and three large additions to
old buildings, representing an outlay
of $2,018,50S.12, is a statement in the
report of the old board of public affairs
which conducted a survey of the uni

invested in buildings is large, and the

the fullest use consistent with educa-

buildings are constructed" is a con-

Bright Colors
In Wallpaper
Two or More Papers Now
Frequently Used in
Combination.

The present demand for color in the
home has brought about a greater
change in wall coverings and hang
ings than in any other feature OF the
house. Instead of the plain white or
colored walls hung with pictures TO
which we have so long been accus-
toned the room itself is now regard
ed as q picture. The walls and the
floor are the canvas. the furniture the
background, while the figures IN the
picture are supplied by the persons
occupying the room, says Ne" j orh
sun writer.
Though plain tinted papers are
widely used, they are employed now
in connection with decorative borders,
friezes and medallions that give the
interior of the house quite different
appearance. Besides using borders OF
two widths. there is a tendency 20
combine two patterns of the same
kind of paper and sometimes even
two papers quite different in texture
and pattern although blending N
color.
A successful use of two papers diff
fering in texture and pattern was
seen in the newly decorated dining
room Of "A home Of the New England
colonial type The walls in this room
had been hung with a purplish red
burlap against which were a multitude
of pictures. paintings. prints, engrav-
ings. etchings and a few photographs.
They were all good pictures and, con-
sidering the color of the background,
fairly we'll hung As redeceFated, the
frieze is a glowing shade of corn color
over which, against the ceiling, there
is a deep border of ripe fruit. The
body of the wall is covered by a leath-
er finished paper in rich design OF
browns, gold, green's and reds.
In the same house a charming guest
room has walls of a delicate shade OF
gray with panels of satin paper OF
the same shade and marked by a rose
border. The upper border, next the
ceiling. is much wider than that out
lining the panels, though the pattern
and cOlOrs are the same. The hang
ings are in pale gray with borders to
match the paper. In another room
the dominant color is rose chintZ,
matching the flower border, which ex-
tends to the foot of the paper and
around the easements.
In yet another home of a more mod
ern type of architecture the room pre-
pared for the daughter had consider
able dignity and individuality in spite
of the fact that it was a white room.
The walls were of white glazed paper,
with panels of an unglazed paper of
a delicate green, bordered with bands
of roses over this against the cell
ing was a wider border of the same
pattern, while the center of the cell
ing, the palest shade of green in the
unglaZed paper. was marked off by the
narrower border. The narrow border
was repeated on the pOrtieres. The
furniture of this room was painted
white with lines of green and a small
bunch of roses on the head of the bed
the drawers of the dressing table and
the bureau and on the backs of the
chairs.
