BALTIMORE, April 3.-Without

for an honest. hard-working young
man 10 buy a home After he takes
possession of the home he can start
paving for it according to his earn
ine capaCity-and in 10 or l. years it
is his own.
No other large city in the country
offers such an opportunity" explained
{. Philip Pitt, executive secretary of
the Baltimore Real Estate Board
1t is best for A young couple to
have $500 to put down as first pay
ment for then II does not take quite
such a long time to settle the bill in
the end But we advise those who
want their home and who have no
money saved to get their house and
then start paying for it by the week. :"
An average rent in this city is $40
a month. II Il man pays $40 week
on his own house for 10 years he then
comes into ownership of it-but if he
pays rent during this. time he has
nothing to show for it in the end
The $4,000 individual house is quite
within the means of the man whose
earning capacity is around $40 a

For the man who has a bigger
weekly pay envelope. it is just Is ad.

10 years he can own a $500 home

| monies equally we'll. but take care
to always choose a warm tan.
Before choosing wall paper in other
colors the light in the room must he
carefully considered. Keep in mind
that blues and greens are cold colors
and will absorb the light, while yel-
lows, tans and the lighter tones of
red are warm Colors and Will reflect
the light For this reason never put
blue or a green paper on the wall
of room which has north light, as
a north light is extremely cold ana
hard On the other hand, bright yel
lows or the lighter reds should be
avoided in all rooms which have
southern exposure, as the south iGht
is very warm and bright, and the re-
fiected light Is apt to he too intense.
Here the cooler colors. such as blues
and green's, are more suitable. Blues
may also be used in any room with
an eastern or western exposure.
Study carefully rooms with a poor
light, or dark rooms where the win
dows are overshadow by the roof
of the porch OF an adjoining house.
In such rooms the brighter Colors
should he used in order to make the
most of what little light there is. For
these select light toned papers.
AS d RUE bedrooms ShOuld be treat
ed in light Colors, such as cream
white striped papers and floral de
signs with white backgrounds. A bed
room should be bright. 1t is more
desirable that II room should be too
bright than too dull. as bright light
can always be subdued by drawing
the shades, but if the color of the
wall paper has destroyed the light in
room there is only one remedy, and
that is 10 change the wall paper.
A pin-dot design will suit a small
bedroom, nursery or little hallway,
but large Chinese design with birds
and flowers will not be effective In

How to Choose New Wall Paper.

Ever since wall paper was first In
vented to take the place OF handsome
wall coverings, such as brocades,
damasks leather. tapestries and
paintings, we have had at our COM
mand an inexpensive material ca
pable of an infinite number of appli-
cations and effects.
Excellent copies Of old papers are
now being made. An ugly wall paper,
or one that does not fit harmoniously
into it's surroundings, has no longer
any excuse. There is a suitable type
for every room in the house.
Wall paper has been made in the
past to initiate stucco and tile, marble
and bronze, stuffs of every descrip.
ton, raperies, laces. paintings, stat
uary, frescoes, architectural carving,
and even graint d wood. Many papers
now made to represent tile and fir
ished with a heavy glaze are very
satisfactory to use in bathrooms and
kitchens because the surface can be
wiped off without damaging the dc
sign. These papers when carefully
applied to the walls take the place Of
tiles.
Plain and Figured Papers.
Plain papers may he used success
fully in any type of room, and in any
room in the house. Borders should
not be used with them, and they
should be accompanied by pale plain
ceilings, but no room need be plain
Just because the walls are. Design
and color may be displayed elser herr
in the room. Striped papers ere good
in principle. since they repeat and
emphasize the vertical dimension Of
the wall. For this reason they can
be relied uon to give height 10 low
room. The contrast between the
stripes should not he pronounced, and
in the case of large rooms alone may
broad stripes be used a quiet striped
