 Governor Trumbull will be the other speaker. and if the governor discus
 ses subjects of new interest. as has
 been his habit at former Mckinley dinners, the evening will take on an added interest, particularly because the legislature is in daily session.

ENGLISH DESIGN POPULAR
Foreign Type of Home Is Much in

There is a great vogue in America

hanging stories-these are the unmis-
taxable outlines of the English home
and hall.
For decoration there is often seen
the pargeting introduced by the Italian
craftsmen who came wandering
through England In the early six.
teenth century. Here and there plain
panels are beautified with a rough
cast pebble dash in varied hues, or
perhaps with a design in low relief.
Soft colors, Bluffs, tans and grays,
prevail in this English style. For
both the characteristic working and
the distinctive coloring of English de-
sign stucco has perfect adaptability.
The shades and tones obtainable in
American brands of stucco are the
soft hues which only mellowing time
brought to the English. And as for
the texture, broad, heavy-handed
troweling brings out in stucco the
English character.
