Mr.. and Mrs. Ward Brownie

a lot OF remodeling for Alexan-
dria's old homes-have a fascin-
ating place on display. When
the Browns we're doing the
home over they found lovely
frescoes in tent design under
meath the white-wash and wall
paper. The walls are somewhat
reminiscent of the Sale du Con-
Sell n Nal. Maison, the home
of Empress Josephine just out
side Of Paris. There seemed to
be no rhyme or reason for this
lovely work as the house is quite
small and otherwise unostenta-
tious. Just one of the curious
things encountered in Alex
andria.
Mrs. Roosevelt, whose inter
est in historic places is well
known, heads the list Of patron
esses for the Alexandria Asso-
citation Tour. Lady Lindsay,
wife of the British Ambassador,
has also signified her interest IN
the exhibition. Lady Lindsay mas
gained distinction for her
prowess as a gardener-the
gardens in the rear of the en-
bassy are an excellent example.
She has rare taste and has de-
signed many gardens for her

Stenciling Gains in Fauor
For Decoration of Walls

Gaining In popular favor Is the stem
Gil treatment for all-over wall decora-
ton. For spot and border work, of
course, its popularity has never waned.
The use Of stencils offers 4 simple
cf applying individual touches
to the decoration of home which
give it definite personality. There are
pert and sprightly designs for kitchens,
quaint or exotic ones for bathrooms,
bedrooms, kitchens, living, dining and
recreation rooms-to> say nothing Of
the cute, and original ones that can
add much charm to modern nurseries.
OF course, the background for this
type of decoration Is important. No
painting or decorating Job can be any
better than its foundation. Which is
merely another way of saying that the
first coats contribute just as much to
the beauty and durability Of the job
as does the final decorative treatment.
Hold Stencil Firmly.
Paint used for stenciling should be
trifle thicker than that for general
application. And it should not be ap-
piled with q full brush. Dip the brush
into the coAor and then knock lightly
against the wall with the left hand
and apply the paint-not with the
usual brush stroke, but with q slightly
rotating motion. When the section of
the wall covered by the stencil is COM
pleted, lift the stencil carefully away
and clean the back Of the stencil thor
oughly before replacing it on the wall
Stencil patterns may be obtained
from stores carrying paint or artists
supplies. incidentally, there's a new
type Of stencil on the market which is
composed Of several sheets of tough
paper bonded together. When the sur

face becomes gummed up with paint,
the outer sheet may be removed easily,
leaving the next sheet clean and ready
for use. -Four or five times as much
wear may be obtained from these
stencils as from the ordinary kind.
Placement Simple.
Spot stenciling" Is the term cover
ing single designs applied at regular
intervals over plain surfaces in a man
ner that suggests fabric designs. The
method of marking off the wall so
that the figures may be placed evenly
Is simple. Chalked cords are snapped
across the wall at carefully measured
intervals to form squares. The design
Is then applied in the center Of each.
The spacing. of course, depends on the
type Of design being used and the size
OF the room. The aim is to reach a
happy medium between overcrowding
and sparseness.
Floors are not overlooked in the
stencil program. Painted floors, par
tlcularly, can be made distinctive with
effective borders or center designs. The
stencllins is usually applied in a lighter
color than the ground coat.
