One of the most amusing occur
rences in the field of home deco
rating of recent years has oeen the
production of wall paper without
elaborate pattern, paper that gives
the effect of textured walls. Amusing
because textured walls themselves
can be achieved easily and inexpen-
sively without resorting to imitation.
If you like that rough surfaced
look on your walls why not use
plastic paint for painting them and
make any pattern you want with a
stipple brush, rubber sponge, a
whiskbroom, hair comb, piece of
crumpled paper or what not? 1t is
beautiful, original and permanent.
You can even clean the walls with
a damp cloth if the paint you use
is kind We have in mind, with a

vantage of economy, costing about

II you were to 60 into the kitchens
Of the country and ask the cooks
what kind Of fuel they liked for cook
ing you would probably be surprised
to find a tremendous number of
them enthusiastically favoring coal.
After recovering from your astonish-
ment you would probably suggest
that other fuels were certainly much
more convenient and easier to con-
troll, but your cooks would still say
coal, only more vehemently.
If you aren't aware of the reasons
for this state of mind we might
mention here that old-time cooks
like coal because it gives OIL steady
heat, which is good for baking and
kindred arts, and is also highly
economical.
To combine the beauties Of the
glowing coal fire with the ease of
operation of modern range, new
coal stove has been put out recently
which is equipped with a completely
automatic stoker. The stove itself
looks like the handsome shiny white
ranges seen everywhere these days,
and conceals heating mechanism

There seems to be growing
tendency these days toward the
use OF some kind Of a sealing finish
to close the pores Of wood, linoleum
and other floor surfaces, thereby
giving them longer life with less
maintenance cost. These finishes
are a combination of oils, which
replace the lost moisture in kiln
dried woods and synthetic resins
which give them great durability.
We saw one Of these finishes the
other day which was non-slip and
looked as though it would do a
fine job Of resisting stains as well
as ordinary wear. The makers
claim 1t is waterproof because of
the sealing action of the materials
used and also that it is easy to
clean and maintain. The covering
capacity Of this sealer- finish is also
said to be high and if you want to
obtain a high gloss finish it is a
simple matter to put wax or varnish
over it.

should be used. Instructions for
thinning the paint for a prime coat
are usually given on the label of
the paint can. Aluminium paint
makes an excellent base for succeed
ing coats of paint. 1t is widely used
as a primer for wood surfaces. Use
only the best paint. Cheap paint is
a waste of time, money and labor.
