BY MARGARET NOVEL;.

Ten years ago 1t was unusual to
find interior walls of a new house
finished with attractive wall papers.
This year 1t would be just es un-
usual to find one without This
does not mean that painted walls
are not featured or In the fashion,
but 1t does mean that wall papers
have become so practical and 50
beautiful that several rooms at
least should be papered. The COM
bination of plain painted walls and
exquisitely designed papers pro-
duces a. room Of great richness and
dignity.
Wall papers lost ground consider
ably years ago because they were
not fast color, they faded badly and
had to be replaced, and they were
almost impossible to cleah satisfac-
torily. Kalsomine and paint were
used more and more and paint
manufacturers were on their toes
producing better colors and textures
to keep pace with the demand. Then,
wallpaper manufacturers made a
bid for fashion by getting the best
artists available for new design
and working out fast-color pro-
cesses and paper finishes that
would stand cleaning. Builders and
decorators responded Immediately.
Good Paper inexpensive.
1t is now possible to buy wallpaper
as low as 20 cents roll that is good
in design, color fast and washable
AS taste and fashion pointed to
color rather than the uninteresting
cream. all-over patterns, subtle and
delicate plain colors began to ap-
pear. From cream and tan and
grays we began to select yellows,
primrose shades, dusty pinks, chalk
blues and all the pastels. These
were excellent background colors
and it was very simple to turn out
an interesting room with the addi-
tion of deep toned rug and bright
figured draperies. Then small pat
terms were popular. in the manner
OF the hand-blocked designs of the
early days. Next stripes were the
fashion, and in the last two years
we have known no barriers-with
everything from huge Victorian cab
bage roses TO copies of old Chinese
papers from museums.
Prizes were offered by wallpaper
manufacturers to art schools all

But above all. don't miss them!

live, and their beauty literally col

mulberry and the white background
OF the draperies is printed over with
bleeding hearts in red violet. The
dressing table drapery and other up
holstery is Persian lilac and the

accent the color scheme.

The fires had been under control for hours but some of them still smouldered.
 Along the Main street of South ampton there was hardly building worth saving. What high explosives had not smashed the ensuing fires gutted
 Old Churches Gone
 There was no ruin in Southamp- ton as spectacular as the smashed cathedral Of Coventry but half a dozen or more big old churches were gone. Only battered walls stood.
 The grass in the parks was pock- marked with dirty gray burns when incendiary bombs fell. It looked as though the bombs fell as thick as hail in some spots.
 I saw a dead pigeon. apparently killed by bambs concussion, lying on the steps Of Southampton'S wai memorial.
 Those who were not leaving town were going about their business as well as they could. But thousands of residents were without jobs. Their offices have been wiped out.
 Since I got here today there had been two air raid warnings. People went calmly to their shelters and when the all clear sounded they went back to what they had been doing.
