In damp locations. as near the
seashore. the need is greater, for,
unless the plastered wall is
thoroughly dry. there is a danger
of what is called hot spots" APP
pearing, and reacting chemically
to cause unsightly rings or stains
on the paper.
To avoid this, all fresh
plastered walls Tor old ones in
poor condition. should. before siz-
ing. be brushed with a solution
made from two pounds zinc
sulphate to one gallon Of water.
Also. all cracks must be skillfully
filled and smoothed A regular
coat Of sizing, such as required
for both painting and papering.
then follows.
A question frequently asked Is
whether all the old previous
papering rnust- be seraPed- eff
completely before new job Is
tackled. On the contrary. If the
former paper is in good condi-
ton. as many as four or six
coats of paper may be left on the
walls as base for the new ap-
plicstion. For in some jobs,
where a specially smooth effect
is desired. it is common to first
hang what is called lining
paper" all over the wall before
hanging the final pattern paper.
OF course, if old layers have
buckled. cracked or dubbed. 1T
will be necessary 10 scrape clean
down TO the plaster, just as it
would on a paint job for good re-
suits Papering over composition
insulating board walls is not adj
vised. unless special precautions
are taken. as these boards ex-
pand and contract more than
plaster.
Another question is as to the
time involved in papering job,
and it's relative cost. or If paint
is not the simpler form of wall
covering. II all depends on the
room, where your house is To-
Gated, and other factors.
An old soiled painted wall may
require, first. good sponging-
down TO remove CRIME. and then
two coats of paint to secure clear
color and fine texture. The time
will depend. first, on the kind of
paper obviously, paper with a
diagonal or tricky" pattern or
border which needs careful
matching will require slower
handling than a simple flower
panel paper.

are right for his work.
The bedroom of size mentioned
would require about II rolls, and
in a 50-cent roll-paper such
room would run to $500 for ma
terial and $500 for labor Often
large stores offer. on a Spring
special. to furnish and paper this
size room for around $1,000.
Wallpapers. 1871 style, have
the added advantage that good
quality papers are also washable,
thus prolonging their life. But
this washing, as with all fine IA
brics, must be done with care,
preferably by an expert using a
large sponge and suds Of white
neutral soap applied in cool water
-wiping off with clear cool
water, after the best technique
in cleansing fine painted wood
work.
Wallpapers, too. are not con-
fined entirely to wall-treatment:
they may be used to cover such
serviceable articles as three
fold screen. decorative and cut
ting off draughts; to line
clothes closet. or to trim panels
of a door; wastebaskets. hat
boxes. and all such trifles of
Milady's room are also enhanced
by being so decorated.

By Mrs. Christine
Frederick,
The Distinguished Authority
on Household Efficiency.

Even in its use as a wall
covering, the skilled decorator
can show the home-maker many
tricks of her trade. For instance,
one of today's newest patterns
shows a Venetian blind effect, so
realistic that il seems to sway
with every breeze! A clever ar
rangement. perhaps in the dining
room, would be to use plain toned
paper on three walls, and to
hang the Venetian-blind paper on
a fourth (plain) wall, where it
would simulate these refreshing
shutters.
Many of the newest papers.
designed to harmonic with the
popular moderniZed Regency pc
Rod in furnishings, are shown
with wide borders Stimulating cur
tain drapes. loops. valences and
tassels. BY using such a cut
border around the cornice of the
window, no real textile drapery
would he required again narrow
ribbon borders can be bought
separately. and used horizontally
as heading for any usual flower
panel. as in a bedroom or a
stripe or border paper may be
used close to each window, as a
floral frame, very cheerful in a
Summer dining or living-room.

TURKEY.

The Ladies Aid of our church,
has hit upon scheme which en-
ables us to serve even portions
of turkey. to teach person at a
banquet.
Turkeys are roasted the day
before and thoroughly cooled.
They are then carved to better
advantage. Portions are weighed
"a pound wrapped in eight-inch
squares of cheesecloth. pinned
with polished toothpicks. and
packed in electric roasters.
waterless cookers, or ordinary
roasters. and heated for service.
Allow two hours at $50 degrees
tadd broth to portions)
This enables us to determine
we'll in advance, whether a suf-
ficient quantity has been pre-
pared. This idea speeds up our
service to such an extent that
we were able to serve 325 plates
in 10 minutes.

" its official appearance.
w thousands of housewives
throughout the country are plan
ming TO make their homes reflect
The awakening spirit of the new
season.
And so. though the violets and
daffodils in some places are still
buried underneath the snow. it
is cheering and profitable to visit
a display of wallpapers and find
in the exhibits the gay. bright,
fresh colors which will make any
room blossom with renewed
charm.
Wallpaper is that decorative
treatment of the wall of the room
which may be used to do magical
things stripes in its pattern will
make the ceiling appear higher;
or yellow, warm tone with
small figures or dots will create
feeling of sunny spaciousness a
panel of climbing flowers will
bring the outside garden into the
room itself the use of a hori-
zontal cornice or a border will
cut down height and make
room seem more coZy.
Besides all these tricks in eff
fects. wallpaper fulfils the all
important function of back
ground, not only to furniture,
but to show-off or contrast our
draperies, floor-coverings. pic
lures and objects of art.
AS generally practised. a
woman looks at books or samples
of wallpaper patterns. and de-
cides first on one color for the
hall. another for the parlor or
living-room. and still a third,
different in both color and de-
sign, for the dining FIX
cellent as each choice may be
in and of itself, what effect is
given when all the connecting
doors are opened. and one looks
from a green hall into a russell
parlor, and beyond into a deep
blue dining-room? In a small
house, particularly. the result is
not always too happy
Therefore, many of us will be
glad to learn. this Spring. Of
quite a new. but sensible idea in
wallpaper selection: il is called
ensembled papers. and means
that at one and the same time
the buyer may select three
papers, all styled by the best
decorator talent. which har-
monte and blend one with the
other. Thus. one may purchase
groups of papers which will pro-
duce smart. restful and really
charming effects.
However. before selecting any
papers, the owner or renter
should be acquainted with GER
tain technical details which make
for lasting and satisfactory re-
suits. For instance. If the house
is newly built. freshly-wet as it
were, out Of the contractors and
workmen's hands, it is all-impor-
tant that the condition of the
plastered wall be noted.

dried out and this tendency neu-
tralized by exposure to the air.

firm Of Libby, Mcneil Libby. They
housed their tiny organization in a section
of one small building in Chicago and first

demanded more of Libby's foods.

Native Sons In Church's Diamond Jubilee Observance
Tribute Paid To Founders W St. Patrick s Pdrish
Rev. Dr. cryne, Pastor, Voices Gratitude of Par. ishOners to God, to Bishop McAuliffe, to Of-
 ficiating Clergy Lauds Loyalty of Flock

Tribute to the men and women who aided in the founding of St, Patrick's church was voiced by Rev. pr. Eugene P. Cryne, pastor, in a brief sermon at the Diamond Jubi- lee exercises yesterday. He well comed the distinguished churchmen and laymen who were present at the rededication and Mass of Thanks giving.
 Said pr. Cryne:
 It is with hearts that are filled with joy and with gratitude that we are met here this morning, to participate in the ceremonies of rededication of this beautiful church to the service of Almighty God.
 We rejoice in the accomplish ments of sixty years during which this majestic masterpiece of arch itectural beauty has given mute testimony of love of God and His holy religion, of zeal and of generosity and loyalty which be- gan early in 1880 and endures to this very day.
 Our hearts are filled with grati- tude. Gratitude, first of all to Almighty God for permitting us to realize this eventful occasion and to have part in Its observ- ance. We are indeed grateful to God in Whose name this work was begun sixty years ago, and in Whose name it has been carried on, for Whom and in Whom and with Whom all efforts were cen- tered and towards Whom they were directed and in Whom was all hope and trust and the source of all strength, For unless the Lord build the house, they labor in vain who build it."
 We are grateful also to our Most Rev. Bishop, His EXcellency, Bishop McAuliffe, who gave per- mission for this recent embelltsh- ment, encouraged us by his ad- vice and counsel and today adds dignity to this occasion by his gracious presence.
 We are grateful to Ills Excel lency, Bishop Brady, who so kindly returns today, as a Bishop of the Church, to the sanctuary where he served as an altar-boy, to preach the sermon.
 To Father Griffin and his as- sistants, who come to offer the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, we are deeply indebted, as we are also to the Right Reverend Mon- signori, the Very Rev. and Rev. Fathers who are present today to take part in these exercises.
 It is a pleasure to welcome within these sacred walls the daughters of the parish who have entered the religious life, and their companions, all Of whom have heard the voice of the Mas ter and like Mary in the Gospel, have chosen the better part.
 It is a pleasure to have with us, His Honor, Mayor Scully, and the members of his official family. To our friends from other par- ishes, and those former members of the parish, within and without the city, we are glad to gay a word of welcome. And finally to our own parishioners, they who have borne, through all these

ture generations. There are some", says the inspired writer, "of whom there is no memorial; who are per- ished as if they had never been born-But there are others, men of mercy, whose godly deeds have not failed and their children remain forever" Feel. ILIV, 9-l3.
 The greatest glory of this temple is not the massive and beautiful structure that proudly towers over the surrounding valley but in the eternal and spiritual fruits of the sublime mission of Christ that Il represents. Most of Us here present are numbered in the vast through that was brought here to the bap- tismal font to become children of the Kingdom; the throng that drag ged reluctant feet to know the con- Solation of the confessional; the throng that knelt at the altar to receive the Bread of Life; that marched to the altar for the strength of Confirmation. Some have knelt here to pledge mutual VOWS in Inatrimony; some, all too many of the sainted pioneers, were brought here for the last prayers of Holy Church; some, in early youth, served at the altar; some, in the Provi- dence of God, ascended this altar to perform the greatest act possible to man, the consecration of bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Christ. Today, Saint Patrick's, pro- life mother of priests, religious, and staunch sons O. Holy Church, calls her children home to rejoice with her. From near and far we come gladly, sons that have not shamed her, fair and valiant daugh. ters of whom she is justly proud, to behold her once more aureoled around with bright memories of deep religious devotion. Her able pastor. distinguished in a varied field of civil and charitable endea- vor, conscious of the tradition of his parish, has renewed and reimbel- iished the church for this occasion simply and without ostentatious dis play. Our nourishing mother has mol been changed but beautifully re- newed and for this her children past and present are grateful. We kneel here once more together in the presence of the ever gracious bishor of the diocese and as the Aoodgate' of memory open and surround us we are content and at peace, fai from the destruction and horror ol war; the voice Of the past finds new and living tongue in our hearts ant we willingly and sincerely para phrase the words of the Lord Got to Solomon In a solemn pledge, "Wt shall walk in thy statutes and ex' ecute thy Judgments and keep thy commandments, walking in them that thou mayest dwell in the naids of thy children and that thou will not forsake thy people,
