that all will be in harmony

of our grandmothers are again

the reproduction of the
beautiful old wall papers that
adorned the walls of the
famous Colonial residences
built early in the last century.
The greatest change in our
papers this Beason will be

combinations are taken froni

of delicate shadings, so soft
and pleasing to the eye.
