Everybody', 'mind turns to
house decorating this season
of the year and the great prob-
lem in how to hale it done,
that all will be in harmony
of color. The good old styles
of our grandmothers are again
popular—and it has led to
Che 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 season will be
noticed in the colorings. The
combinations are taken from
the works of modern mural
painting., like Turner, May-
nard, Walker and Alexander
so beautiful and pleasing.
Our papers ars away from
the hackneyed colors and
have a freshness and harmony
of delicate shadings, so soft
and pleasing to the eye.
