Exeter Advocate, 1912-3-21, Page 7HOME PAPER HANGING -
First, in selecting the Paper, se-
lect a pattern that will match easily
and that ean be eut without mueh
waste. /Tilde aule may be la,yed
down that, large figures should be
avoided in small rooms, A dark
=room or one on the north side of A
house, naay be brightened by using
a warmer tone of paper than, in a
room witla 4 suana exposure. A
seft shade of yellow or deep cream
is desirable to see day after day,
and has the advanta,ge, of harinon-
iziag well with nearly all eolore of
carpets, curtains, ete. Pale sage
green or eold blue may be used with
good effect ia a room where the
bright sunlight streams the greater
part of the day. Striped paper in-
creases the apparent height of the
room, Never choose a pattern with
wave -line lines, or ene with a de-
cided Agure, for 4 hedroorn, In
ease of sickness the invalid will ah
MOst involuntarily mint the spots
or follow the wriggling lines on the
paper, ,A soft iiwrain paper of one
color is restful tft; the eye.
If their are more than two layers
of paper on the walls they should
be removed. Pull off as pinch of
the old paper as you ean get off,
then saturate, what still sticks to
the wall, with warm water; let it
stand a half-hour then saturate it
again, and the paper van be easily
scraped eff with a knife blade. Re-
move all nails and fin the holes with
utty or ei4e 4 paste made of Plas-
-Paris and eold water. White-
-washed walls should. be washed with
water and strong vinegar. Use one
quart a Strong- aeld vinegar to two
of water, apply the solution well
around the easeino; baseboards
and eorners.
ol-s the paste is used cold,
it would be beet to ake it the day
before, Ming. To every quart (If well
eifted lieu; add a teaspoon of pow-
dered alum, mix smooth with (aid
ter, And pour in boiling water,
"rig rapidly, till the paste is of
theeonsisteacy of thick eteam, Re-
anove it from the stove as soon as it
eoraes to a boiling point; strain it
through a lionr dew. or colander.
If the paste is lumpy, the air will
not all pass out from under the
paper and as the paper is drying it
will erack wherever there is an air
bubble, Pour in a little cold water
on top of the pate to prevent a
tenni from forming.
Do not undertake to paper a
room without a helper, If you have
lib assistant change off work with a
neighbor. A Smooth beard, the ex-
act length and width of the paper
will facilitate the work of spreading
the paste. If you have nothing bet-
ter, an extension table will do nice-
ly, Begin with the ceiling. Mea-
sure it the shortest way of the room,
ascertain how many strips will be
required and cut and match them
before spreading the paste. Out
the strips fully two inches longer
than the measurement of the ceil-
ing. This extra amount is to allow
the paper to lap down an inch upon
the walls at both sides, which is
necessary to insure a neat finish
when the border is put on.
Neav draw a guiding line across
-the telling with a lead pencil as
wide as the paper. Use a clean
whitewash brush to spread the
paste. If the paste is too thick to
spread well, thin it out with cold
water. Spread it evenly, being
careful not to leave aaly dry spots of
paper. Turn up two of three feet
of the paper to make it easier to
handle, with the pasted sides to-
gether, with your helper's aid, lift
the paper to the ceilieg, and when
you have it matched press the edges
of the paper on the wall, then let
the helper turn back the folded end,
and when it is all nicely matched,
brush the rest of the paper to place
with a, clean -whisk broom. If
wrinkles appear, gently pull- the
paper loose, remove the wrinkles,
and Press the paper in place again.
Air bubbles should be pricked with
a pin to allow all the air to escape.
If the seams of the paper are lapped
from the light they will be less no-
ticeable.
• To hang the paper on the side
• walls, follow the instructions as
given for the ceiling. Cut the strips
leng enough to extend down on the
baseboard about an inch when the
paper is applied, Press itedtawn'on
the baseboard. Then loesen it and
cut off the paper below the mark
made by the baseboard, and 'Dress
the paper to place again. This is
the only way to get a neat finish to
