New Fashions in Wall Papers BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. %——fl\, =K G )))é) = Z 7 PATTERNED WALLS HAVE BECOMF. POPULAR. ‘There has been a glowing interest in decorative wall papers for residences. The pendulum swung its farthest*away from them some years ago, when plain papers were used almost exclusively in the main rooms of a house. Today | both patterned and plain papers are employed. The vogue for patterned | papers has been fostered by the fashion | for bare walls. These in themselves are not attractive. Restful they may be when free from ornamentation, but more is expected of walls than just this. They should be pleasing and in correct accord with the purpose of the room, such as hall, living room, dining room, chamber, etc. lain walls are too neutral and because they are papers, patterned walls have become popular. Also when every atom of variety has been squeezed out of a fashion change is inevitable. ‘Therefore, plain walls are not the style unless they are to serve as backgrounds for superimposed decoration, such as Eunfinu and other pictures and wall angings. ‘To meet the demand for artistry and walls ornamental in themselves the old- time landscape pape: into schemes in whichi cost is not of moment. The small landscapes, once so much in favor for halls and dining| rooms, are not included in the fashion being discussed, but papers of the mural type, in which one whole side of room is required to complete a pic- torial panel. On such a paper pictures and hangings would be superfiuous and in bad taste. The paper itself is all- sufficient. Sometimes genuine murals are wall decorations.

Chatterer the Red Squirrel, had chuckled times over the memory of how Impy the black Chipmunk and Mrs. Impy had taken to when he had warmed them away from the nut trees. He felt quite puffed up to think he had put them to flight so easily. He had kept watch of those trees and he felt certain that not once had Impy or Mrs. Impy been back there. “I gave them a good scare,” thought Chatterer. “I don't believe they'll come back at all. If they do, I'll give them another scare. 1If I can keep them away for a while u:x may forget all about these nuts by the time they are ripe. . The fewer there are to take them, the better.” It was only & day or two later that Chatterer. going over for a look at the nut trees, spied Impy and Mrs, Impy heading in the same direction.

In a second he was on his feet again, but he wasn't chuckling. No, sir, he wasn't chuc- kling! There wasn't a chuckle left in him, He was simply angry through and through. He started after Impy, for it was Impy who had struck him. But he hadn’t reached Impy, who was walting for him and not running away at all, when once more he was knocked over. Of course, it was little Mrs. Impy who had hit him this time. Once more Chatterer scrambled to his feet and now he was in a great rage. Yes, sir, he was ES. By Thornton W. Burgess. in a great rage.
