sue SCEPSE TO Tetempt; Or there are to be found, almost sour vace, wallpapers at low prices in small indistinct patterns and subdued colors which are even ly in themselves and which give warmth and tone to the room; or the plain, coarse gray paper, which makes 80 ex cellent a background for pictures, is available, so that it seems almost wrong to weary the eye and brain of the ten ants of a room with the gaudy, obtrus ive papers so often used. If the white walls or the ugly paper cannot be changed, let us not increase the ugliness by putting patches of bril liant color in any form of ornament upon them. Even the Japanese fans, which are so popular that one hardly dares utter a protest inst them, do not always beautify. They may, indeed, if judiciously and moderately used on a plain, dull colored wall, make a pleas ant relief to the eye, or a frieze com posed of them is sometimes good. Still, we hope their days is over and that they are passing away from even the re motest farm-house walls,—Henrietta Davis, in Good Housekeeping.
