Tinted Walls.

It is far cheaper to tint walls with water or “size colors” than it is to paint them with oils. Moreover, thd colors are lovely vend the finish., soft. The only difficulty lies in the fact fnat tinted walls cannot* be washed. Size or fresco colors should never be touched with water. They may he cleaned wi‘h bread crumbs, or Indian meal, but the process is a tedious one. Dry pigments ere used for this tinting; They generally mixed in glue size that has been dissolved In hot water. They cost about fifty-five cents a package and one package will cover about forty square yards.—Harper’s Bazar.
