UNIQUE IN DECORATIVE IDEAS

Praise Must Be Awarded Individuals Who Have "Sprung" Something New on Old World. A famous prim a donna had two rooms of her town house decorated with what she called, “The records of din and dinner.” ’ To be translated, this meant that her bedroom was papered with leaves of music from the operas in which. she had won fame and fortune, an<| that her dining room was similarly decorated with the hotel bills she had collected —and paid—in every country and continent. A wealthy young woman had many adflnirers, either for herself or her possessions, and received plies of love letters. She decided to make n jdado of them in her special sanctum. For months it became quite a society function to sit on the floor and read this lady’s dado aloud.

Another room In the club is papered wtth theater tickets, completed with a cornice of champagne corks all round the room. What a lot of “Won’t-go-home-till-mornings” those silent corks could repeat had each a tongue!
