It moat be done at least most Judiciously. For such -arrangements, however, there are no rules, one can only rely

on an Innate aenae of harmony which,

In china, heavy decoration la to be

Artistic Wall Treatments

HBRB are two wave of arv-

proaching the decoration of

uur waits. av.T.-uruiiis as uui taate does, or doea not run to

wards pictures. For the lover of these, there la only one form of wall treatment the simplest, flattest, and least complicated offering an Ideal background for the framed gema of bis collection. Plain, unfigured wallpaper, and wall coverings, generally, have for thla reason, a wide vogue, as have also those In which the flgureis unobtrusive and quletlow in tone and In relief. Much Is to be said in favor of these plain walls, in aoft dull tones, cool or rich as suits the fancy of the house

holder. Simple panellings also possess the same virtues and the same charms and one can scarcely make a mistake in choosing these effects. There are however, on the other hand, arrangements as graceful, aa artistic, as elaborate, in carefully workedout dadoes, friezes and panels, presenting in themselves a complete acheme of embellishment, similar In feeling to mural painUng. In libraries and dining-rooms, particularly, tneae dadoes and frieze effects are appropriate and charming. The mistake of hanging pictures on auch walls should be avoided, and even plates, mugs, steins, etc., should be omitted from the plate rail of the average dining-room, thus decorated. A landscape pattern, or a vine-hung lattice doea not look well when broken

by a stein or a plate. The effect to fllogical and Inharmonious. , j

in general, one snonia always stokm heaping embelllabment upon eaabelllas ment. aa the result Is aa absurd as "to ' gild refined gold, or paint the illy. . There la a certain quiet haraoay; about frieze and dado decoration, unbroken by any other adornment. Its virtue la reatfnlnssa its danger, monotony. Many find an agreeable compromise In having the walla of the living rooaa nlaln with mam- nlrtnrea. the, had' -
