DRESSING the walls is one of the arts of today. More money is being put into it by the average family than, say for pictures or other wall deco ration. From the mere covering of an unsightly wall surface, it has grown to the dignity of a decorative art. Can there be any surprise, therefore, in the fact that the public is evincing a greater interest in better wall decoration? And having helped to lift wall deco ration to its proper place in home beau tification, we feel this concerns the in terest of every home owner who feels justly satisfied with only the best in home decoration.
