Th papering of a bedroom li most
Important. It is very necessary that

the papvr. till your eyes dimmed and
your lira J swam? Or have you ever
wakened with a start, thinking you

Th design shown Is for the stencil
ing. Cut this out of th paper, and
trace It onto stenciling paper by means
of a carbon sht then cut th design
out with a sharp penknife. First make
a two-inch hem on the muslin curtalns.t
down one aide and across the bottom,
then lay sheets of blotting paper on th
table and pin th curtail, to them;
plao th stencil tj as to leave a apace
of about twe Inches from th design to

thumb-tacks, then apply the color.
Using either oil paints or dye. After

A very successful bedroom Is thM

and dathty bedspread, is moat impos
ing, Wlule the wooden crib at th foot
of t is bd. which Is tastefully draped
with white swIss curtains snl caught
with a big pink bow of ribbon, gives a
delightfully humelike touch to the
room. The mahogany chiffonier besld
the bed was originally an old bureau,
which was cut almost In hal. to make
this pretty bit ot furniture,
A LADDER-BACKED CHAIR
Under the
pretty little leaded glass
windows are built-in cupboards and
drawers, wnicn are puiniaj whit, and,
besides looking well In th room, are
a great convenient). The other view of
th same room shows beautiful mahog
any dressing table, with olaw feet and
glass knobs, a llttl sewing talil to
match, and part of a mahogany "high
boy." Th chairs shown are also ma
hogany and ot good construction. Th
floor Is covered with a two-toned green
carpel rug.
A similar Dresden strip paper was
Used for another room. Hi paper run
ning (o the picture rail, which is hung
bin Inches below th celling, and the
celling paper brought down to meet it.
Th bureau Is mahogany, and th larg
est on 1 ever remember seeing. It Is
a cleverly constructed piece, as it Is so
well proportioned that th width doe
not make Itself too much felt. A ladder
backed chair in th corner U a vary old
tdece. and Is delightfully uualnl with
ts rush-bottomed seat. Th floor is
covered with th natural colored mat
ting with a ros design la soft ims
and pink her and there.
But tak car that ail tb pinks In
your room are of th earn tones and
beware of having too many different eul
