WALL COVERINGS.
What Kind of New Paper Will You |
Choose Now?
A WIDE RANGE THIS YEAR.
An Expert Tells How to Treat Wall*
and Colors So That Rooms Open
ing Into Each Other Give the Idea of
Spaciousness and Harmony.
The day Is til ready dawning when
Instruction lu color values and house
decoration will be a part of the course
of siudy iu every school. Theu, and
then only, will all »f us be able to
I'hooae tasteful furnishings, restful
walls and harmonious color schemes.
Even If only a few artists be "born"
all of us can be taught the principles
uf art aud bow to express It In the I
home.
Let us begin witn a scuuy 01 nmu j
mil wall coverings, because they are
really tbe true framework of the
room. They form the background for
nil pictures, ornaments, curtains and
iianrfngs. Therefore they must be
•hosen flrst If we are to have rooms
that are restful and that al>o express
best their relation to the windows and |
lighting.
We can be thankful that the days
have almost gone when decorators of
fer us papers with climbing onions and
Interlocked rhubarb plants. Gone. In
deed, are most of the medallion wall
papers with their huge twelve inch re
peating unit. We have today a selec
tlon from a wide class of more neutral
papers in shades, such as putty, buff,
sand, gray, etc.. in which tbe variety
ia given not by tbe color, but by th»
texture, tiny stripe, dot or fleck In the
,-raln of the paper itself.
While these neutral i>apers are not
suitable or necessary In every room. It
should be borne In mind
That Ught colors make rooms appear
larger.
That rooms opening Into each other j
should not be (>a[>ered with toues in j
violent contrast but that similar or I
harmonious tones are best
That long, narrow hallways and rooms
with northern and eastern exposure
are preferably treated with warm
light tones.
That light backgrounds with undeeld
ed pattern make the best surface on
which to show off pictures, hangings
and other furnishing.
Low ceilings will appear still lower
if the wall space Is broken by a frieze
plate rail, molding or other horizontal
line which divides the space, so that
it Is best, particularly In our small
rented homes or flats, to avoid papers '
or coverings with a break In the pat j
tern near the celling or halfway down
Horizontal vtrl|>e« also make ceilings 1
appear higher and are thus particular
ly suited to the small, low celled room
Tapers with high gloss (Jnlshes, while
attractive In bedrooms, are out of place
and undignified for living or dinini.'
room or library. Everybody knows
but does not always follow tbe |>olnt.
that warm, bright colors and tones are
needed In "cool" rou.us with north or
eastern exposure, while those receiving
southern and western sun ran have
their walls treated with the less heat
lug colors and shniles. particularly
grays, blues and neutral tints.
Many fabric coverings for walls aic
on the niarket In iN'rmaucnt home*
they are most desirable because they
do not mar. tear or show usage. The
small rented bedroom should be tinted
•r painted for hygienic reasons, but !n
all rooms, whether fabric or paper cov
ered. choice should be guided by means
of light and art

BALK AT MARRIAGE
English Nobility Reluctant to Talk
Matrimony With Servian Prince
WARMLY GREETED ON VISIT.
Alexander Makes Great Impression For
Himself and His People, but Rumor
of a Wife Hunt Causes Many to
Place Themselves on Guard Against
Any Matrimonial Talk.
London. — Alexanaer. crown prince
and resent of Sen-la. has been In
England hunting a wife, it Is rumored,
as well as seeking political and finan
cial assistance in recovering his coun
try. He made a great impression and
created a warm sentlmeent for him
self and his i>eople. But fathers with
marriageable daughters, from King
George downward, did not appear anx
ious to meet any matrimonial advances
from the prim e. He went to Bucking
ham palnce and was entertained by
the king aud queen. Prince Albert was
delegated to meet him at the station
and to see him off when he departed.
But Priucess Mary did not come in
contact with him.
The hesitation manifested by Engllst.
fathers and mothers of high degree to
an alliance with Prince Alexander Is
largely caused by the uncertainty of
his ever sitting upon the throne of his
father and the certainty of his living
in constant danger of his life If he ever
Is able to return to Belgrade. It has
takeu some time for Kugland to over
Pnoto by American Press Association
CBOWJf PRINCE ALEXANDER.
come Hi feeling of repugnance to the
prince and his father, King Peter hav
ing always l>cen held responsible for
the murder of Kins Alexander and'
Queen 1 >rai;n. whose deaths reuoved
the obstacles in the way of his own ac
cession, while Triiire Alexander was
blamed primarily for the assassination
of the Archduke Francis Ferdinand
and the Duchess of Uoheuberg. The
prince's gallant conduct in the war and
the general feelinu In England that the
British government was responsible for
unwisely advising the Servian army to
resist the Invaders and hold out until
t :e allies sent re-enforcements have
treated n reversion of feeling In his
favor.
The government took paint not to
Involve England in any way with the
aii'airs of Sen-la except as relating to
tlii3 war. The priuce was the guest
of Lord Kit' heuer, and at York Uouse
Prince Alexander met Sir Edward
Crcjr, the secretary of foreign affairs,
in a party which Included the Earl of
Derby and Walter Long, both mem
bers of the jrovernment. Sir Edward
Grey was likewise present at the din
ner given In honor of the prince by
Lewis llareourt on behalf of the gov
ernment. The Marquis of Crewe, lead
er of the government in the house of
lords, presided at this dinner. The
Russian ambassador, the Japanese am
bassador, the Belgian minister, the
Porttvuese minister, the Marquis of
Lansd iwne. Lord Kitchener. Arthur
Balfour, Walter Ruticlman. Lord Rob
ert Cei-II. General Sir William Robert
son and the lord chancellor were pres
ent.
Sir Edward (Jrey was also upon the
platform at Victoria station when
Priu'-e Alexander, accompanied by
Prince Albert and Lord Kitchener, ar
rived to take the train for the coa:;t
and embark for the continent. The
foreign secretary of the Rrltish gov
ernment did not entertain the prince
regent of Servla at any official hos
pitality. And. although the prince re
gent was accompanied by his prime
minister, M. Pashitch, they were not
receive! or entertained by the British
prime 1 Mr. Asquith.
Seldom has any visiting royalty ever
received In England such a deputation
of distinguished men In different walks
of life :s waited upon Prince Alex
ander at his hotel.
