A number of these paper patterns suggest a personally conducted tour through Japan. Spain. Holland. France or England. In most Instances iho scenery paper Is used in panels, either Mindly or In groups. The edges of thJ panels are outlined with a flat shaped wooden molding about two inches wide. The n St of the wall Is then filled in with plain or striped paper carrying out the predominating tone In the panel Two or four of these panels are g ner-ally ner-ally found sufficient for a room.
