Manufactured by United WalWallpaper lpaper Company, Mills, York Wallpaper, Schumacher and Provincetown Printers, in many different patterns, the new wall coverings are suitable for contemporary, traditional and provincial decors.

Instead of the wetting down and messy scraping that was necessary to remove wallpaper not too long ago, you merely lift a corner and pull the strips right off the wall! Pity the poor homeowner of the 1700' s who tried to do the same thing with his wallpaper; it was put cm with glue so strong that the only way the paper could be removed was to chip the plaster off the walls! Panel papers were fashionable in the second half of the 18th century. Each panel had a complete scene. Among the most popular were pictures of statues in full --color reproductions of fa- mous paintings, Roman ruins and Venetian scenes. Flock papers, which imitated velvet and tapestry, became popular in England and were sent to France in great quantities at the end of the 18 th century. It didnt take European wallpaper designers long to see the disadvantages of wallpaper in small sheets, and by the middle of the 17th centui7, rolls were made by pasting the sheets end to end.

The Romans installed colorful frescoed panels on the walls of their homes and public buildings; some of these can still be seen in the ruins of ancient Pompeii. One of the worlds most famous paintings, Leonardo da Vincis The Last Supper, had as its canvas a wail at Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan.

So Catherine instigated a new departure in wall decoration her walls actually had ears! BY I dont know what you did on Labor Day but I gave the end of summer a quite official sendoff in the best Salt Lake tradition: I went out to Great Salt Lake on the old Saltair Train. This trip is something I've been planning ever since I first set foot in Utah, but for one reason or other, ltwasput off or forgotten. With the revival of scheduling this year, I kept thinking about going and then something else would come up. So, in true, well -- planned tradition, at noon cm Labor Day, I suddenly realized that it was now or never before the tram was stabled away, and if I wanted to ride, this was The Efey. .

The wind blew and the irrigation ditches were left behind as the ground turned into dpserl and then into evaporation ponds and piles of salt drying in the sun. There was just time for a short history of Lake Bonneville for the younger generation and then, all too soon, we were at the end of the line where buses waited to take u& to the beach Unlike most Salt Lakers, I enjoy the lake, and can have a lovely afternoon just alternately floating and sunning.
