Text Appearing Before Image:
Quaint Nursery Frieze Sections May Be Had Separately iscover anything that lends A crown for a dining-room a paper with a Burne-Jones ground, which matches the plain paper that is used down to the wainscoting. Upon the heavy, gnarled vine in purple-tan shades are dainty tendrils, leaves of russet and green, and great grapes of deliciously warm purple hues. The pictured crown is cut from a design showing splendid white grapes on a magnifi- cent vine, and is used above a white paper with a high gloss stripe in a room with immaculately white wood- work and rare old mahog- any furniture. So out of the ordinary is the French parrot frieze, and so entirely "in the pic- ture" with the Colonial fur- nishings of a Colonial house, that it can not be declared banal even by the greatest stickler for plain walls. No matter how dead friezes may be in the ordinary sense, they are tremendously alive if they be exceptional in themselves or very much in accord with the other furnishings, or with the taste of the occu- pant. This very deep par- rot frieze, which costs $1.50 per yard, shows splendid parrots done In blues and greens and a sumptuous, rosy shade which is both raspberry red and watermelon pink. Some of them are plucking rosy grapes from the mas- sive vine with its richly tinted leaves. With rasp- berry pink hangings and a rug in that tone—what de- lightful warmth! Indeed, color richness is the key- note of this superb new French parrot frieze. Another exceptional example Is the sunset yachting frieze, which has been used In the seashore house of a yachtsman.
