cA PRACTICAL HANDBOOK 



For Decorators, Paperhangers, Architects, Build- 

 ers and House Owners, with many half-tone and 

 other illustrations showing the latest designs. 



By" ARTHUR SEYMOUR JENNINGS 



Extract from Preface 

 The author has endeavored to include char- 

 acteristic designs in vogue to-day, and to give 

 reliable information as to the choice of wall 

 papers as well as to describe the practical 

 methods of applying them. In dealing with 

 matters concerning decoration there is always 

 the danger of leaning too much toward an ideal 

 and of overlooking the practical requirements 

 of commercial life. The author hopes that he 

 has been successful in avoiding this fault, and 

 that his book will be regarded as both practical 

 and useful.
