illustrations of this
amusing novelty in wall
decoration. The frieze
itself is 3 ft. 9 in. wide.
This part of the wall
was first covered with
a stout drawing paper
having a coarse texture;
then a flat tint of effec-
tive red was applied,
the tone chosen being a
blending of Pompeian
red with Indian; and
