NE of the results of a reaction against bare, painted walls is the return of tapestry wall hangings to British homes.
When the tapestry or the rug is hung on a and-painted wall, it can be removed easily in the spring, the wall washed where there will inevit ably be a dirt mark, and the rug need not be put up again till the winter.
In mediaeval days this was a very necessary precaution against the chill of cold stone walls and the whistling draughts that came from ill- Sitting doors and windows. Nowadays in the country, women are finding that a piece of tapes- try, or a beautiful rug hung on the wall instead of trodden under foot is a warmth-giver during the trying months of January, February, and March.

This room had still the whitewashed walls of the garage it had once been, and there were pipes that it would have been costly and difficult to conceal.
