LITERARY The Big Thrill ERHAPS the reason the large house seemed especially quiet to Mrs. Saunders, who was removing articles from Mr. Saunders's and her bedroom, was that she herself was the noise-maker. She stood in the middle of the floor, smiling and looking about her. How good it would seem to have fresh, clean walls surround her in place of the dingy plaid hung there some years ago! The precious fall sun, throwing a luminous parallelogram upon the floor, ensnared Mrs. Saunders,s leg and, with its enticing warmth, rooted her where she stood. She glanced through the window and noticed a small truck had slowed and was turning up the drive. It charged out of sight, and she heard it whirl to the back steps, crunching the loose gravel ferociously. Mrs. Saunders pulled her reluctant leg from its trap and hurried down the stairs. The ivory truck, identified by the M. Gilford, Decorator on its side, was humbly quiet now. Short and important Mr. Gilford, who stepped to the door toting a huge Volume under each arm, was graciously allowed to enter by Mrs. Saunders. Half an hour later they were settled at the dining room table thumbing through the two wallpaper books while discussing the merits of this and that pattern. Now, Mrs. Saunders, I suggest that the room is in need of a pastel shade which will reflect the light and enliven the walls, but we must be careful not to pick a, he squinted his eye expressively, hot color. Mr. Gilford spoke precisely and confidently in a manner which awed Mrs. Saunders. Well, my husband and I have always been partial to blue- she tapped a newly exposed pattern with a slender fore-finger. My, how lovely! she said emphatically. The paper consisted of alternate pink stripes and clustered flowers hanging in vertical lines against a blue background. Isn't that simply beautiful, Mr. Gilford? Mr. Gilford cleared his throat and stroked his nose thoughtfully, preparing to make his sale. Yes, Mrs. Saunders, it is very nice,', he said smoothly. Notice how your pink stripes are daintily touched with white to give the lacy effect and how gracefully each bouquet hangs from the one above. He outlined the flowers with a professional stroke of his curved finger. Mr, Gilford, what is this piece? asked Mrs. Saunders, holding a page that was identical to the pattern, except that it lacked the flower clusters and was half the size of the other page. That, said he, is the paper for two of the walls. It is the most recent idea in wallpaper to use two related patterns instead of the traditional one. He observed her reaction. She gave him a surprised glance. My word, I haven't heard of that before. I think John would like it. Mr. Gilford discerned the suitable amount of acceptance in her attitude and pressed on. He gave her examples of rooms recently decorated in this modern way and comments they had evoked. He took the heavy book upstairs and held it against the wall, while she observed it frowningly. Mr. Gilford, she said at last, I think I will have this paper. I know you will be pleased, Mrs. Saunders, with the result. He smiled correctly and carried off his two books. I will be able to begin work at eight o'clock tomorrowf' he said in departing, since you have cleared the room. Thank you, called Mrs. Saunders. She watched the truck Whiz to the highway. Perhaps she wouldn't tell john about the two papers at all. It was so charming that he would like it as much as she, of course. Yes, she would surprise him. For three days Mr. Gilford's little truck rattled the crisp leaves in the drive at eight o'clock in the morning and again at sunset. The inconvenienced household reeked gf T-,if 'Ass' H
