Figure 53: Wallpaper in Ms.
Catherine’s house
Ms.
Catherine lovingly recalled her old home.
She said, “Use paper [newspaper] to keep the wind
out of the cracks. Take flour
and boil it and put paste over the paper and stick it on
the wall. Put fresh paper on
top of the paper already there every year about November. Beautify the front room--if you
had books [magazines], get some of the pretty pictures and
put on the wall. Stick them
on." (Photo 1990) |
