         6 . The facing screen of  claim 2 , wherein the facing screen is of an oblong rectangular shape, and wherein a first edge A and second edge B are opposed and parallel long edges and a third edge D and fourth edge E are opposed and parallel short edges. 
     
     
         7 . The facing screen of  claim 1 , wherein the facing screen is adapted to be releasably and operably installed on the backing screen in each of the orientations and presentations described by means of either a hook component or a loop component of a hook-and-loop fastener affixed on each of the opposed first and second sides of the facing screen. 
     
     
         8 . The facing screen of  claim 2 , wherein the facing screen is adapted to be releasably and operably installed on the backing screen in each of the orientations and presentations described by means of either a hook component or a loop component of a hook-and-loop fastener affixed on each of the opposed first and second sides of the facing screen. 
     
     
         9 . The facing screen of  claim 1 , further comprising a hold-down component that is secured along the one of said edges that extends across the bottom of the installed facing screen. 
     
     
         10 . The facing screen of  claim 2 , further comprising a hold-down component that is secured along the one of said edges that extends across the bottom of the installed facing screen. 
     
     
         11 . The facing screen of  claim 9 , wherein the hold-down component comprises a protective padding component.
