A Characteristic Mantel and Fireplace.

In the reception rooms the furniture
is quite simple. There is a "canape,"
two "marquise" chairs, a couple Of
duchess chairs, and pair of light gilt
ones. Some form OF table there is. Of
course, and an overstuffed sofa, together
with numerous smaller articles.
Bedrooms deliberately Furnished.
The bedrooms are more deliberately
fitted. First Of all, there IS either a sin
gle bed or a new style twin bed. This
latter has between the two portions a
table called a "sOmnoe." on which there
is an electric light with adjustable green
shades. At the foot is a slumber couch
for day maps. There is an overstuffed
armchair and two '1ady's chairs" with
backs designed 20 fit the feminine. shape.
There are two everyday chairs a chif-
fonier, dressing table, cheval glass,
and an arrangement Of mirrors known
as a 'costumer."

GREAT dignitary OF the Roman

Of the material things Of life which

departure the country has made from
the simplicity that characterized its
