Reception and Living Room.

A reception room that takes the place
of a parlor is easier to furnish than
the o1d-time parlor or "best room. -
In the reception room the caller in out
door costume feels more at ease in
quiet-toned surroundings than in white
and gold furnishings that belong more
fttingly in a drawing ROOM In the re.
ception room any personal objects of
family life will naturally be omitted,
and due regard paid to furniture that
is pleasing in line. pictures that are
entertaining in quality, and colors that
are tastefully blended. A clock and a
mirror should not be omitted in this
room, and some photographs or prints
on table, a late magazine or an at
tractive book will be welcomed by
waiting visitors.
The combination of uses to which
living room is put makes it center
of attraction in the home. To go to
William Morris for inspiration in its
furnishing will give some useful hints
cases with plenty Of books, -comforta-
BILE chairs, tables of commodious size,
vases for flowers, real works Of art on
the walls, and the fireplace the chief
object Of all.

covered with heavy linen, arras cloth,
jute or taffeta. The window hangings
may be of a coarse-meshed net. A
| double student lamp accomplishes a
real service, and the fittings of the
fireplace, if bought in black iron. will
save labor in cleaning. Heliotype
prints may be hung on the walls, and
a focusing point Of interest be made
over the mantel with an ivory-toned
plaster cast. Brass candlesticks and
bowls, pottery of good design and
plants in jardinieres of graceful shapes
| will contribute a charm that can be
| wrought only with the minor belong

little suburb of Fontenay- near
Paris; "Le Petit Bois' is the poetic
name they give it. It lays no claim
to formality; just a stretch of green
with a few shade trees and some lilac
bushes, but here a master lives and
works as secluded from the world as
scholar in his study. Dejeuner is
served outside, models are posed in
plain air and many chef-d 'oeuvre has
been the result Of work in this quiet
garden. All the atmosphere of a real
forest seems concentrated within it's
four walls, and the whole is no larger
than many suburban gardens which we
see wholly given to the use of the
clothes lines and domestic service.
The French, who do so many things
better, have learned well how to util-
ize the possessions to the best adj
vantage and how to derive real pleas
ure from things scarcely needed by our
own countrymen.

Cheap and COMFORTABLE
LOWELL A. EAMOREAUX,
Architect, SIG Lum Der Exchange.

This cottage is designed for a cheap
and comfortable summer home. 1t has
a large veranda on three sides of the
building, and is so laid out as to give a
handsome view of the lake in front
from all parts of the house. -
The living room is l4x24; with three
large doubled easement doors opening to
the front, and so arranged that when
they are thrown wide open, they fit
back into pockets; placing them entirely
out of the way, and at the same time
practically throwing the front of the
house wide open. In the center Of the
livingrOom at the rear, is fireplace
about eight feet wide, which could be
built of cobble stone or brick.
There is another easement window
opening on the veranda at one end from
the diningroom. The house is so ar
ranged that meals can be served on this
side porch from the pantry in pleasant
weather, and in the diningroom in I'M
pleasant weather.
The second floor is arranged with all
chambers toward the lake. The two
end rooms, being made larger than the
others, are more desirable and are in
tended for family use. The center
rooms are arranged in such way that
the windows back of the house may all
be opened and goood draft secured
thru the rooms.
The effect Of the cottage on the sec
ond floor is purposely tn at of an OBJ
servation car. That is, there are very
large glass windows, from which hand
some views of thelake may be obtained.
Over the kitchen on the second floor is
a balcony which may be screened in and
makes comfortable, cool retiring place
for members of the family. This can
be arranged into pa Inn garden or with
vines and flowers which would make a
very handsome effect, the wood cornices
of the roof protecting this, as well as
the entire house, from the heat of the
sun. -
