Old fashioned carved banisters. If

from old homes and placed into new
ones with good effect. They call for
space and look entirely out of the pic-

of these old -timey banistcr designs will

pole stairs, with their lovely sweeping
curves and spindle ratings. are being

houses.
Since the wall beside the stairway is

something in her that sro hadn't known
she possessed, something primitive,
something that responded to him in spite
of everything she could do to prevent il.
