These walls are painted a soft gray
green color, touched here and there
especially up near the ceiling and in
the cornersl with a little burnt orange
and gray brown to give an old. worn
appearance. The ceiling is also of
rough plaster about the same color as
the walls, there being no line of de-
marcation between them.
The floor has been stained dark,

boards. tiles or stone Tagging. A

In travelling through the suburbs
of our great cities we come across the
most recent architectural versions of
the detached house. The automobile
has made it possible for people to live
in the suburbs and country surround
ing the cities in which they work, and
consequently a wholesale back TO
the country with the comforts of the
city" movement is taking place. This,
of course, necessitates different type
of architecture. The cities still find
that the more formal building styles,
such as the Italian Renaissance and
the Georgian perhaps we should call
this style that of the eighteenth ana
early nineteenth centuries rather than
Georgian) are more satisfactory 10
their formal surroundings. But in the
nearby country where the landscape
dips and rises, a more casual style
is necessary. So we find that the early
English country house and the French
manor house with their irregular roof
lines. half-timbre and stucco walls,

of modern work, one of the Fortuny
prints, a copy of a medieval damask.
A rectangular table with six sturdily
turned legs is in the center of the
room. The chairs, two of which stand
at the table, are of carved oak and the
seats are covered by loose cushions
of henna red velvet. A serving table,
flanked by two chairs each. stands
against the third wall of the room,
while the end facing the window is
taken up by two more arched and pam
eled doors.
The lighting fixtures are brackets
grouped in pairs about the room. They
are finished in pewter, which blends
we'll with the other furnishings.
BY the introduction of a slightly
different kind of chair and sideboard,
this type of furnishing will do very
well for the house which is more
French than English in spirit.
