FURNISHING THE HOME
Conducted for The Star
BY ELIZABETH STETSON AND
GENEyIEvE HENDRICKS
Early English Library.
RY ELIZABETH STETSON.

The library Is a room which is com
gnr more and more into popular favor
mot by any means that people are
1lsing more books for their elementary
spurrose, but they are reallZlnE the
decorative value Of these same books
rhen placed in rows around the walls.
I'm addition to this, the big scene in

in the library, the father disinherits
the son here, or the dead body is found
In this room. The playgoing and
film-seeing public have at last real
lied the Importance of this room: so
have the people who possess a great
number of hooks and read them.
Therefore. it is necessary to speak or
the interior treatme and furnishing
of a library.
Let us start, chronologically. with
the library OF an early English house.
In the simpler home the walls would
he OF rough plaster and the bookcases
would be few in number, probably
only on one wall. The woodwork
should be dark OF course, and the fur-
niture Of the heavy, dark type.
Wood Panels Preferred.
But the picture which Is called to
mind when one speaks OF the library
Is invariably that Of a wood-paneied
room. For the early English house,
whether 1t is Tudor, Elizahethan, Jaco.
bean or Stuart. a room such as we
describe below will be perfectly appro-
pYiate The wall space, II any must
be paneled in dark oak or walnut.
The bookshelves and other wood
work should he carried out in the
same manner with that softwaX finish
which brings out the grain of the
wood. To be correct in the period
STYLE. these panels must be small ana
rectangular. The shelves should run
from floor to ceiling. and the ceillig
should be kept low. so that even the
high shelves can be easily reached.
However, If your room has high
ceiling, yet one which is not high
enough to accommodate gallery
around the walls. YOU can settle the
matter by placing those books which
are not read land who does not pos
sess quite a number of these0 on the
shelves which are out of ordinary
reach
There should always be a fireplace
in the library The picture is not
complete without it-a cold Winter
night, a warm fire and an interesting
book; perfect satisfaction.
Oriental Rugs Necessary.
In this early English room at the
windows one should have creWel work
or linen curtains printed with the
tree of life or any other Eastern de-
sign. Failing this. a plain linen in
solid color. such as vermillion, scar
