A PAGE OF REMARKABLE 

 FIREPLACES 



AT LEFT At Haddon Hall, Deibyshire. this 

 old fireplace and the Old English Oak wains- 

 coting is still in existence, though the drawing 

 was made more than half a century ago. It was 

 around fireplaces of this sort that the traditional 

 Christmas of Old England grew. To mention 

 those old celebrations suggests old oak-paneled 

 rooms of this sort and we can hardly think of the 

 rooms themselves without visions of glorious old 

 holidays and the finest traditions of home life. 



BELOW This Dutch kitchen dates from 

 the seventeenth century and is in the Ancient 

 Draperer's House, Leyden. Note the wooden 

 shelf and hood and the tiled walls and floor. 



ABOVE This remarkably Italian looking 

 room is in the residence of William G. Mather, 

 Cleveland, Ohio, and was designed by Charles 

 A. Piatt, of New York. 



AT RIGHT The rooms in the Trianons 

 are less elaborate than at Versailles. In this, 

 the Salon a Mttsiqne at the Grand Trianon, the 

 wooden paneling is painted putty color, and 

 there is none of the gilding of ornament that 

 was used so lavishly by Louis XV at Ver- 

 sailles.
