  AMERICAN 
  HOMES 
  AND 
  GARDENS 
  

  

  one 
  end 
  is 
  a 
  large 
  portrait 
  in 
  

   oil 
  of 
  Master 
  Donald, 
  the 
  

   only 
  son 
  of 
  the 
  house. 
  

  

  The 
  dining-table, 
  the 
  con- 
  

   sole, 
  and 
  serving-table 
  are 
  of 
  

   stone 
  and 
  marble 
  in 
  Roman 
  

   design, 
  as 
  are 
  the 
  chairs 
  and 
  

   benches 
  of 
  ivory 
  white 
  with 
  

   pink 
  cushions. 
  The 
  ensemble 
  

   is 
  the 
  contrast 
  between 
  the 
  

   ivory 
  white 
  of 
  the 
  walls 
  and 
  

   the 
  exquisite 
  pink 
  of 
  the 
  dra- 
  

   peries 
  and 
  the 
  pink 
  rug 
  with 
  

   its 
  wide 
  black 
  border. 
  

  

  The 
  one 
  color 
  scheme 
  has 
  

   been 
  used 
  throughout 
  the 
  

   house, 
  that 
  of 
  ivory 
  white 
  and 
  

   pinks, 
  from 
  the 
  rich 
  rasp- 
  

   berry 
  to 
  the 
  palest 
  shade 
  of 
  

   pink; 
  all 
  the 
  outside 
  windows 
  

   and 
  doors 
  have 
  French 
  

   shirred 
  shades 
  of 
  pink 
  silk, 
  

   giving 
  a 
  most 
  fascinating 
  ef- 
  

   fect 
  when 
  the 
  house 
  is 
  lighted. 
  

  

  The 
  upper 
  loggias 
  have 
  

   a 
  singularly 
  restful 
  charm. 
  

   They 
  form 
  open 
  rooms 
  in 
  

   summer 
  and 
  can 
  be 
  enclosed 
  

   in 
  the 
  cool 
  weather. 
  

  

  Another 
  Glimpse 
  of 
  the 
  Enclosed 
  Piazza 
  

  

  The 
  Dining-room's 
  Color 
  Scheme 
  Is 
  Coral-pink 
  and 
  Ivory-white. 
  The 
  Table 
  and 
  Buffet 
  Are 
  Marble
