  cA 
  gentleman 
  said 
  to 
  the 
  writer 
  the 
  other 
  day 
  : 
  " 
  I 
  was 
  

   attracted 
  to 
  your 
  studios 
  because 
  I 
  want 
  Versatility. 
  I 
  want 
  in 
  

   my 
  hall 
  Elizabethan 
  oak 
  things, 
  my 
  reception-room 
  in 
  the 
  Marie 
  

   Antoinette 
  style, 
  my 
  dining-room 
  in 
  composite 
  Chippendale, 
  

  

  and 
  my 
  chambers 
  quaint- 
  

   Chintz-hung." 
  

  

  The 
  result 
  was, 
  that, 
  

   being 
  specialists, 
  Mr. 
  

   Verbeck 
  planned 
  the 
  hall 
  

   stately, 
  ancient 
  old 
  English.

  Mr.

  all

  Perhaps 
  you 
  have 
  a 
  room 
  or

  to

  if 
  so, 
  send 
  

   along 
  your

  and 
  preconceptions. 
  The
