   This

  a 
  spacious

  At

  is 
  an 
  arcade 
  formed 
  of 
  low 
  elliptical 
  

   arches, 
  of 
  which 
  the 
  middle 
  one 
  is 
  much

  columns. 
  A 
  high 
  wainscot 
  of

  oak 
  

   is 
  carried 
  completely 
  around

  It

  On

  wall 
  is 
  

   filled 
  with 
  a 
  series 
  of 
  glazed 
  

   doors, 
  curtained, 
  separating 
  

   the 
  hall 
  from 
  the 
  dining-

  There 
  are 
  handsome 
  

   Oriental 
  rugs 
  on

  floor. 
  The

  front 
  and

  On

  is 
  a

  It 
  is 
  charm- 
  

   ingly

  The

   The

  are 
  covered 
  with 
  

   a 
  reddish 
  brown

  the

  Behind 
  this 
  room, 
  but 
  not 
  

   connected 
  with 
  it, 
  being 
  en-

  a 
  separate

   from 
  the 
  hall, 
  is

  This 
  is 
  a

   very 
  beautifully 
  developed. 
  

   The

  watered-silk 
  

   paper, 
  with 
  the 
  same 
  green 
  

   bands 
  in 
  the 
  corners 
  and 
  mar- 
  

   gins, 
  thus 
  forming 
  large 
  

   panel-like 
  divisions. 
  The 
  

   cornice 
  is 
  white 
  and 
  richly 
  

   detailed, 
  and
