AMERICAN HOMES AND GARDENS 



§7 



The dining-room is a 

 green room, the color 

 throughout being a rich, 

 dull green. The wood- 

 work is green; the ceil- 

 ing is in green and gold ; 

 the furniture is of green 

 leather, and the curtains 

 and hangings are of a 

 tapestry fabric of green. 

 It is a beautiful and 

 simple apartment, with 

 a beamed ceiling, and 

 the walls, for the most 

 part, lined with china 

 and glass cabinets. A 

 chandelier of simple de- 

 sign depends from the 

 center of the ceiling, and 

 the lighting is com- 

 pleted with side lights 

 of similar design. Green 

 tones predominate in 

 the adjoining billiard- 

 room, for the green 

 cloth of the billiard 

 table necessarily gives 

 the keynote to such an 

 apartment, and it is 

 difficult, if not impos- 

 sible, to depart from 

 such an essential color. 



The Falls in the Upper Glen 



1 he service wing, 

 which adjoins the 

 house on this side, is 

 throughout, in all floors, 

 given up to the servants. 

 The serving-room im- 

 mediately opens from 

 the dining-room and 

 connects directly with 

 the kitchen. Then 

 comes the servants' din- 

 ing-room, the servants' 

 sitting-room and the 

 servants' porch on the 

 furthest end of the 

 house. Beyond this 

 porch is an inclosed 

 yard, also used for the 

 domestic service of the 

 house. Bedrooms and 

 bathrooms for the serv- 

 ants are in the upper 

 story. 



The second floor of 

 the main portion of the 

 house is, of course, 

 given up to bedrooms. 

 The owner's bedroom is 

 to the extreme south of 

 the house, and is the 

 largest room on this 

 floor. It is joined with
