tel. Opposite the fireplace end of the room 
the wall space to the height of four feet is 
occupied by bookcases, furnished with glass 
doors. French windows open from the 
library into the loggia. 
The dining-room is treated in the Colonial 
style, with white enamel trim, which is quite 
in harmony with the soft blue and white 
wall decorations of old Delft. The char- 
acter of the room is enhanced by the ma- 
hogany furniture of Colonial design.

the butler’s pantry, which is provided with 
a sink, dressers, cupboards, closets, ete.

kitchen, which is ample in size and well ap- 
pointed with ail conveniences. It has a ce- 
ment wainscoting and is well fitted with sink, 
dressers, pantry, range, etc. 
The upper hall forms the center from 
which all the rooms open. A touch of light 
is added to the hall by the windows placed on 
the landing of the staircase. The arrange- 
ment of the bedrooms on this floor is admir- 
able. ‘The hall and each room is trimmed 
with pine and treated with white enamel 
paint, with the wall decorations in different 
colors and schemes. ‘There are four bed- 
rooms, with large closets, a linen closet, and 
two bathrooms on this floor. The bathrooms

nished with porcelain fixtures and exposed
