of quarry tile flanked with deep seated settles, and 
a massive hood thrusting a moosehead far into the 
room. Hammered iron chandeliers and_ side 
brackets studded with old silver fastenings, brown 
leather cushions, and the dull Venetian red in the 
rugs, harmonize with the brownish green of the 
chestnut woodwork, and green (terra verte) of 
the plastered side walls. ‘The ceiling has massive 
beams with rough plaster cast placed in the panels 
formed by these beams. ‘The walls of the room 
have paneled wainscotings and bookcases built in.

placed at either side of the ingle-nook. This fire-

placed a decorative panel entitled ‘‘Dawn,” show-

the mists, and rising from the lower land is the 
morning blush of the sun lighting the horizon and 
tipping the tops of the trees in the middle distance. 
The walls of the room have a high paneled wain- 
scoting with white enamel treatment and mahog- 
any trimmings, above which they are covered with 
a low toned tapestry effect. The buffet, which is 
built in the recess, with its counter and drawers 
underneath and its brass trimmings, is quite a fea- 
ture of the room. A door opens into the butler’s 
pantry, which is fitted with all the best modern

fixtures and conveniences, and a second door opens 
into the kitchen and its dependencies, which are 
furnished in a similar manner. The rear hall and 
staircase is conveniently placed, and gives access 
to the kitchen from the front hall and also to the 
cellar and to the third floor. 
The second floor is divided into bedrooms fur- 
nished with all the necessary appurtenances. The 
owner'’s suite, consisting of two bedrooms, dressing-

white, the walls are covered with canvas and each 
room is decorated in one particular color scheme. 
The bathrooms have tiled floors and wainscotings, 
and porcelain fixtures and exposed nickelplated 
plumbing. 
The servants’ bedrooms and bath and the trunk 
room are placed on the third floor. The heating 
apparatus, fuel rooms, cold storage room and 
laundry are placed in the cellar.
