THE chief charm of the dining-room is its simplicity and its artistic furnishings. It is 

 trimmed with chestnut, and its walls are covered with golden burlap. A plate-rack 

 extends around the room on which are placed some old pewter plates. The furniture is 

 unique, and the dining-table is a copy of " Mohere's ' table.
