The color scheme of the living-room is most effective. The decorations for the room and the furnishings were designed by the owner 
Under the stair landing is a 
most convenient little cupboard, 
which the master of the house 
calls his ‘‘Boozorium,”’ as in one 
small corner of it he 
keeps a few joyful 
bottles. The most of 
it, however, is de- 
voted to a series of 
shelves upon which 
are placed a number 
of cunning individual 
cooking-pots with 
covers, of a beautiful 
lettuce green; these, 
with pottery plates, 
‘teapots, etc., all of 
lettuce green, were 
green made by the 
children in Holland 
and specially im- 
ported for Madame 
by a kind and artistic 
friend. The drawers 
below are for silver, 
and under these are 
wide and deep shelves 
for the table linen, 
which, being out of 
the ordinary, deserves 
a word in passing. 
The table, being a 
kitchen table of deal, 
9-6"x19-9" 
with oak legs, is stained a dark brown. Around the edge is a 
small stencil border in green and blue. One can see at once that 
here the usual white cloth is out of the question, so this has been 
most pleasantly evaded by using hemstitched doilies of coarse Rus- 
sian linen, upon 
which have been sten- 
ciled a design cover- 
ing the entire doily. 
One set is of orange- 
colored conventional- 
1zZed pomegranates 
with all the hems 
stained yellow. 
A few of the cur- 
tains in the upstairs 
rooms are, perhaps, 
worthy of note. One 
sort, painted on un- 
bleached muslin, has 
a border of green and 
blue peacock eyes, 
with spots at intervals 
on the center field. A 
bureau runner and _table- 
cover on Russian linen 
dishtoweling are used with 
these, while a bedcover of 
muslin, edged and spotted 
with peacock eyes, com- 
plete this part of the fur- 
nishing. Another room 
has curtains of hollyhocks, 
growing in a garden.
