An end of a bedroom 
ture. The French window, opening from the dining-room 
to the piazza, which is used in summer for tea, was built in 
place of the old wooden door which occupied the same place, 
and was the original entrance to the house. The change gives 
the dining-room a bright and cheerful appearance. 
The kitchen and laundry are furnished with all the best 
modern fixtures. The woodwork is painted a soft green 
tone, while the walls are painted a lighter shade. 
The stairs to the second story rise from the dining-room. 
The second story contains the owner’s room, which is finished 
in old rose, with furniture of the Empire period. Old rose 
silk draperies are hung at the windows, while a rug of old 
rose covers the floor. A door opens into the bathroom, 
which has a tiled floor and wainscoting, and is furnished 
with porcelain fixtures and exposed nickelplated plumbing. 
The bathroom is also reached from the hall, and is within 
easy access of the guest room on this floor, which is finished 
with pale gray painted trim and delft blue. Blue silk hang- 
ings are hung at the windows.

shelved window-seat. 
The servant’s room is in the attic, and it is supplied with 
hot and cold water, which is a very necessary detail when 
economy of space has to be thought of. 
The old picket gateway, with its overhanging privet 
hedge extending in either direction from it, gives a certain 
amount of privacy to the house, which is quite close to the 
road. 
The garden is reached from the main porch of the house. 
It is simply an old-fashioned flower garden. There are 
walks through and across it, forming square and oblong beds, 
in which are a profusion of flowers that bloom throughout 
the season. Beyond the flower garden, and connecting with it, 
are the vegetable and kitchen gardens. ‘The old house, with 
its setting of fine old trees and shrubs, need not be con- 
sidered as a “back number”’ on account of age, or as unsuited 
to readaptation to modern requirements, but it must be of 
such a character as to warrant the installing of all the con-
