AMERICAN HOMES AND GARDENS 



TV Hall Has a Colonial Wainscoting, an Ornamental Stairway and Antique Fi 



painted trim and the blue draperies, hung over thinner white ones, and which fall in graceful folds from brass rods placed at the top 

 of the windows. The furniture of the room is excellent. The old Empire sofa thrown across one corner of the room, the Chippen- 

 dale chair placed at one side, the two old tcatables and the Hepplewhite side table and the beautiful Empire mirror over the table, 

 together with the fine old Sheraton screen, help to make a delightful room. 



The great living-room and den are to the right of the entrance, and are treated in the same general style as the drawing-room. 

 The wall space above the wainscoting is, however, covered with a green wall covering. The den is separated from the living-room 



by a fine design carried out in a plaster archway supported on fluted columns with Ionic capitals. The open fireplace, built of red 

 brick, has a hearth of red tile and a Colonial mantel. A quaint Colonial bookcase is built in at one side of the fireplace. Fresh from 

 the hand of the builder, the room must have presented an effective, but severe, elegance, which was soon dispelled by the artistic 

 furnishings with which it is supplied. The soft green draperies at the windows over thinner curtains of white Madras lend a pleas- 

 ing tone to the room, while the fine old Empire sofa at one end, the old banjo clock, the two Empire tea tables, the corner chair 

 of Chippendale make, the thousand-legged table, the Sheraton side table, the old desk and Windsor chair in the den, carry out the 



Old Staffordihire Ware. Including Some of the Stale Plate,.

The Old Desk and Windsor Chaii Carry Out the Antique Effect Sought in the Den. Which Is Separated 

 from the Living-room by a Massive Archway and Is Full of Quaint Comfort
