AMERICAN HOMES AND GARDENS 



one end Is a large portrait in 

 oil of Master Donald, the 

 only son of the house. 



The dining-table, the con- 

 sole, and serving-table are of 

 stone and marble in Roman 

 design, as are the chairs and 

 benches of ivory white with 

 pink cushions. The ensemble 

 is the contrast between the 

 ivory white of the walls and 

 the exquisite pink of the dra- 

 peries and the pink rug with 

 its wide black border. 



The one color scheme has 

 been used throughout the 

 house, that of ivory white and 

 pinks, from the rich rasp- 

 berry to the palest shade of 

 pink; all the outside windows 

 and doors have French 

 shirred shades of pink silk, 

 giving a most fascinating ef- 

 fect when the house is lighted. 



The upper loggias have 

 a singularly restful charm. 

 They form open rooms in 

 summer and can be enclosed 

 in the cool weather.
