AMERICAN HOMES AND GARDENS, 



January, 1907 



The Drawing-room Is in Coral-pink and Ivory-white 



white of the Egyptian and 

 Roman benches and settees. 



This piazza very wisely se- 

 cures the one thing whose ab- 

 sence is most grievous to 

 many American homes — that 

 is privacy. Our homes are 

 built mostly, not to live in, 

 but to be seen, and we are too 

 self-conscious to enjoy the 

 publicity we court. It is in 

 this cloistered seclusion tea is 

 served every afternoon, and 

 it is at this time the real 

 charm of the house is felt. 



At the extreme southeast 

 end of the piazza, opposite 

 the main dining-room, is the 

 breakfast-room, where a de- 

 lightful fountain plays amid 

 ferns and palms. The hall 

 and music-room also open out 

 on this enclosed piazza. 



The dining-room is a 

 wholly classic, Roman room. 

 The walls are paneled in 

 ivory white and gold, se- 

 verely finished with a Greek 

 pattern In raw sienna. At
