HOUSE AND GARDEN

The studio, thirty-two feet long, serves also as a living room, and from the front to the commodious fireplace is furnished for that purpose. 
Work is restricted to the bay window and north light in the rear 
(12 feet 6 inches 
wide) which lent 
i t s e 1 f to an English 
type of decoration 
with a refectory ta¬ 
ble. The condemned 
pantry receives light 
and air from a shaft 
and from secret doors 
in the paneled wain¬ 
scoting of the dining¬ 
room, which can be 
opened when that 
room is not being 
used. 
The studio is 32 
feet long, including 
the 6-foot bay win¬ 
dow which is the full 
width of the room, 
and has a good “top” 
light for painting. 
So much for the gen¬ 
eral arrangement. 
The woodwork in 
the first story 
throughout is cypress 
finished with one coat 
A suggestion of English motive is given to the studio by the leaded casements and the 
wooden ceiling with its pendentives 
of stain. It was only 
after much searching 
that a stain was found 
that would give satis¬ 
factory results with 
one coat. 
The dining-room is 
paneled with an 
Elizabethan detail, to 
a height of about 
seven feet, with the 
plaster left rough 
above, and has leaded 
glass casements, 
glazed with a very 
pale amber cathedral 
glass, which gives a 
warmth of tone to the 
room whether the sun 
is shinging or not. 
The furniture is of 
oak, the table being 
arranged with exten¬ 
sion pieces which can 
be fastened onto the 
ends and increase the 
length from six to 
eight or ten feet, seat-
