House & Garde 
Give the children an attic room to themselves. Fit it up as study, 
bedroom or nursery. Use plenty of wicker and hook rugs. Storage 
closets can be placed in the jog at the end. F. Patterson Smith was 
the architect, and Brett, Gray & Hartwell the decorators 
The attic shown above and Oelow is a boys’ room. The study corner 
ts at this end, the sleeping part at the other. Open beams, white walls 
and simple sturdy furnishings make a boys’ paradise. It is their own 
furniture, not the cast-off pieces from downstairs 
In one alcove, by 
a window, is a lit¬ 
tle sewing corner 
where mother can 
come for a mo¬ 
ment’s peace or to 
superintend the 
youngsters’ hours 
of study 
In another alcove, 
the boys have a 
fireplace of their 
own where they 
can bring their 
gang of small 
friends without 
disturbing the 
downstairs rooms
