BURKE’S HOME 
Occupied by Miss Florenz 
Patricia Ziegfeld 
To make window seats, the 
toy boxes are built in below 
the trim. These are cush¬ 
ioned in a blue and cream 
cretonne 
The bed, once mahogany, is 
now painted white with pink 
and blue decorations to match 
the general color scheme of 
the room 
The NURSERY at BILLIE 
I N Billie Burke’s home at Hastings-on-Hud- 
son there has been created a most delectable 
nursery for her small daughter, ]\Iiss Florenz 
Patricia Ziegfeld. It is a pink room—pink of 
a baby’s cheeks—and has the soft tones that 
go with babyhood. The decorator was Mrs. 
Coit MacLean. 
The walls that give background to the room 
are a delicate shell pink. For curtains there is 
used a gauze of the same pink—it has a silvery 
sheen—trimmed with a ruffle of blue taffeta. 
On the window seats and chair cushions is used 
a simple little IdIuc and cream colored cretonne. 
The bed, which is quite the cutest thing 
imaginable, is an old one and originally 
boasted of being mahogany. A coat of white 
paint changed it, and it has been decorated 
with a design of many delicate colors to blend 
exactly with the color scheme of the room. 
A simple Colonial design mantel is on one 
side. Before it stands a fire-screen of needle¬ 
point tapestry mounted in a frame finished in 
dull gold and silver. It is a copy of a screen 
on exhibit at the Cooper Museum. 
The little shields on the side lights have 
the same color scheme as the curtains—pink 
trimmed with blue—and the wall brackets are 
a deep cream with rose and blue flowers. 
Such is the nursery and playroom of Miss 
Florenz Patricia Ziegfeld—a sort of dream 
place that also fitSj if we might presume to 
say so, her mother. 
White furniture against cream walls, 
pink gauze curtains trimmed with blue 
taffeta and a needlepoint fire screen — 
what a luxurious nursery!
