A LITTLE PORTFOLIO OF GOOD INTERIORS 
The possibilities of 
the city roof garden 
are shown in this 
view of the apart¬ 
ment of the deco¬ 
rator, Mrs. A. Van 
R. Barnewall, New 
York City. An iron 
grille with high gate 
stands between the 
living room and the 
porch to the garden. 
Trellis over stucco 
walls, wrought iron 
fixtures and painted 
porch furniture are 
used in this garden 
vestibule. Bey ond 
lies the garden with 
its flagged walks and 
stucco, brick- 
trimmed enclosing 
walls and an old 
stone fountain set 
back in an alcove 
A color scheme full 
of warmth and in¬ 
terest has been used 
in the dining room 
of the New York 
home of Mrs. A. 
Edward Ells. The 
furniture is painted 
maize color and up¬ 
holstered in dull blue 
velvet. A warm 
maize tone is used 
for the silk gauze 
under - curtains and 
blue damask for 
over- curtains. A 
painted screen in 
varying tones on a 
warm beige ground 
is an interesting note. 
At the window is a 
fish bowl on an iron 
stand hung with 
crystals. Mrs. Em- 
mot Buel, decorator
