Carlton, A Relic of the Past 
ONE OF THE BEDROOMS 
felt, above which tapestry paper of yellow, 
blue and green give a pleasing variety of 
colors. Next to this room is a delightful 
little den where comfortable lounging chairs, 
sewing and writing tables speak of the more 
intimate life of 
the family. 
On the second 
fl o o r the b e d- 
rooms are as large 
as the rooms be¬ 
low; here hand¬ 
some f o u r-p ost 
beds, bureaus, 
high-hoys, secre¬ 
taires, Martha 
Washington 
work-tables and 
roomy wardrobes 
are in evidence. 
Some of the pieces 
are rare speci¬ 
mens of Georgian 
furniture that 
would delight the lover of antiques, among 
these an old desk belonging once to William 
Penn, is a treasured possession. One of the 
rooms is furnished in maple, so mellowed with 
age that it glows with its rich golden color. 
Another bed¬ 
room contains 
some valuable 
Empire pieces 
which were enam¬ 
eled white many 
years ago; the 
lines of the furni¬ 
ture are so excel¬ 
lent it would seem 
more in keeping 
to have the wood 
uncovered. How¬ 
ever, the finish of 
the paint is so 
perfect, and so 
softened with age, 
that it is really 
beautiful in itself.
