House and Garden 
the wainscoting, which appears where cases are not 
practical. The finish of the woodwork and furniture 
is chestnut, stained a quiet dull brown, with ceiling 
beams to match. Across the south end of the room, 
looking upon the terrace as in the dining-room, is the 
wide bay window with leaded glass, and on the north¬ 
ern end French casement windows, also with leaded 
glass, open on to the piazza. The furniture is in 
Mission style, the chairs being covered in green 
leather, the cushions in the window seat having a 
covering of more flexible material. Above the wains¬ 
coting the walls are covered with bright green silk 
felt paper, which makes a good background for some 
well-framed pictures. Tiffany lamps, brass candle¬ 
sticks, rare old vases and handsome writing table 
appointments in silver, give the finishing touches to 
this delightful room. A beautiful Oriental rug intro¬ 
duces several shades of old reds and greens appro¬ 
priate to the rest of the furnishings. 
I he upstairs rooms are as large and commodious 
as those below; that above the living-room is in blue, 
with Colonial mahogany furniture and white paint. 
A roomy sofa with dimity covering is placed in the 
bay window. A fireplace with a high backed window 
seat is on the west wall of the house. A heavy 
moulding, level with the top of the doors, is run 
around all the bedrooms, giving them a wonderfully 
restful appearance. Outside the blue bedroom is a 
closet with drawers, shelves and hanging room, 
lighted by electricity and withal so roomy it could 
serve as a dressing-room if desired. 
The other rooms are painted white and have par¬ 
ticularly pretty papers on the walls. Four large 
sleeping-rooms, a sewing-room, two bath-rooms and 
a wonderfully capacious linen-room add to the com¬ 
fort and completeness of this home, where we feel 
all has been carefully planned with a view to making 
use of space to the best advantage, and much atten¬ 
tion has been given to all the little details which go 
to make a home livable. 
The architect of this house was Mr. Horace Wells 
Sellers, of Philadelphia.
