up to a wainscot of walnut, above which is a 
foliage paper shellaced. The curtains are Eng¬ 
lish linen figured in old rose and purple on grey. 
Shades, greyish brown with lines of green and 
gold. Furniture is painted green and gold and up¬ 
holstered pieces in linen and pale purple taffeta

The plan is divided by a house-length hall ex¬ 
tending from this entrance to the rear portico 
shown opposite. A stair window, repeating in 
its pilasters the general character of the door 
below, lights the hall. A remarkable fact about 
the house is that it is the creation of two years' 
work, its apparent age having been acquired by 
transplanting the trees and covering the walls 
with quick-growing Japanese ivy
