In the residence of Mrs. Oakleigh Thorne at Millbrook, N. Y.. is a Tudor 
room paneled in dark oak, that forms the architectural background for 
sturdy furniture of the same period. Above the paneling have been 
hung mounted heads. Wrought iron candelabra flank the fireplace. 
The chairs are deep and easy. It is a room of strong personality and 
definite historic affinities. The focal point of interest is the fireplace. 
It is of Caen stone xvith carved over-mantel above, the designs being 
consistent with the period of the room. An Oriental rug is on the floor
