Dining-i'ooms and bedrooms require only the 
essential pieces of furniture. An example of 
this is seen above, in the residence of C. L. 
Brokaw, Esq., at Glen Cove, L. 1. The walls 
are plain, interest being given by one or two 
French prints. The curtains are simple and 
dignified. The furniture is conducive to restful¬ 
ness and the lighting is so arranged as to give 
the maximum of service and effectiveness. 
Charles A. Platt, architect 
An unusual entrance hall has been created in 
the residence of Dwight Holbrook. Esq., at Hart¬ 
ford, Ct. The floor is of large flagstones laid 
irregularly in wide white bonds of cement. The 
woodwork is hand-adzed with white plaster 
panels between. Above are lights of leaded glass 
in small panes. An outside fireplace is built in 
one corner. R. F. Barker, architect

The beauty about wicker, willow and reed is that they combine so 
well with painted furniture and tvith mahogany and toalnut in in¬ 
formal rooms. The living-porch above, which is in the residence of 
George E. Ide, Esq., at Locust Valley. N. Y., >s informal in its green 
lattice frieze and ivoodwork laid directly against the white brick 
wall. Mahogany and reed in natural tone have been successfully 
mixed. The floor is of small red tiles with fur and Indian rugs thrown 
over it. The davenports by the fire are comfortable and well placed.
