HOUSE & GARDEN 
The hallway and bed¬ 
room shown below 
are from the home of 
E. W. Shields, Esq., 
at Kansas City, a 
house of Elizabethan 
lines in the restricted 
Country Club Dis¬ 
trict. The owner, an 
Englishman, wanted 
a house with English 
atmosphere, and this 
picture of the early 
English baronial hall 
with its Flemish tap¬ 
estries and appropri¬ 
ate furnishings at¬ 
tests to the success of 
the architect 
Among the bedrooms 
is one finished in pale 
greys and dull blue 
with lighter touches 
of flowered chintz in 
the hangings. The 
doors at the farther 
side lead to a sleep¬ 
ing porch 
To begin with, this 
was a small room in 
a New York apart¬ 
ment, and the owner 
wanted to create in 
it a sense of space. 
The walls tinted light 
and panelled with 
moulding, the few 
pieces of furniture 
well chosen and well 
arranged, the simple 
Colonial mantel and 
its fitting garniture, 
all contribute to the 
success of the room 
Personality is in 
every angle of this 
room. It belongs to 
a golf champion, a 
domesticated golf 
champion at that. 
Hence the cups and 
the general air of 
comfort. Note the 
chintz smoke valance 
over the mantel shelf 
and the couches by 
the fireside
