Creating a Sense of Space in a Small Room 
(Continued from page 64) 
The chiffonier with the circular 
caned panel may seem like a large 
piece of furniture for the little room 
in which it is placed, but, as a mat¬ 
ter of fact, this chamber is devoted 
entirely to the use of a man, and the 
chiffonier which occupies so large a 
part of it is certainly the chief es¬ 
sential to his comfort. There are a 
small desk and chair which are not 
seen, and an inlaid mahogany bed¬ 
stead which has a linen coverlet. 
One sees the feminine hand, how¬ 
ever, in the selection of fancy net 
curtains instead of the plain ones 
which masculine instinct might have 
been trusted to provide. 
Completely feminine, on the other 
hand, though dignified and spacious, 
is the other bedroom in peasant 
painted furniture. Here again green 
prevails in coverings and wood alike, 
with just a suggestion of other colors 
in the soft colored print over the 
mantel, which latter has some Ruskin 
pottery upon it; and the painted flow¬ 
er panels. This room is approxi¬ 
mately 9 x 13. 
The unfortunate prominence given 
by certain photographs to some fea¬ 
tures of a room, not at all conspicu¬ 
ous in themselves, is illustrated by 
the dining-room with Hepplewhite 
furniture, in which the figure of the 
blue and gold Chinese rug stands out 
so plainly, and the center chandelier, 
which is not all that might be de¬ 
sired, can be seen first of all things in 
the room. An interesting feature is 
that not the slightest gold appears in 
this chamber, for the chandelier, the 
mirror and all the hardware are of 
silver, like the candlesticks and the 
.service. The French draped window 
shade is of soft mulberry, the curtains 
and chairs, blue. 
The foyer presented a problem 
completely coped with by the client 
herself. The selected furniture was 
not so small as to be undignified and 
yet not massive and cold. The charm¬ 
ing many-colored tapestry of the 
chair and sofa she combined with 
velvet pillows and foot stool, and 
velvet and casement cloth curtains. 
The effect is all that any decorator 
could demand. 
Last of all one comes to the mod¬ 
ern boudoir furnished with pieces 
designed here in America, but sug¬ 
gesting the Secessionist movement 
abroad. The fabric is a black and 
tan striped velvet, the rug on the floor 
blue, the strange legs of the furni¬ 
ture are in black, and the usually 
plain surfaces have a scalloped effect 
in cream, while the vaguely seen pan¬ 
els of blue blackground are painted 
with rose-colored flowers. The tea 
set and many of the pillows are in 
rose. Everything is small, including 
the room, and there is plenty of room 
for everything. 
the plant is in a dormant state. 
Borers also become troublesome at 
times, particularly with neglected 
plants. Cut out the canes that are 
troubled and destroy them. Rust and 
anthracnose will sometimes appear, 
but yield to Bordeaux spraying; pick 
badly dis- 
large English varieties which are as 
big as plums and just as delicious. In 
England the gooseberry is a very 
highly prized fruit, and the interest 
has been so keen that numerous vari¬ 
eties have been introduced here in 
America. These large, fuzzy sorts of 
English ori¬ 
gin are a 
very fine 
fruit in their 
raw state, 
and we 
should en¬ 
courage the 
growing of 
them. 
The secret 
of growing 
gooseberries 
successfully 
eased leaves. 
Perfection 
is the best 
currant to 
date; it is a 
wonde r f u 1 
producer of 
exceptional - 
1y heavy 
clusters of 
large red 
fruit. Cherry 
and Fay’s 
Prolific are 
also good 
red varieties. 
White Grape 
is the best 
white fruit¬ 
ed type, very 
mild and less 
piquant than 
the red vari¬ 
eties. Black 
Naples is the 
best black 
sort, but its 
fruit is little 
used except 
for unex¬ 
celled jam. 
The 
Neglected 
Gooseberry 
is to prune 
the plant so 
it will be 
open at the 
top. This is 
done by re¬ 
moving en- 
t i r e shoots 
right at the 
ground line. 
Take off 
several 
every sea¬ 
son, and try 
to keep the 
plant open 
so that air 
and light 
may circu¬ 
late freely. 
Do not tip 
back, and 
bear in mind 
that a few 
shoots pro¬ 
ducing high 
quality fruit 
are far bet¬ 
ter than an
