HOUSE & GARDEN 
A gallery is a lovesome spot. God wot! It has Romeo and 
Juliet possibilities. It dispenses with the dark hallway and 
gives a unique atmosphere to both upstairs and down. No 
doubt you have seen this gallery in many pictures of children, 
for it is in the home of Jessie Wilcox Smith, Chestnut Hill. Pa. 
At the farther end of this galleried hall is a fireplace that for 
line and garniture serves as an excellent example of what to 
put on a mantel shelf and what not. A Sevres vase and two 
candlesticks are sufficient, the lines of the mantel and the chim¬ 
ney breast being architecturally interesting just in themselves 
A third view 
of the home of 
Jessie Wilcox 
Smith shows a 
glimpse of the 
library. Built- 
in bookcases 
flank the fire¬ 
place. Below 
them are cup- 
boards for 
p o rtf o lio s. 
White w o o d- 
work through¬ 
out gives a 
sense of spa- 
cicmsness and 
bright sunlight
