A LITTLE PORTFOLIO OF GOOD INTERIORS 
Wherein are shown eight types of room, each filled with suggestions. If 
your problem is not met here, write to the Information Service, House 
& Garden, 19 West 44th Street, New York City 
It is almost an 
axiom that one 
should not clutter 
the sun room or 
porch. There 
should be the rest¬ 
ful simplicity of 
wide open spaces, 
unobstructed ave¬ 
nues of passage 
a n d ventilation, 
and an unbroken 
view. The porch 
and the sunroom 
stand miclway be¬ 
tween the house 
and the garden, 
and in summer 
should take on 
more of the char¬ 
acter of the latter. 
The sunroom to 
the right is in the 
residence of Frank 
Bailey. Esq., at 
Locust Talley. 
Long Island. H.

In the m selves 
books are almost 
sufficient decora¬ 
tion for any room. 
Their exposed 
bindings lend a 
variety of color 
and line that re¬ 
quires fairly sim¬ 
ple surroundings. 
Study the focal 
points of the room 
below — the (fire¬ 
place with its 
mirror ovprman- 
t el, and the 
shelves on either 
side sharing the 
interest of the 
room. Everything 
is subsidiary to 
them. The walls 
and woodwork are 
simplicity itself 
and the furniture 
is designed to give 
the maximum of 
comfort to the 
reader
