A LITTLE PORTFOLIO of GOOD INTERIORS 
In every good interior there are dozens of suggestions. 1 he aim of this portfolio is not to inditce readers to 
duplicate the rooms shown but to gather suggestions from them to apply in their own homes. I he reader also 
has at her command the expert advice of the Information Service, 19 West 44 th St., A ew York City. 
The walls of the 
breakfast room to the 
right are gray stucco. 
Over this has been 
placed lattice painted 
a warm gray. The 
furniture is painted 
the same shade with 
color relief in medal¬ 
lions. The base of the 
room — the floor — is 
gray marble and the 
lighting fixture is of 
polished wrought iron 
with blue and green 
rubbed in. Hand- 
painted shades have 
been used and the cur¬ 
tains are of a plain 
fabric with decorative 
valances. The archi¬ 
tect was Paid R. Al¬ 
len and the decora¬ 
tors, W. & J. Sloane

The living room below 
is in a summer resi¬ 
dence. For that rea¬ 
son it contains but 
few ornaments. Every¬ 
thing there has a pur¬ 
pose. The walls, 
which have an un¬ 
usual paneling, and 
the bookcases and 
cornice are glazed in 
green. Mulberry and 
green form the color 
scheme—green velvet 
sofa and curtains; 
deep taupe rug. The 
framework of the 
two cabinets is blue 
and the panels black 
with a Chinese de¬ 
sign. Old lamps have 
been used with salmon 
colored shades. Mrs.
