Part of the si»iplicity 
and dignity of the 
living room to the 
right is due to the 
walls that are paneled 
in gray-brown wood 
with an antique fin¬ 
ish. The furniture is 
of a light walnut tone 
and the draperies 
blue. The couch is 
upholstered in blue 
and mauve velvet. The 
settee to the left is 
covered with a linen 
in blue and red of 
a Chinese design. 
Above the English 
stone mantel hangs an 
antique gold sunburst 
clock. The carpet is 
a deep taupe. Touches 
of color are given the 
room by an old Italian 
blue jar and pale yel¬ 
low lamp shades. H.

Quite a different type 
of living room is 
found in the residence 
of W. T. Brewster, 
Esq., at Hartsdale, 
New York. The room 
is built around a fire¬ 
place of brick laid 
with ends exposed in 
wide white bond. 
Above it runs a 
molded frieze. A re¬ 
markable painting has 
been let into the chim¬ 
ney breast. Plain case¬ 
ment windows with 
wide cushioned seats 
beneath fill the rest of 
the end of the room. 
The grouping of the 
furniture is informal 
and the entire treat¬ 
ment is one that sug¬ 
gests comfort and the 
ideal of home
