House and Garden 
If possible I would like samples of 
wall-paper and curtains for the different 
rooms in accordance with your sugges¬ 
tions. Do not want any heavy curtains. 
I need scarcely add that I will feel greatly 
indebted to you and trust you will give 
the matter your earliest consideration. 
I I shall await your answer with much 
1 interest. I would wish above all things 
i to have the interior absolutely harmo¬ 
nious, and I favor soft tones. 
Am enclosing stamped envelope and 
also extra stamps for samples. Kindly 
give prices, names of manufacturers, 
etc. Library furniture, mahogany, 
music room, mahogany and Vernis 
Martin, dining-room, Flemish oak, two 
bedrooms curly birch, one mahogany. 
Oriental rugs on first floor. Will you 
please name a good floor dressing. The 
[ one I am using absorbs too much dirt. 
Answer: We take pleasure in render- 
; ingyou any assistance possible and advise 
j as follows. For the exterior of your 
: house in its beautiful setting of trees, we 
j would suggest cream white paint treat- 
I ing the shutters and shingles in a 
j rich shade of green. This will make 
jyour house appear larger and the fact 
I that there will be .no contrasting color 
I introduced for the trim, will greatly 
j enhance its appearance. Green and 
; white striped awnings may be at- 
itractively used in carrying out this 
. scheme. We are sending you by this 
[ mail a complete color scheme for the 
I interior. For the music room I send a 
\ paper in white with a suggestion of green, 
I the green to be carried out in the dra- 
'“peries. The mohair velour sample is 
: for upholstery should you require any 
j material for this. The hall in green, up- 
j holstery for window seat green velvet 
1 flecked with gold. The brown favrile pa- 
! per is for the library and the dining-room 
j should have the combination of paper for 
j upper third with lower wall of Japanese 
grass-cloth. The specifications will give 
[you full descriptions of rooms, ceiling 
j tints, draperies and prices of materials. 
For the kitchen in which you wish the 
j Dutch idea to prevail, I send a choice 
I of two papers. For the bedrooms I 
■ recommend a light and gay treat- 
i ment. The samples sent allow you 
a choice of color and design. For the 
bath-room the blue tile effect paper is to 
be used on the wall with the woodwork 
entirely of white enamel.
