House & Garden 
The dining room in the 
Clyde Carr residence at 
Lake Forest, 111., is Tudor 
in character, this feeling 
being given by the oak 
paneling, which forms the 
background of the room, 
the hand-finished plaster 
ceiling in a traditional 
molded design, the crewel 
work hangings which are 
of the period, and the 
larger pieces of Tudor fur¬ 
niture. Such a room is 
commendable for its pro¬ 
portions and for the 
restraint with which the 
decorations are handled

It is often possible for the 
architectural beauty of a 
room to culminate in one 
detail. Thus, in the break¬ 
fast room of the home of 
Horace Havemeyer, at 
Islip, L. I., the walls of 
rough molded plaster are 
kept as a subdued back¬ 
ground for the fireplace 
mantel. This mantel is 
made of black slate. Its 
decorative panel is carved, 
with Chinese figures in low 
relief. A simple fluted de¬ 
sign has been used for the 
fireback
