A LITTLE PORTFOLIO OF GOOD INTERIORS 
The Portfolio this month is devoted to a California house, the 
residence of Frederic L. Baxter, Esq., in Montecito. Not a 
little of the success of the living room above is due to the back¬ 
ground—creamy plaster u/alls which effectively silhouette the 
sturdy oak chairs and interesting torcheres of hand-wrought iron 
Two interesting features of the dining room are the hooded 
fireplace and the china cupboard. The inside of this cupboard 
is painted bright blue to match the door to the pantry and the 
doors are black with flower decorations, repeating the color 
scheme of the curtains. Soule, ^^urphy Hastings, architects
