A clever arrangement of 
furniture and striking use of 
color characterize this attic 
bedroom. Gray walls and 
putty colored woodwork lined 
in blue and yellow make a 
pleasing background for the 
furniture painted black, cop¬ 
per and mauve. The cur¬ 
tains are magenta satin 
over pale mauve marquisette 
Above an old maple table 
made by the Shakers hang 
quaint colored prints of the 
first sixteen presidents of the 
United States. Rush seated 
chairs of pine and maple, 
old lighting fixtures and un¬ 
usually beautiful hooked rugs 
carry out the atmosphere of 
the period. It is in the coun¬ 
try home of Henry W. Howe
