A LITTLE PORTFOLIO OF GOOD INTERIORS 
This month the Little Portfolio shows five views in the 
New York apartment of Mr. and Mrs. Edward A. 
Shewan. We begin with the long corridor. A tall mir¬ 
ror surmounts an 18 th Century commode with a door 
painted in a flower design. Opposite it hang two panels 
of Chinese wall paper of the Chien-Lung period divided 
by a painted mirror panel, giving great depth to the 
view. The floor covering is of deep terra cotta. Four 
portraits of the children of Charles 1 by William Dobson 
decorate the walls. The first of them is shown in 
this photograph, above the small griffin console. 
Karl Freund was the decorator of the apartment
