HO USE & GARDEN 
Painted ivory white, 
with bottle green 
blinds at the upper 
windows, this 
house of hollow 
tile is an excellent 
example of blend¬ 
ed Spanish and 
Colonial influ¬ 
ences. The roof 
is of green tile 
Unusually generous is this plan in the 
number and dimensions of its closets. 
There is a large sleeping porch 
opening from the rear bedroom 
In the dining-room, a 
wall covering of 
dull silver Japan¬ 
ese grass cloth 
makes a splendid 
background for 
the rich old ma¬ 
hogany. The win¬ 
dow hangings are 
of soft blue corded 
silk, edged with 
silver gimp 
The fireplace in this 
living -room of 
consistently Colo¬ 
nial lines has a 
hearth and facing 
of tiles to harmon¬ 
ize with the velvet 
rug. Note the 
combination of an¬ 
tique and modern 
Colonial furniture 
In this plan the living-room and sun 
porch are isolated by a wide hall. As 
will be seen, the refrigerator is ac¬ 
cessible from the outside 
A novel feature of 
the sun porch is 
the strong black 
note introduced by 
the rugs. Rose, 
wistaria and green 
colorings in the 
grey borders are 
repeated in the 
chintz coverings 
used on the 
wicker furniture
