white and grey greens and reds. The shade

but lined with a grey green to harmonize with 
the tone of the living-room. 
While many of thesefcriticisms may seem 
severe, it is not because the fixtures are poor, 
but because they are so nearly perfect that it 
seems a pity that they should not have been 
pushed to that end. Originality is almost as 
rare as the roc’s egg, but here we have a whole 
nestful of ideas developed almost to the flying 
point; in fact, some are even ready for that. 
We are indebted to Messrs. Coolidge & 
Carlson, Architects, of Boston, for the use of 
the photographs from which our illustra¬ 
tions are taken.
