THE LIBRARY AND LIVING-ROOM IN ONE 
hangings in tones of 
gray, and has a pol¬ 
ished hard wood floor, 
partly covered with 
several small artistic 
rugs. 
The hallway opens 
at the right into the 
living-room or library, 
a spacious apartment, 
connecting at the front 
with the loggia, and at 
the rear w ith the larger 
veranda. It is fin¬ 
ished in white wood, 
with low paneled 
wainscot and wall 
hangings in tones of 
red, edged at the top 
with a deep wooden 
cornice. The floor 
is of polished oak, 
adorned with oriental 
rugs of warm, rich 
tones. An interesting 
feature of the room 
is the great open fire¬ 
place, built at one 
graceful winding one, 
rising in an elliptical 
well—a landing half 
way up coming 
directly over the en¬ 
trance doorway. The 
stairway is painted 
white, except the 
hand-rail, which is of 
mahogany. The 
stair hall is separated 
from the reception 
hall by handsome 
Ionic pillars having 
enriched volute capi¬ 
tals. 
The reception-hall 
is charmingly equip¬ 
ped with rare colo¬ 
nial furnishings, and 
opens at the rear on 
to the open veranda, 
with its pleasing out¬ 
look and dainty ap¬ 
pointments. Like 
the hallway and vesti¬ 
bule, this room is 
finished in white 
wood, with wall
