THE EASTWARD-LOOKING BREAKFAST ROOM 
0/ all the rooms in the house the one that de¬ 
mands simple furnishings is the breakfast room. 
It requires few pieces of furniture, and those of 
a solid, seemly character. Its colors should be 
soft and interesting but unobtrusive. It should 
if possible, be an eastward-looking room to catch 
the morning sun. Such requisites are found in 
this breakfast room in the residence of C. E. 
Chambers, Esq., Riverdale, N. Y. A gate leg 
table, Welsh dresser and Lancashire chairs com¬ 
prise the furniture. The floor is of tile, heather 
brown with purple streaks. Walls are bluish gray 
and warm yellow rough plaster waxed to give an 
ivory overcast. Julius Gregory was the architect
