AN ADAM ROOM IN AMERICA 
That a definite period style, when properly 
adapted to meet the modern requirements 
of comfort and utility, is suitable to a mod¬ 
ern American home is proven by this Adam 
reception room. The walls are taupe and 
cream with black introduced in narrow 
lines. Black also accents the mantel. The 
over-ma7itel mirror has a dull silver frame 
with a red medallion at top. Of the furni¬ 
ture, some pieces are. in walnut, some up¬ 
holstered in red and black. The fixtures 
are also characteristic of the period. The 
room is hi the home of Mr. Ormonde G. 
Smith, at Oyster Bay, N. Y. Hoppin & 
Koen were the architects of the room and 
Elsie de Wolfe, the decorator.
