The question to arrive at in the use of any piece of furniture is this—can it be lived with in 
that particxdar room? It should suit the room and the persons who occupy that room. The 
end of this Colonial livmg room is dominated by an old dresser. The other furniture is also of 
cottage or Colonial type and is in suitable taste. The over-curtains and crisp glass curtams, the 
broad window shelves for plants, the round-top cupboard, the steps into the hall, the open, 
restful spaces and the light-tinted walls make this the sort of room a great many people would 
like to live in. Peabody, Wilson & Brown, architects 
This type, which has often been use as a 
formal chair, is a 16th Century French chair 
and is pecidiarly unadaptable to modern usage. 
The seat, is 2 high, and it was designed ex¬ 
clusively as a temporary support for courtiers 
when wearing a dress sword 
At a glance one can tell that this library is 
lived in. The furniture is dignified atid yet 
comfortable. It has a seemly background of 
plain walls with relieving architecture features 
in the rounded doors, the platform, stairs and 
hand rail, the inset bookcases and the fine old 
mantel. A huge drum serves for woodbox.
