A LITTLE PORTFOLIO OF GOOD INTERIORS 
Two things are required of a reception room’s 
furnishing: formal elegance with which to meet 
the stranger and hospitable comfort to extend 
the friend. And it is possible to combine these 
two, as has been done in the New York resi¬ 
dence of Mrs. George W. Hill. The dominant 
color tone is a deep, rich plum—high pile rugs 
of plum and hanging and coverings of a lighter 
shade used with soft blue. These form a 
pleasant contrast for the paneled walls of an¬ 
tique ivory. The large pieces of furniture are 
in French walnut and decorated with panels of 
floral design. The smaller pieces, painted an¬ 
tique ivory have similar enrichments. The 
large space effect of paneling is repeated in the 
portrait. Barton, Price & Wilson, decorators
