Pine was the mainstay 
wood of our forefathers, 
and it is still one of the 
best for many purposes. 
In this early American 
room it has been used 
effectively, even in the 
butterfly table and the 
wooden candle stand. The 
curtains are of thin mus¬ 
lin, giving an unobstructed 
view through the range of 
long windows. Executed

The dining room of Mrs. 
Joseph E. Higgins, at 
Bronxville, N. Y., has 
painted panelled walls in 
deep ivory, curtains of 
casement cloth, and ma¬ 
hogany furniture follow¬ 
ing Georgian precedent. 
The rug is a Chinese an¬ 
tique in ivory, gold and 
blue, harmonizing with 
the blue and gold striped 
damask chair seats and 
the blue and gold damask 
over-draperies. Hampton
