(Right) So long as the mantel is kept free 
from a cluster of non-essential decora¬ 
tions, the overmantel embellishment can be 
almost anything that suits. In the dining 
room of the residence of Mrs. D. C. 
Osborne in Boston an old tray has been 
used in the panel above the fireplace. It 
is flanked by tall candles. The walls are 
pale yellow with green and violet for other 
color notes. Lee Porter, decorator 
(Below) An interesting study in balanced 
furniture arrangement is found in the 
residence of Frederic C. Bartlett, Esq., in 
New York City. Each console bears a 
beautiful lustre and above it hangs a paint¬ 
ing in a dull gold frame. The consoles are 
gold and white. A grouping of this kind 
would be suitable for a large hallway or 
a reception room where space is sufficient 
for appreciative arrangements

(Below) In the living room of the Osborne residence the 
window trim has been accented by a broad band of 
antique gold. Walls are deep cream, curtains dark gray 
and gold, the rug catawba, blue and bronze. A Dutch 
altar candle has been made into a lamp for the table. A 
lamp of wrought iron introduces interest into the corner. 
The decorator was Lee Porter of James I. Wingate Son
