One of the rooms, decorated 
in the Victorian taste, is rem¬ 
iniscent of “Peter Ibbetson.” 
The walls are covered with 
pale pink striped paper; base¬ 
board, molding and■ doors are 
painted black, the doors cov¬ 
ered with squares of glass 
(Below) The big studio has 
several centers of interest, the 
main being the fireplace 
grouping of couch and pre- 
dieu with stools and chest 
drawn up on either side of 
the hearth. Over the skylight 
are curtains of saffron chiffon 
(Below) The other center of 
interest is a music corner with 
piano over which is flung a 
cover of embroidered brocade. 
A bronze bird is perched on 
one edge. Light is given by 
a tall candle standard. An old 
mirror ■ breaks the wall space 
Continuing the description of 
the Victorian room, we find 
curtains of pale mauve taf¬ 
feta edged with a white bead 
fringe. Glass curtains arc 
white gauze with crystal glass 
drops back , of them. Crystal 
drops edge the molding
