the fireplace sets the standard 
When you analyze why one room is 
more pleasing than another you find 
that very much depends upon its de¬ 
tails. This is especially true of the fire¬ 
place which is usually the focal point 
of the room. It sets the standard for 
the other details. Simple lines, delicate 
enrichment of mantel and hearth, a rest¬ 
ful balance of white paneled walls — 
these details give this fireplace its charm, 
and the room its meritorious character. 
It is in the residence of Miss Helen I.
