House & Garden 
That early American 
furnishing is well 
adapted to present 
conditions is proved 
by the home of J. 
Watson Webb, Shel¬ 
burne, Vt., where the 
atmosphere of old 
times has been cre¬ 
ated in a new house. 
The smoking-room 
walls are of wide 
pine boards stained 
brown and waxed 
.45 the living-room 
in the Webb house 
is quite large, the 
ceiling at the lower 
end is dropped and 
an open beam laid 
across, making a 
more intimate room 
and giving the far¬ 
ther fireplace an en¬ 
vironment of its 
own. The walls are 
paneled and painted 
old ivory
