The Chicago apartment of 
Mrs. J. F. Jelke is an ex¬ 
cellent example of refine¬ 
ment in decoration. For 
background the dining room 
has putty color walls, the 
same tone being selected for 
the carpet. Draperies are 
of blue, green and tete-de- 
negre damask. \lth Cen¬ 
tury needlework covers the 
screen and serves for hang¬ 
ing. Fixtures are of dull 
gold and amethyst. Mrs.

It is always a problem to 
give the room leading di¬ 
rectly off the elevator dis¬ 
tinguishing character. In 
the Jelke apartment a Chi¬ 
nese scheme was chosen. 
The room is circular. Chi¬ 
nese paper panels are set in 
moldings of bronze and 
black; the ceiling is red and 
the walls and woodwork are 
glazed down to antique yel¬ 
low. Over the elevator door 
is a Chinese carving with old 
red silk curtains
