The coloring oj the 
room was suggested by 
the colors in the parrot 
panel over the mantel, 
which is embroidered in 
different shades of 
mauve, red and green. 
The English chintz has 
a design of red and 
mauve flowers on a 
black and tan ground. 
This, together with the 
mantel, which is an old 
one, as well as the steel 
grate, give the room an 
air of distinction. A 
Chinese rug before the 
fireplace recalls the va¬ 
rious colorings in the 
room. Miss G h e e n,

A BEDROOM in the RESIDENCE of RICHARD F. HOWE, Esq. 
JERICHO, LONG ISLAND 
Another view of the 
same bedroom shows 
the interesting use of 
several colors in the 
furniture, all of which 
have been most happily 
chosen. The bed and 
the bureau are in green 
lacquer, while the chif¬ 
fonier is in scarlet lac¬ 
quer. The small dress¬ 
ing-table is an old ma¬ 
hogany piece bearing a 
triple mirror. All of 
these are well grouped 
against a background of 
cream paneled walls. 
The curtains are a dark, 
sheer fabric with a 
heavy fringe at the 
bottom
