The west end of the 
Linn living room shows 
a coiffeuse now used 
for writing table, a 
good example of the 
adaptation of an an¬ 
tique. The chairs are 
French painted antiques 
with petit-point seats. A 
deep smoke valance of 
lace is an unusual touch 
on the mantel. The 
corner couch with its 
reading lamp behind 
supplies the maximum 
of comfort. Books with 
old architectural prints 
hung above them com¬ 
plete the interest of this 
sensible grouping 
The other end oj the 
living room contains a 
more formal treatment; 
a console and mirror 
form the focal point, 
balancing the fireplace 
at the opposite end. 
The Directoire sofa is 
covered with blue and 
yellow striped silk. 
From the blue in this 
is taken the tone for 
the paint of the walls 
and woodwork. Valan¬ 
ces and over-drapes of 
a striped taffeta with 
sheer under-curtains. 
The furniture for the 
apartment was collected 
abroad by the owner
