Over the brick mantlepiece hangs a 
weathered brass lantern , dating back 
to Revolutionary days. The ship 
model, clock and old warming pan 
are among the decorative accessories 
and darkened by time. One came from 
the house of Miles Standish. a worthy 
companion of the pewter platter boasting 
a Revolutionary bullet hole which stands 
on the mantel in the dining room. 
This is the gayest possible little 
room with walls done in a decora¬ 
tive paper, faintly Chinese in feeling, 
a vivid yellow sprinkled all over with 
A reproduction of an old gray scenic 
paper has been used with unusually 
good effect in the little living room. It 
makes a charming background for 
the maple and mahogany furniture 
This little recessed window nook has 
amusing benches upholstered in Bur¬ 
gundy colored glazed chintz. Ruffled 
muslin curtains frame the win¬ 
dow and its shelf of colorful Hass 
blue and rose butterflies. The furniture 
and woodwork are painted black and 
lined in yellow. Soft white muslin cur¬ 
tains edged with little fluted ruffles, 
colorful hooked rugs and an old woven 
blue and white table cover, echo the 
color of the old china and lustre ranged 
in shining row’s on the shelves of the 
mellov r -toned Welsh dresser. 
Hangings of Burgundy glazed chintz 
with a design of big pink roses are 
especially effective against the gray 
walls and woodwork. Grover Cleve¬
