A LITTLE PORTFOLIO OF GOOD INTERIORS 
M. E. Hewitt 
The photographs 
in the Portfolio 
this month are of 
the home of Mrs. 
Theodore A. 
II avemeyer at 
Brookville, Long 
Island. The pic¬ 
ture above shows 
a balanced ar¬ 
rangement of fur¬ 
niture at the fire¬ 
place end of a 
morning room. 
Although the walls 
are neutral in 
tone, bright chintz 
hangings and 
Chinese rugs pro¬ 
vide plenty of 
color. Schmitt 
Bros., decorators 
Where there is 
enough space a 
hall may be fur¬ 
nished as a small 
reception room 
with a comfort¬ 
able sofa, small 
tables, chairs and 
an occasional 
lamp. In this case 
plain, neutral 
toned walls make 
an excellent back¬ 
ground for deli¬ 
cate 18th Century 
English furniture, 
colorful flowered- 
chintz and taffeta 
and a decorative 
architectural 
painting that is 
very well placed
