Even the simplest of morning rooms 
should have a fireplace with the furni¬ 
ture grouped in the livable manner of 
the room above. The small chintz 
covered sofa and hooked rug contrast 
pleasingly with the plain curtains, solid 
color carpet and overstuffed chair 
For color contrast it is sometimes ad¬ 
visable to introduce a painted piece of 
furniture into a room. The graceful 
secretary below is soft greenish-blue, 
affording a charming contrast to the 
yellow-pink walls. The old chairs and 
tables in the room are made of walnut 
The walls of the little morning room 
shown in the sketch at the left are 
done in a flowered paper, the design 
copied from an old Chinese Chippen¬ 
dale pattern. Particularly effective 
against this cool, green background are 
the wall urns filled with trailing ivy 
The photograph below shows the bay 
window end of a morning room , a 
delightful spot to breakfast in. The 
curtains are deep greenish blue, the 
walls yellow-pink. Flowered chintz 
provides other color notes. Diane
