A LITTLE PORTFOLIO OF GOOD INTERIORS 
Since there were brilliant emerald greens 
in the Chinese crepe hangings, varied tones 
in the chintz of the chair covering and 
vivid colors in the Chinese paintings in 
this room, it was advisable to paint the 
walls a pale beige tone of calm neutrality 
Both of the pictures on this page are views 
of the library in the New York home of Mrs. 
Randolph Ortman. The color scheme was 
taken from the Chinese porcelain bird on the 
mantelpiece—vivid green, purple, lavender 
and Chinese red. Miss Gheen, Inc., decorator
