which runs around the room;
but in the dining room the straight, massive
brick chimneypiece runs to the ceiling, thus
affording a pleasant variation in what other-
wise might be too even a balance in the ar-
rangement.    The most    decorative structural
feature in the hall is the staircase, which is
lighted by two casements set high above the
lower    landing and having  wide
sills, so that they afford an admir-
able place for plants.
   The hall  and  dining room  are
wainscoted and the wall spaces in
the   living room are divided into
panels   by broad  stiles of wood.
As the woodwork    is  so essential
in the   decorative plan, it should
                  be   selected with  great
                  care  and   finished in a
                  way to bring out all its
                  charm   of  color, texture
                  and grain.   The general
arrangement and style  of the  house would
seem to demand  some   strong fibred, richly
marked wood, which always seems best suited
to rooms intended for ceneral use.
  The  color scheme always is  a matter of
individual choice, hut a safe rule to follow is
to select some wood of rich and quiet coloring
                     for the woodwork, and
                     develop from that the
                     color of the wall spaces,
                     rugs and draperies.
