sing just as she and a mutual friend were turning in at her walk. So we were introduced. Maybe we did hint once or twice, but any way, we got a chance to go through a perfectly charming new house.
The dining room adjoining is dif ferent, and yet harmonious. Here the same soft blue carpet is used, but the walls are white with the same white organdy curtains as are used in the living room. The chair seats are pale yellow leather, and raspber- ry red accents are repeated in five fine pieces of lovely red porcelain above the sideboard and in the lin ings of two corner cupboards.
The master bedroom in the new little house has yellow walls, white rugs, white dotted swiss curtains and spreads, two small easy chairs in blue and white plaid slip covers.
The guest room has light grey walls and a light grey rug, furniture of modern design and in a light grey finish.
