Furnishing The Small Apartment We went to see them last night —they are living in a small apartment, but such an alto- gether charming place. Every- thing —rugs, draperies, furni- ture, pictures—seemed to have been carefully chosen with an eye to harmonious color scheme, as well as to everyday, practical use. As We Entered the Hall A console table of good length, over which hung a lovely mirror framed in mahogany—and a comiortable, tapestry- covered hall chair, made a most attractive group— Combination Mahogany Console Table, $35 Mahogany-Framed Console Mirror, $30 Tapestry-covered Hall Chair, $45 : Then Into the Cheerful Living Room —which, by the way, also serves as the dining room—and indeed, we might have been very comiortably provided for if we had stayed over-night, for they had a handsome davenport, that opened into a comfortable double bed. Four quaint Windsor chairs and a gate-leg table made a useful as well as decorative dining set—a spinet desk, with plenty of drawers, stood in one corner—and near the French window, which was curtained in that new sunfast colored marquisette, stood a comfortable Cox- well chair, with a smoking stand close by. It was a real living room—to be really lived in. Figured Velour-Covered Davenport, $185 Mahogany-finished Windsor Chairs, each, $18.50 Taupe Mohair-covered Coxwell Chair, $90 Combination Mahogany Spinet Desk, $75 Drop-leaf Gateleg Table, $40 Sun-fast Colored Curtain Marquisette, $1.25 yard The Bedroom Seemed to Carry You Back to a Lovely Old Colonial Home —with the old-fashioned poster bed with its button- turned posts; the high-boy which stood in stately dignity (and, by the way, offeréd a wealth of drawer space). On one side—opposite it, near the window—a low chest of drawers with a graceful dressing mirror hanging above it. A Martha Washingion sewing cabinet and a low, rush-bottom rocker suggested comfortable leisure hours for ever-necessary mending—and, to complete the old-fashioned picture, colorful rag rugs. Solid Mahogany Poster Bed, $85 . High-Boy, in combination Mahogany, $110 Low Chest of Drawers, $70 Mirror, for chest of drawers, $32.50 Martha Washington Sewing Cabinet, $19.75 Windsor Rocker, $17.50; Armchair, $30 Oval Braided Rag Rug, $6.75; others, $3.75 to $10.75 An up-to-the-modern-idea Kitchenette and a tiny but complete bath completed the apartment—and really it’s surprising to know how well and comfortably you can live in two rooms, kitchenette, reception hall and bath.
