With rare taste Mrs. Church has enhanced its historic charm, preserving the fine old wood panelling. and furnishing the house with genuine early American antiques of mellow beauty. Price- less old hunting and riding prints hang on the walls, and hooked rugs add gay spots of color. A charming contrast is Mrs. Joseph Leiter’s mansion in Washington’s exclusive Dupont Circle. Decorated in an age of extravagant taste it is filled with precious bibelots, brocade hung walls, satinwood panelling, and exquisite murals by Frangois Boucher. For each of these homes—so charming yet so widely differing—the choice was beds, springs, and mattresses by Simmons—the world’s fore- most manufacturer of bedroom equipment. 1 . @ 4 s EARLY AMERICAN GUEST ROOM in Mrs. Church’s Newport home, with the fine old panelled doors and mantel that date back to Revolutionary times when Lord Dudley occupied the house.
