By Cable to The Star. LONDON, January 30 (N.ANA).— In her new house in St. Johns Wood, Mrs. Dudley Ward has adopted the de- vice of having walls of polished mirror glass in the reception rooms to give an illusion of size and to provide amusing reflections both of guests and the deco- rations. Both the dining and drawing rooms have a fourth wall of glass. The three other walls of the dining room are deco- rated with luminous ice-green paint and around the long table of black-and- white inlaid marble are ice-green bro- cade-covered chairs. The two wine cupbeards, shaped like crescent moons, with the tops of unpolished mahogany, are covered with long “strips” of glass and_support glass lusters with four candles each The drawing room walls are creamy white, exactly matching the glazed white chintz covers on the sofas and chairs with their pattern of honey- suckle. The window curtalns are apple- green velvet and there are rine lamps | in the room. The hall is white, with fittings of silvery stainless metal and a square white clock with metal hands. Mrs Ward’s bed room has “peaches and cream” walls, and a da ) ed ladies di spread and chair covers. (Cepyright, 1932, by the North American | Newspaber Alliance, Iuc.) | ARE YOU SURE YOU OWN IT?
