narrow panels of the trellis with a fireplace
between. On the opposite wall the middle panel is a background for a
delightful wall fountain. The fretwork of mirrors which takes the place
of frieze in the room is continued all around the four walls. One of the
walls is filled entirely with French doors of plate glass, beneath the
mirrored frieze; the other long wall has the broad, central panel cut
into two doors of plate glass, and stone benches placed against the two
trellised panels flanking the doors. The ceiling is divided into three
great panels of trellis, and from each of the three panels a lantern is
suspended.

In the Guinness house in New York there is a little hallway wainscoted
in white with a green trellis covering the wall space above. Against
this simple trellis--it is really a lattice--a number of plaster casts
are hung. In one corner an old marble bowl holds a grapevine, which has
been trained over the walls. The floor is of white tiles, with a narrow
Greek border of black and white. This decoration of a little hall might
be copied very easily.

The architects are building nowadays many houses that have a sun-room,
or conservatory, or breakfast room. The smallest cottage may have a
little breakfast room done in green and white lattice, with green
painted furniture and simple flower boxes. I have had furniture of the
most satisfactory designs made for my trellis rooms. Green painted wood
with cane insets seems most suitable for the small rooms, and the
marbles of the old trellised _Temples d'Amour_ may be replaced by cement
benches in our modern trellis pavillions.

There is so much of modern furniture that is refreshing in line and
color, and adapted to these sun-rooms. There is a desk made by Aitchen,
a notable furniture designer in London, which I have used in a sun-room.
The desk is painted white, and is decorated with heavy lines of dark
green. The drawer front and the doors of the little cupboard are filled
with cane. The knobs are of green. This desk would be nice in a white
writing-room in a summer cottage, though it was planned for a trellis
room. It could be used as a dressing table, with a bench or chair of
white, outlined in green, and a good mirror in white and green frame.
Another desk I have made is called a jardiniere table, and was designed
for Mrs. Ogden Armour's garden room at Lake Forest. The desk, or table,
is painted gray, with faint green decorations. At each end of the long
