The House in Good Taste
·
Elsie De Wolfe
106
The
lighting-fixtures
are
of
wood
carved
in
the
Adam
manner
and
painted
dark
blue
and
gold.
The
writing-table
has
been
placed
squarely
in
front
of
the
center
window,
in
which
are
hung
Miss
Marbury's
bird
cages.
There
are
a
number
of
old
French
prints
on
the
wall.
The
whole
room
is
quieter
in
tone
than
my
room,
which
may
be
because
her
chosen
color
is
old-blue,
and
mine
rose-red.
In
a
small
house
where
only
one
woman's
tastes
have
to
be
considered,
a
small
downstairs
sitting-room
may
take
the
place
of
the
more
personal
boudoir,
but
where
there
are
a
number
of
people
in
the
household
a
room
connecting
with
the
bedroom
of
the
house
mistress
is
more
fortunate.
Here
she
can
be
as
independent
as
she
pleases
of
the
family
and
the
guests
who
come
and
go
through
the
other
living-rooms
of
the
house.
Here
she
can
have
her
counsels
with
her
children,
or
her
tradespeople,
or
her
employees,
without
the
distractions
of
chance
interruptions,
for
this
one
room
should
have
doors
that
open
and
close,
doors
that
are
not
to
be
approached
without
invitation.
The
room
may
be
as
austere
and
business-like
as
a
down-town
office,
or
it
may
be
a
nest
of
comfort
and
luxury
primarily
planned
for
relaxation,
but
it
must
be
so
placed
that
it
is
a
little
apart
from
the
noise
and
flurry
of
the
rest
of
the
house
or
it
has
no
real
reason-for-being.
