The House in Good Taste
·
Elsie De Wolfe
136
My
own
dressing-table
contains
many
drawers,
one
of
which
is
fitted
with
an
ink-well,
a
tray
for
pens
and
pencils,
and
a
sliding
shelf
on
which
I
write.
This
obviates
going
into
another
room
to
answer
hurried
notes
when
one
is
dressing.
Beside
the
dressing-table
stands
the
tall
hat-stand
for
the
hat
I
may
be
wearing
that
day.
When
the
maid
prepares
the
dress
that
is
to
be
worn,
she
puts
the
hat
that
goes
with
the
toilette
on
the
tall
single
stand.
Another
idea
is
the
little
hollow
table
on
casters
that
can
easily
be
slipped
under
the
dressing-table,
where
it
is
out
of
the
way.
All
the
little
ugly
things
that
make
one
lovely
can
be
kept
in
this
table,
which
can
have
a
lid
if
desired,
and
even
a
lock
and
key.
I
frequently
make
them
with
a
glass
bottom,
as
they
do
not
get
stained
or
soiled,
and
can
be
washed.
There
are
lots
of
little
dodges
that
spell
comfort
for
the
dressing-room
of
the
woman
who
wants
comfort
and
can
have
luxury.
There
is
the
hot-water
towel-rack,
which
is
connected
with
the
hot-water
system
of
the
house
and
which
heats
the
towels,
and
incidentally
the
dressing-room.
This
a
boon
if
you
like
a
hot
bath
sheet
after
a
cold
plunge
on
a
winter's
morning.
Another
modern
luxury
is
a
wall
cabinet
fitted
with
glass
shelves
for
one's
bottles
and
sponges
and
powders.
There
seems
to
be
no
end
to
the
little
luxuries
that
are
devised
for
the
woman
who
makes
a
proper
toilet.
Who
can
blame
her
for
loving
the
business
of
making
herself
attractive,
when
every
one
offers
her
encouragement?
