The House in Good Taste
·
Elsie De Wolfe
182
There
are
traveling
clocks
in
small
leather
cases
which
can
be
bought
very
cheaply
indeed
now,
and
one
of
these
clocks
should
be
a
part
of
everyone's
traveling
equipment.
The
humble
nickeled
watch
with
a
leather
case
is
infinitely
better
than
the
pretentious
clocks,
monstrosities
of
marble
and
brass
and
bad
taste.
A
CORNER
FOR
WRITING.
One
of
my
greatest
pleasures,
when
I
am
planning
the
furnishing
of
a
house,
is
the
selection
and
equipment
of
the
necessary
writing-tables.
Every
room
in
every
house
has
its
own
suggestion
for
an
original
treatment,
and
I
enjoy
working
out
a
plan
for
a
writing-corner
that
will
offer
maximum
of
convenience,
and
beauty
and
charm,
for
in
these
busy
days
we
need
all
these
qualities
for
the
inspiration
of
a
pleasant
note.
You
see,
I
believe
in
proper
writing-tables,
just
as
I
believe
in
proper
chairs.
I
have
so
many
desks
in
my
own
house
that
are
in
constant
use,
perhaps
I
can
give
you
my
theory
best
by
recording
my
actual
practice
of
it.
I
have
spoken
of
the
necessity
of
a
desk
in
the
hallway,
and
indeed,
I
have
said
much
of
desks
in
other
rooms,
but
I
have
still
to
emphasize
my
belief
in
the
importance
of
the
equipment
of
desks.
