Living room in the residence of William Lawrence Bottomley, Esq., Brookville, LI.

  The vivid greens and blues of the scenic wallpaper in this room call for strength and intensity in its color scheme in order to have its color values harmonize. Accordingly the curtains are a gay yellow chintz flowered in old pink, the furniture repeats the yellow note, and the Spanish rug done in squares with the signs of the zodiac, adds another touch of strong color and bold design.

The Keeper of the Gate - "INISFADA"

   Among the most picturesque features of the English countryside are the sturdy lodges that guard the entrance gates to the great estates.

Built to last down the ages, they are as permanent a part of the landscape as the lordly homes they guard or the trees themselves.

 

But the charming little gate lodge pictured here is not—although it might well be—in England.

 It is the gate keeper's lodge at "Inisfada", the country home of Nicholas F. Brady, Esq., at Roslyn, Long Island.
