president’s Home Reflects True Artistry In Interior Decoration Vn atmosphere of subdued blue, rose, and harmonized browns char acterizes the interior of Dr. Arnold Bennett Hall’s residence, which was thoroughly remodeled before the ex ecutive’s arrival two years ago. fueler the supervision of Mrs. Hall, who knows interior decorating thor oughly and practices it beautifully, •i miraculous effect lias been achieved. With soft lighting from thc n0rth windows, the paintings by Alfred H. Schroff, Oregon artist, and by an Indiana artist, take on a deep gold color with their autumn tints, and thc library is glorified. It is a place where one can rest and look, and never be tired of looking. The fireplace in this room is made unusual by a curiously wrought .pair of andirons that ohee belonged to gjr Walter Scott. Before them, the illustrious Scotchman wrote the famous ‘‘Marmion,” and their iden tity is established by sworn docu ment. Brass candleabra, or antique tables and desks fill in the angles of thc library, and thc soft brown of the davenport works in beautifully with the rose and blue of the oriental, rugs. Little oblongs, like the rug colors, appear here ami there as books in the low, filled eases. Even the hall is furnished in the same, comfortable style. Graceful old] tables, still more oriental rugs, and queer, butterfly candle-sticks fron Korea, make it different. The main living room looks ou' onto the northeast lawn, cateh'inj the bright light of morning, and th< softer light of afternoon. With in finite courtesy, Mrs. Hall takes tlu visitor in and out among the nook: of the place, cozy nooks, filled witl massive old furniture from Colonin days, hundreds of years ago. Here if a broad-based table, matching the general style; there is an antique tapestry covered chair, dating from an early French period. The onlooker is forced to marvel at the perfect condition of the fur niture, after its long ride from the University of Illinois. “It was packed by experts,” Mrs. Hall ex plained; “even oiled paper was put underneath the strings, removing all possibility of marring anything.” Going by measurements sent her, Mrs. Hall selected the hangings for her house before leaving Chicago. They arc long, neutral lined, and arc very colorful without a possible hint of being garish. Mrs. Hall’s dining-room is a work of art. • A Chinese embroidered cover gives color to the table, and above the massive, colonial buffet, is one of the most unusual pieces of Indian batik tlie campus has ever known. Another small panel of Chinese “applique” is so, unique in GRACEFUL LINES $5.85 For Graceful Dancing We have the slippers for the Thanksgiving dance. Also a com plete line of buckles.

Upstairs, the same quality of re finement runs through the house, the same furniture heirlooms. Four poster beds and Ileppelwhito chests give a traditional atmosphere, as in Colonial times, and here and there is a family picture. Dr. Griggs To Attend Language Meeting Dr. Earl L.
