He produced a scheme for a formal Queen Anne drawing room. When I tried to explain my objections by saying that I couldn't Imagine a mother keeping her sew ing basket there, ho raised horri fied eyebrows. 'My dear lady,' he exclaimed, 'surely you don't mean I that you think a living room Is the place for a work basket. ' ' "I dbl, ami I do. "After nil, a living room should encourage each innmhcr of the family to use it, and in accom plishing this tho beauty, for which we all long, need not be sacrificed. Hero's how tho comfort of seven persons of varying uges and tastes can be provided for in u. living room. "It is not a period room.

"Tho chairs solected for such a mom must have particular merit. Kach one has u personality of its own. Thero is no mistaking fath er's generous wing chair; mother's Is smaller und on the otlier side of the table. The chaise longuo cozily placed by tho fireplace goes to grandmother, or Aunt Jane.
