Some of the bedrooms had no connecting
baths, and these were given wash stands with bowls and pitchers of clear
glass. Most of these bedrooms were fitted with mahogany four post beds,
pie crust tables, colonial highboys, gay chintzes, and such, but there
were several rooms of entirely different scheme.

Perhaps the most fascinating of them all is the bird room. The walls
are covered with an Oriental paper patterned with marvelous blue and
green birds, birds of paradise and paroquets perched on flowering
branches. The black lacquer furniture was especially designed for the
room. The rug and the hangings are of jade green. I wonder how this
seems to read of--I can only say it is a very gay and happy room to live
in!
There is another bedroom in pink and white, which would be an adorable
room for a young girl. The bed is of my own design, a simple white
painted metal bed. There is a _chaise-longue_, upholstered in the pink
and white striped chintz of the room. The same chintz is used for window
hangings, bed spread, and so forth. There is a little spindle legged
table of mahogany, and another table at the head of the bed which
contains the reading light. There is also a little white stool, with a
cushion of the chintz, beside the bed. The dressing-table is so simple
that any girl might copy it--it is a chintz-hung box with a sheet of
plate glass on top, and a white framed mirror hung above it.
