* Xi's house is the pride of many hearts. *

d is cut off from the rest of the house, having a separate entrance
ening into it.

As one enters the front door a spacious hall leads to the living room,
adjoining it is the dining room and two smaller wicker rooms, or

itor" rooms, as the girls have named them. The living room is twenty-
e by forty feet, so you can judge how large it is. Four long windows,

of which open into a patio, and the other two which face the terrace,
ord plenty of light. The color scheme of the room is carried out in
en and deep red. The rugs are a soft green; the drapes are of wine
our; the davenports of the same; while the lamps are a combination of
en, tan, and red. A highly decorative fireplace is one of the most
utiful features of the room. Looking up, a beamed ceiling of carved

in the natural coloring, meets the eye.

Two massive doors of carved wood lead into the dining room. Tables
deeply stained walnut give a dignified air to the room. The lighting
ect adds to the impressiveness, while flowered chintz drapes lend charm
his otherwise formal setting.

The bedrooms are uniform in their furnishings, green, lavender, and
ow being the predominant colors. A buying committee, composed of
member of the board, an alumna, a mother of one of the house girls,

two house girls, were in charge of selecting the furniture. A l l the
dern conveniences have been provided, including numerous showers,
aundry room, clothes chute, and an incinerator, not to mention the
pmg porches and abundant closet space.
