As this room should be virile, use for it dark oak - Early English or dark brown stain - or mahogany furniture if employed elsewhere as well. At the door there will be the hanging of mulberry; to accompany this let the chair seats be the good strong block of mulberry shown in Plate 55. A rug of deep blue will go here, and champagne lamp-shade.

PLATE 55. STRIPED AND FLOWERED BLOCK-PRINTED LINENS, 50 INCHES WIDE.

With grounds of Medium Blue, Slate Grey, and Mulberry Rose with vari-colored stripes and flowers.

Pattern shown here one-third actual size.

This room will be as man-like as the woman's room is refined, yet they will harmonise each with the other.

A boy's room should have similar strong characteristics.
