There is a heavy round table which should stand by rights in the middle of the 'room, but which has been pushed on one side. On it an elaborate tea is laid out, There is an old-fashioned ottoman, and one or two heavy armchairs. The other chairs and the, sofa are covered with a rather startling Chintz, made, with frills and petticoats. There are embroidered chair backs and Liberty cushions. A heavy gil' clock and some massive vases are on, the chimney these are flanked by a quantity of'tiny china animals. On the walls are ornamental plush brackets, holding vases and figures, one or two staring portraits, and some engravings from popular pictures. A large Teddy bear on a chair. 'beside the fender is a life sized china cat. An imitation palm is on a side table, and a rubber plant in the window.
