Lafayette Journal. Miss Grace Tyner White, of West Lafayette, has returned from “Hazelden,” George Ade’s home near Brook, where she designed and superintended the work of redecorating the residence. The color scheme employed is calculated to display to the best advantage the rare antiques collected by Mr. Ade in his travels abroad. The entrance hall is hung in a paid of East Indian embroidered panels done in bright colors. The rooms adjoining are hanmondourily dome, the rich daak woodwork forming a splendid background for the high-keyed coloring. The living room is hung in 'hand-blocked linen. The cushions and upholstering give opportunity for an artistic display of orange and vermdllion'. The hall runner and hangers are in a soft Indian rose effect. The dining room is of an Italian greenish-blue with a chenille rug and silk hangings which. introduce begonia color in bold design. The fixtures throughout the house are unique. In the hall 1 and living rooms side-lights are made from Burmese incense burners, richly chased and inlaad and set with jade and Persian stones. The five upper rooms display individuality in decorative screrne, one having a gray Japanese wallpaper (background for Mr. Ade’s fine collection of Japanese and Chinese prints. The furniture is of Kaiser gray with the curtains and upholstering in gold. The guest rooms are canvas painted walls of beautiful color and with rich cushions and upholstering blending in color effect. “V ' Mir.
