The living rooms show every approved type of furniture from delicate Windsor to massive Elizabethian period, as well as many comfortable over-stuffed types made In Indianapolis. Accessories were not overlooked Attractive exhibits of framed paintings, frames and mirrors are shown. Dining rooms were complete even to the tea set on the serving tnMe, and as for tn kitchen—wtfh their shining white enameled tables and stoves that cook a meal while one Ib at the movie, and patent dish washers that wash the dishes with hardly uiore than a suggestion from the ‘‘lady of the house’’— become s* attractive a feature of the complete horns as are the living rooms.
