This picture had for name, "Faith," and was bordered with a red plush mat and a frame of imitation beaten brass.
A door hung with chenille portieres--a bargain at two dollars and a half--admitted one to the bedroom.

The bedroom could boast a carpet, three-ply ingrain, the design being bunches of red and green flowers in yellow baskets on a white ground.

The wall-paper was admirable--hundreds and hundreds of tiny Japanese mandarins, all identically alike, helping hundreds of almond-eyed ladies into hundreds of impossible junks, while hundreds of bamboo palms overshadowed the pair, and hundreds of long-legged storks trailed contemptuously away from the scene.

This room was prolific in pictures.
