tical nature, she darted forward to ask him about old furniture, and what one is to do with it if we want to follow the new. Cannot old furniture easily be altered until it harmonizes with the modern style? She was set at ease by the affirmative answer she received. Old furniture stands high; so if you undertake to cut a few centimeters off its legs, it comes near the modern; but the essential change lies in color and in fabrics.
And while we were in the thick of this long and broad inquiry, a sudden idea settled upon us, which Layla voiced in all seriousness... the opening of a clinic for home decoration. Had a thunderbolt fallen in our midst, Camille Munsif could not have been more astounded than he was by this proposal!! He sat smiling, dumbfounded, while we showered him with explanations and directions concerning that clinic.
What say you, ladies, to a clinic like a doctor's — to which a lady would go to consult the official decorator on the fitness of a color she wishes to use with other colors in a certain room of the house?? Or on the measurements of a table she wants to set before a large chair, or on how to alter an old chair until it agrees with the rest of the furnishings — without engaging him to decorate her entire house — and, the examination over, the lady pays the price of the consultation and goes off easy in mind, carrying the decorator's prescription to apply at home!?!
At that point Edvick could
only promise us, speaking for Camille Munsif — who had not yet come back from his daze — that he stands ready to give us all
the needed guidance free of charge whenever we require it, even if he never does proceed to open such a clinic!!!
