They bring fresh perspectives to old problems, and they are worth heeding. Here are two totally different rooms in Manhattan which illustrate the point. The bed-sitting room here, designed by Noel Jeffrey, has noble and classic proportions.

It is 17 feet by 24 feet, has 1212- foot ceilings, and is in a Stan. ford White-designed house' overlooking Central Park on Fifth Avenue. It is designed for a woman. It is formal in concept, with a color palette that combines peach, biscuit beige, eggshell white, and dusty rose all highlighted with metallic glints of brass. Mr.

Jeffrey gave the double bed a central placement in the room to allow unhampered traffic circulation around it, and to orient both the bed and the con- versation cluster at its foot to the fireplace as well as to the view of the park below. i 1.7 1 I I olOk' .104 11.0,4;.
