This room, aboveall others, must worthily reflect the personality of its occupant. Dayscrowded with household, business or social activities make the leisuretime spent here particularly precious. Relaxation is encouraged whenone realises that to send or receive a message means but to stretchout a hand. A bedroom telephone, perhaps housed in a cabinet thatserves also for a lamp stand, gives to such rooms the final touch thatmakes for complete comfort. And when one is alone and has retired early, there is an inexpressible sense of security in the realization that right at ones elbowis the means of summoning aid against marauding prowlers, fire, illnessor any other emergency. a- ^
