Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Merry-Go-Round
In America, where men are supposed to know nothing about matters of taste and where women have their dresses planned for them, the household decorator has become an important factor in domestic life. Out of an even hundred rich men how many can say that they have had anything to do with the selection or arrangement of the furnishings for their homes? In theatre programs these matters are regulated and due credit is given to the various firms who have supplied the myriad appeals to the eye; one knows who thought out the combinations of shoes, hats, and parasols, and one knows where each separate article was purchased. Why could not some similar plan of appreciation be followed in the houses of our very rich? Why not, for instance, a card in the hall something like the following:
This house was furnished and decorated according to the taste of Marcel of the Dilly-Billy Shop
or
We are living in the kind of house Miss Simone O'Kelly thought we should live in.
