GUIDING LIGHT of LOVE
Femininity is Jone's keynote, both on and off the

Nevertheless, Jone's husband, radio and TV producer Jack Mosman — and her home, which is a duplex apartment in New York — come first and foremost in Jone's "scheme of things entire." She loves to cook, admits, "I am a good cook. One of my specialties is veal birds a' la Rossini. And one of my prized possessions is a cookbook supposed to be translated from the prize recipes of Napoleon Bonaparte's chef. All of them begin," Jbne laughed, " 'Go out with bow and arrow and kill the stag,' or something. In other words, everything from the slaughter of the animal to its appearance on the dining table is included. I skip the slaughter," Jone laughed again, "and begin Operation Casserole, or whatever it may be, at the kitchen stove."
Jone has a passion for interior decorating, too. The home of a charming woman invariably, it is said, is a frame for her personality. Jone's is.
"Our living-room walls are the color," Jone said, "of the skin of an eggplant. For the tone of the draperies and the rug, we went into the inside of the eggplant— they are a pale, greeny, strange yellow. One large sofa is the color of the draperies.

"Our little dining room is done in wood papering, the color of weathered pine. Our bedroom is in green, with white-painted woodwork and 'features' our old, cherry four-poster bed, canopied, with a peach muslin spread which is a copy of the spread in the bedroom of George Washington's home in Mt, Vernon.
"A mixture of Early American and traditional English is the way you'd describe our home,. I think.
Or, better still, since we did it ourselves without benefit of interior decorator, a mixture of us! We have some lovely antiques, which should make me," Jone added, with a sigh, "a better duster, waxer, oiler; in a word, a better housewife than I am."
In the small amount of leisure time she has, Jone "haunts" auction rooms and antique shops. On her terrace is a fabulous old table, the top of which was, once upon a time, a church window.

Jone loves to combine the old and new: Note the table on their terrace, made from a dismantled church window — and the canopied four-poster with a coverlet copied from George Washington's home.
