WHEN AN ARCHITECT 
Builds his own home he wants the best of everything. 
MR. ERNEST GUILBERT, City Architect of 
Newark, N. J., began right by making all his 
window casements swinging out. 
Then he equipped them with our famous “BULL¬ 
DOG” ADJUSTERS in solid Brass to last a life¬ 
time. Neat, strong and simple, and operated easily 
from INSIDE THE SCREEN with one hand. 
Our free booklet tells all about casements.

Furnishing and Decorating the 
Nursery 
(Contmued from page 227) 
summer rooms or to be carried outdoors. 
In spite of the fact that the little white 
bed is always associated with the child’s 
room in story and song, to say nothing of 
the popular imagination, there are various 
kinds of brass and wooden beds made in 
small sizes that are thoroughly in keeping 
with one’s idea of a typical nursery. The 
white enamel beds, which may be had as 
plain or as elaborate as one desires, are 
always dainty, and have the advantage of 
harmonizing perfectly with furniture and 
hangings of almost every description. 
Brass beds have the same characteristic, 
but they are much more expensive than 
those of iron, and seem to require rather 
more elaborate surroundings. The newest 
brass beds for children are quite low, only 
about half as high as the ordinary bed, 
which is a distinct advantage, as it is much 
easier for the child to climb into, and less 
dangerous in case he falls out. 
A recently designed wooden bed of at¬ 
tractive appearance shows severely plain 
lines in the head and foot boards, and in 
the sides long narrow panels are cut out, 
through which the covering of the box 
spring is seen. This bed is made only to 
order, and is intended for elaborately dec¬ 
orated rooms in which a definite color 
scheme is carried out. It may be had in 
any desired width and stained any color to 
match the other furniture, while the box 
spring and little pillow and mattress are 
covered with the same material as the dra¬ 
peries of the room. 
Furniture of a special size for children's 
rooms is made in a design that is substan¬ 
tial and handsome, by the manufacturer 
of a well-known and widely used type. 
There is a wardrobe just five feet high, 
with compartments for hats, clothing and 
shoes; a bureau twenty-nine inches high, 
with a twenty-inch mirror on it; a bed 
with high sides, the simple decorations of 
which match those of the bureau; rocking 
chairs and straight chairs with leather 
seats, a settle and tables of different sizes 
and shapes. Nothing could be more at¬ 
tractive or complete than a room furnished 
in this way for a child of six or seven 
years who has outgrown the daintier sur¬ 
roundings of the nursery. It has'all of the 
dignity of a well-appointed grown-up 
room, but with everything in proportion to 
the size of its owner. 
Even washstand sets, suitable as to shape 
and decoration, may be had for the child’s 
room in which no detail is to be omitted. 
They are little if any smaller than the 
usual sets, but the decorations are in keep¬ 
ing with those of the other appointments, 
and the pitchers are designed with a view 
to their being handled easily by small 
hands. They are not unlike milk jugs in 
shape, with a substantial handle over the 
top and another at the back, so that there 
is small chance of their slipping while in 
transit, and the mouth is a definitely
