Buy Good Shingles Already Stained 
VOU save money, time and worry and the bother and muss 
I of staining on the job. We select Washington Red Cedar 
Shingles (no poor or wedge-shaped shingles), preserve them 
with creosote and stain them with colors made of finest earth 
pigments—no aniline dyes. Shingles are thoroughly dried, 
bundled and stamped.

They last twice as long as brush-coated, painted or nat¬ 
ural wood; cost less and look better than any stained-on-the- 
job shingles you ever saw. 
Many old houses are remodeled to look like new by using 
CREO-DIPT Shingles on side walls and roof. CREO-DIPT 
Shingles with their soft-color tones insure artistic effects that 
all good architects appreciate.

the ceiling, is old ivory in tone, and the 
lower portion is dull blue. The chief rug 
is of similar blue, with a darker border; 
the smaller rugs of grass in the natural 
color being of Indian workmanship. The 
woodwork and the furniture are of oak, 
stained dark brown. The advantage of a 
couch-bed is evident, as, appropriately cov¬ 
ered, this type of bed by day gives no sug¬ 
gestion of its nightly utilization for sleep¬ 
ing. While there has been an adherence 
in the equipment to a definite color-scheme, 
that coloring is sufficiently restrained to 
create a good background for the gay In¬ 
dian blankets and other warm-hued acces- 
stories which appear. 
In still another room the walls and ceil¬ 
ing are painted a faint grayish yellow, with 
which the use of terra cotta in hangings, 
covers and cushions is entirely successful. 
The woodwork is of chestnut, stained 
warm brown and waxed. To accord with 
the woodwork, the heavier pieces of oak 
furniture are stained brown. The com¬ 
fortable hour-glass chairs are, however, 
left in their natural color. For the win¬ 
dow hangings a terra cotta Japanese crepe, 
printed in black, is used; and, for the 
couch-bed cover, tapestry with terra cotta 
predominating is employed. Although this 
room contains many purely ornamental ar¬ 
ticles, there is in their arrangement none 
of that crowding which so often mars the 
appearance of a young man’s room. 
Built-in furniture is always valuable in 
imparting to any room an air of perma¬ 
nence ; and, for that reason, in addition to 
its space-saving qualities, it is being used 
with increasing frequency. Nevertheless, 
it is rarely that a desk is built in. 
Example is as far-reaching in its effects 
as the stone, which, upon being cast into 
the water, causes a countless succession of 
circling ripples. Possibly, therefore, the 
rooms illustrated in these pages may prove 
sufficiently interesting to become an incen¬ 
tive to creative or restorative work in some 
young men’s rooms the decorative possi¬ 
bilities of which have never been appre¬ 
ciated.

side piazza. The garden is not extensive 
enough to permit of a very intricate scheme 
of arrangement, but room has been found 
in a sunny corner for a charming little bed 
of Shirley poppies. A warm note of color, 
to offset the flat white of the house, has 
been introduced by placing a vivid scarlet 
geranium in one of the lower windows. 
Not far distant, separated only by an iris- 
fringed walk and a few shrubs, stands the 
compact little barn. 
By far the quaintest house in the whole 
outfit is the tiny farmer’s cottage, with 
hollyhocks and old-fashioned roses behind 
the pailings which fence in its smallest of
