Residence at Newton, Mass., Finished with Old Virginia White. 
J. Lovell Little, Architect, Boston. 
Cabot’s 66 Old Virginia White ” 
A Soft, Brilliant White for Shingles, Siding and Similar Woodwork. 
As Bright and Clean as New Whitewash and as Lasting as Paint. 
Architects and others have tried for years to get a paint that would give the same beautiful, 
brilliant white as new whitewash, and would also be durable and clean and not rub off like 
whitewash. But paint was always “painty” — hard, cold and heavy. Old Virginia White 
is a shingle-stain compound that has solved the problem. It is as clean, cool and brilliant as 
fresh whitewash and as lasting as paint, but it is not messy like whitewash nor painty like 
paint, although it costs less and goes farther than paint. 
Send for Sample Shingle and circular showing other fine houses furnished with Old Virginia White.

T HE dominant feature of the Gardens of Italy is the fountain. The 
music of bubbling water—the play of sunlight—and softened tints of 
stone against a setting of greenery, all combine to add charm and re¬ 
finement. 
Our fountains are perfectly modeled from famous Old World masterpieces. 
They are reproduced in Pompeian stone, a marble-like product that is practi¬ 
cally everlasting. 
We are always glad to furnish plans and estimates upon request. Our 
handsome catalogue illustrates our wide variety of large and small garden 
ornaments — fountains, balustrades, sundials, benches, tables, vases, statuary, 
flower urns and boxes. They may be used individually or in groups to meet 
any requirement. Your inquiry will receive prompt and courteous attention.

wide as two feet six, the sash occupy 
valuable space in the porch, and present 
besides so great an area to the wind that 
ordinary adjusters will often fail. If the 
sash are kept quite narrow they may be 
hinged together like old-fashioned shut¬ 
ters, and the mullions omitted, but this 
arrangement must have careful usage on 
account of the stress on the upper hinges. 
It is assumed that outside “whole” 
screens will be required, so no “swing- 
out” types of sash have been suggested. 
If no screens are desired, types (5) and 
(7) may be made to swing out instead 
of in, and (7) may be further varied by 
hanging the sash by the “accordion-door” 
method from overhead track.

Awnings may, of course, be attached 
to the outside of the main posts in the 
usual way. Curved forms, either in plan 
or elevation, greatly increase the diffi¬ 
culty of installing the inclosure,_ and 
should be avoided where economy is de¬ 
sired. The same objection applies to cor¬ 
ner brackets, strongly projecting post caps 
and similar features. 
A light in the porch will add to the 
comfort of its occupants, and if a light¬ 
ing circuit is available, a ceiling outlet, 
controlled by a conveniently located 
switch, may be provided. A wall outlet, 
equipped with cord and presselle, to ring 
a bell in the service quarters, will often 
be of use. Attempts at heating, on the 
other hand, are in conflict with the idea 
of the outdoor life.
