The Modern Small House. 
In many of the best modern small houses the 
architectural detail of the woodwork is simple and 
plain. Treated with the Penetrating Oil Stains 
made by Murphy Varnish Company, the grain of 
the wood shows beautifully. 
The quaint charm of such rooms depends 
largely upon the treatment of the standing wood¬ 
work. Therefore one must consider carefully 
when deciding this point. Murphy Varnish Com¬ 
pany makes stains showing light and dark brown, 
silver and dark gray, and dull soft green, as well 
as several shades of mahogany. These when 
finished with Nogloss Varnish or Transparent 
Wood Finish Interior satisfy every practical as 
well as every artistic requirement. Where built-in 
furniture is used it should be of the same wood 
•nd be given the same stain and finish as the 
standing woodwork of the room. 
Write for sample panels showing these finishes, 
and if you decide (as you will on seeing them) to 
become a customer of the Company, you are 
entitled to the full service of the Department of 
Decoration, which includes suggestions and sam¬ 
ples of wall covering and drapery materials, cuts 
of fixtures, furniture and rugs. The scheme sent 
you will be made up for your house and is not a 
stock scheme.

FOR THE BATHROOM 
Most everybody admits the super¬ 
iority of tiles for a bathroom, just as 
they admit the superiority of porcelain 
tubs and open plumbing. The fact 
that tiles are not always used is mostly 
due to a mistaken idea as to the cost. 
Our booklet, “Tile for the Bath¬ 
room,” will give you some valuable 
information on the subject. The im¬ 
portance of tiles, the kinds to use and 
the cost are all fully covered. Send for 
it, or rather send for all our tile books. 
The set is free. The others are: 
“Tiles on the Porch Floor” 
“Tiles for the Kitchen and Laundry” 
“Tiles for Fireplaces”
