For 
Country 
Estates 
Supplying the residences, 
barns, buildings, pools, fountains, 
and greenhouses on a country es¬ 
tate with water entails extensive 
plumbing, and requires the use of 
hundreds of valves. V a 1 v e s 
are a sizeable item and should be 
chosen with utmost considera¬ 
tion. 
The heavy, strong, and substantial 
valves made by Jenkins Bros, are widely 
used in country estate plumbing where 
it is the desire of the owner, architect, 
and plumbing contractor to make the 
plumbing the best in every way. 
Plumbing cannot function properly 
with cheaply made, light weight valves 
which become leaky with frequent use 
and require replacing. 
The initial cost of Jenkins Valves may 
be more than the light weight valve, but 
their absolute dependability and the sat¬ 
isfaction they give make genuine Jen¬ 
kins Valves the least expensive in 
service. 
Jenkins Valves are made in the va¬ 
rious sizes and types used in plumbing. 
Permit the architect to specify and the 
? lumbing contractor to install genuine 
enkins “Diamond Marked” Valves. 
We shall gladly send to 
you interesting booklets on 
plumbing and heating valves.

DECORATED WINDOW SHADES 
T O have shades both practical and 
artistic has always been more or 
less of a problem. Of late, we have 
tried doing away with them altogether, 
substituting layers of gauze, chiffon or 
silk for the roller shades of glazed cam¬ 
bric or linen. This method of shading 
a window, however, is not always satis¬ 
factory and is not adaptable to all 
rooms. Glazed chintz shades are charm¬ 
ing and effective but again cannot be 
used in certain interiors. If figured up¬ 
holstery or hangings are used, a definite 
pattern in a window shade is apt to con¬ 
flict with other designs in the room and 
detract from the harmony of the whole. 
On the bottom of this page is shown 
a new type of shade that can be made 
to harmonize with practically any 
scheme of decorating. An old-fashioned 
figured wall paper has been used with 
one of the motifs repeated, in the same 
colors, on the white cambric shade. 
The picture at the top of the page 
shows a window in a nursery and noth¬ 
ing could be more charming or appro¬ 
priate than the Mother Goose valance 
of cloth or heavy wall paper with one 
of the designs reproduced on the shade 
and window box. There are other de¬ 
signs for nurseries. Gnomes, fairies and 
elf folk are reproduced on these shades 
and, best of all, is a quaint theme from 
Alice in Wonderland. These designs are 
painted on the best quality white cam¬ 
bric and there are many possibilities for 
unusual effects. The shades can be 
furnished to harmonize with any type of 
wall paper, flowered, plain or striped, 
or the pattern may follow a motif in 
the chintz. If plain hangings are used, 
a decorated shade will lend interest. 
Window shades of fine quality white cambric are decorated 
to harmonize with any color scheme desired. Here the 
hand-painted design is taken from the wall paper. These 
shades are $8
