oromost in making 
possib/o the a/I white 
bathroom 
T HE “all white” idea in 
sanitary equipment, as 
exemplified in the Madera- 
Silent Closet shown above, 
was made possible when the 
Thomas Maddock interests 
introduced the low-pattern, 
all-earthenware closet tank. 
In combination with the 
silent action feature which 
makes closet operation in¬ 
audible beyond bathroom 
walls, this construction un¬ 
questionably represents the 
highest ideals in beauty, re¬ 
finement and sanitation. 
Thomas Maddock plumbing fix¬ 
tures are used also in the Detroit 
Municipal Hospital Colony, 
Detroit, Mich., and in such well- 
known buildings as the home of 
The SaturdayEveningPost,Phila¬ 
delphia; Pennsylvania Hotel, New 
York City . 
Thus—with bathtub of pure 
white, solid porcelain; with 
walls and floors of tile; and 
with the closet, lavatory and 
other bathroom appoint¬ 
ments all made of glistening, 
pure white, almost unbreak¬ 
able vitreous china—the 
“all white” bathroom was 
achieved. 
Any one interested in equip¬ 
ping a new or an old home 
with fixtures of Thomas 
Maddock quality should 
write for “Bathroom Individ¬ 
uality.”

FOR THE SCRAPBOOK

E VERYONE who intends building 
should keep a scrapbook of houses 
and interiors. In that way you as¬ 
semble a great many suggestions for both 
the inside and the out and have before 
you the solution for many problems. 
The ten illustrations here may serve in 
that way. Each contains a number of 
suggestions and each shows an interest¬ 
ing application of an idea. 
The first illustration, for example, 
shows a method of curtaining a Palla¬ 
dian window. The window is recessed 
and the level of the wall marked by 
columns. Between these a curtain is 
hung, on a rod. No glass curtain is 
required. As the hangings are on pul¬ 
leys and cords, the curtains can be 
drawn at night or pulled closed when 
the sun is too strong. The reason for 
selecting such a simple hanging is that 
the window trim itself has enough deco¬ 
rative interest; to cover it too much 
would be covering a feature of the room. 
A corner fireplace, which comes next, 
shows an interesting wrought iron sup¬ 
port. The fireplace is built out into the 
room, giving a wide hearth, raised above 
the level of the floor. The simplicity of 
the lines makes such a treatment espe¬ 
cially suitable for a man’s study. 
From time to time House & Garden 
has advocated the elimination of the 
dining room in small houses where space 
is precious, and using an end of a large 
living room for dining purposes. The 
next illustration shows the interior of a
