TOWEL TREES INNOVATION
IN BATHROMM FITTINGS.
Towel trees are the latest innovation
In bathroom fittings and are hailed
with delight by the women whose bath
rooms are small and there seems to be
no practicable place for the regulation
towel rack. In appearance they re
semble a hat tree a little, but of course
are considerably lower and are made
altogether from brass. They have three
rounded brass legs, one round straight
rod In the center from which short
cross pieces resembling branches spread
out to hold the towels.
Another new towel receiver Is mnde
In the shape of an old-fashioned clothes
horse. It has a round wire shelf In the
center for clean linen, and above It
three horlxonlal bars over which many
doten towels can be hung.
In every respect, bathrooms are fit
ted In a simpler and more sanitary
way this season than ever before. And
because of the hygienic plan on which
they are built w 141 not only be less
difficult to keep clean, but require
practically no work except washing, for
the constant and tedious polishing that
has been necessary to cleanliness la
not needed now. Piping has been real
ly eliminated—that Is, any that Is ap
parent to spoil the contour of the walla,
for now It Is brought directly Into the
tubs, basins, etc., without all the colls,
joints and lengths of tubing that tfive
been essential before.
Then, too, the bath tubs and basins
are being built directly Into the walla
so that there Is no chance for dust to
gather back of or under them. Either
the Roman type of tub with a broad,
Hat base that rests on the floor, or the
French style, with wide feet, thst raises
It several Inches from the boards, ore
popular and attractive when cemented
Into the walls. If placed in a comer,
as many of them are now, they ran be
made a part of the wall on three sides,
or only on one side. If the sltupe of the
room 1s such os to make the other Im
practicable.
Like the tubs, basins are built Into
the walls at the back or In a corner
where both sides are made a part of
the tiling, etc. Made In this way. In
stead of having four or two legs, with
the piping showing beneath, there Is
one wide pedestal and aa the tubing
Joins the faucets directly In the bowl
none of It Is seen. Even the receptor
for the shower bath la built Into the
wall.
This new method of arrangement and
fitting makes a change In the position
of the faucets necessary. In the tubs
they are placed In the side cemented
into the wall, and come out directly In
the bath. Instead of on the rim, as was
the old style. And the waste water Is
carried off either from the center or
from one end.
The basins are naturally similarly
fitted, with the hot and cold water out
