ess. A house becomes ahome when the bathroom is tiled. The Tiled Kitchen Woman s Preference To see a tiled kitchen is to covet it; to haveone is to appreciate fully its neatness andefficiency. Because tiled floors and walls are clean andeasy to keep clean, and because they are at-tractive in an unobtrusive and restful way,they are the proper thing for the kitchen, whereordinarily so much cleaning has to be doneevery day. A few minutes of attention cleanstiles and restores their proverbial newness. Tiling the kitchen contributes to the peace ofmind of the woman who has to be in it at leastpart of every day, and increases the sellingvalue of the property. The tiled kitchen is an attraction to servantsalso, of whom the desirable know the properthing and prefer employment where equip-ment is of the best. Tiled floor and walls do not have to bepainted, polished, rubbed, or oiled.The tiled kitchen is, therefore, soeconomical that not to have one meansa ivaste of work, of time, and of money.

The Tiled Laundry A Clean and Cheerful Workroom Tiling the laundry makes a different day ofwashday. The attractiveness of such a roommakes it easy to get started; makes for progress;makes it easy to clean up. Tiled surfaces carry into the laundry theirstandard virtues of durability, economy andcleanliness. Finished in tile, the laundry isalways in splendid condition, and this meansa great deal to all concerned. To come to workin a place that is always attractive, and spickand span as the day it was built, gives a stoutheart and a good start. It is astonishing what adifference a clean and attractive workroommakes. The importance of washday in theweekly routine makes the tiling of thelaundry desirable. One expects to findthe laundry already tiled in a newhouse, but tiling the laundry alsogives an old house new value, puts itin a new class.
