THE HOME.
CONCERNING THE BATH. The built-in bath looks effective. The build'ng-in is a simple job, although a tradesman may charge as much as £5 to bui d in with bricks cr concrete and then treat the surface to match 'he existing scheme. If this is decided upon, however, a good suggestion is to fit a cupboard into the recess between the bath and the ft wall. Lines of pipes and wastes mar a carefully-planned scheme and can be hidden by cupboards. Curtains must be resistant to heat and moisture and the merits of oil silk cannot be overlooked. It is made in all manner of colours and is not expensive. In fact, with its aid, it is a simple matter to plan the colour scheme of the bathroom. One attractive bathroom I saw recently had walls of the palest blue, with a deep blue rubber floor covering, and the curtains in silver oil silk having a band of deep blue stitched across about 4in. from the hem.
