hehearth. The Tiled Dining Room The dining room offers opportunity for ap-propriate and effective use of tiles. Because ofits cleanly attractiveness, a tiled floor iseminently desirable in this room; the beautifulspotless tiled floors of Dutch, Flemish, French,and old English dining rooms testify to theappropriateness of this use and show us theway. Tiles fit into any period of interior detail,any principle of design; they appeal to theartistic sense, and their use in the dining roommarks this place as a unit of refinement andsatisfaction. The trim and paneling so readily designed intiles facilitate execution of any plan the ownerand decorator may intend for this essentiallycheerful room; with tiles, the discerning mayeasily work out delightful and harmoniouseffects. Whether the room is to show a formalor a homelike treatment, tiles properlyhave a place as floor, wall, and panelmaterial, and in these uses please andsatisfy on simple as on ceremonialoccasions. a a 3 a n c : r^ □ r^ a

77/e ASSOCIATED TILEMANUFACTURERS Tiles assist in making the diningroom fully serve its purpose—a cleanand cheery place to eat in peace. Tiling theVeranda Tiles abound in colors suitable for porchwork. The floor can be tiled to blend withdifferent fittings from season to season, con-tributing charm to each, or the tiled design canproperly stand out as the keynote of the porchensemble. The tiled porch brings outside a bit of thebeauty and charm of the house. Tiles resistindefinitely the effects of the elements, and inspite of the fiercest attacks retain their soft,warm colors and their material character. The tiled porch does not decay or disinte-grate. The durability of tiles insures good con-dition of the porch and keeps repair bills away. Tiling the porch gives it distinctivenessand is, besides, a positive economy.
