Bathroom Vanities Then and Now: Tastes are Changing

Every good housewife likes to spend money on the bathroom.
A newly-wed housewife not long ago remarked, "I was given thirty dollars on my birthday, and I spent every cent of it on things for the bathroom".
Not a difficult task, one might venture, since good equipment is not the least priced of household commodities. However, well made bathroom vanities are a luxurious economy. Their upkeep is swallowed by the original cost. Really extravagant equipment is that which breaks, bends, rusts, scratches, or loses directly its first trim finish.
Many women, who do not feel in a position to outfit a bathroom completely in the best of the new white fixtures, buy one article at a time, collecting the entire set much as they have completed a dresser set of fine toilet articles. In this way the cost of this delightful paraphernalia does not fall heavily at any one time. Inexpensive articles, purchased at the Ten Cent store, are used temporarily and discarded as each new, thoroughly good piece is added to the whole.

Use the Best Fitments for your Bathroom Vanities.

The best white fitments now obtainable are made of high brass, white enameled with a dull finish. These are rust proof and practically chip proof. The tumblers, removable soap dishes, and glass shelves which accompany the fixtures are all of opaque white glass, and are very attractive. It is unnecessary to remind any housewife that it will not do to hang a damp towel or wash cloth on a steel hook, the enameled surface of which has been chipped. A brass base obviates this danger in the newest fitments and a series of thorough experiments has provided a smooth, enameled surface easily cleaned by soap and water and that "dean" of cleansers never found in package form — elbow grease. White fixtures are, or course, the most sanitary of bathroom furnishings, as every dot or spot of soil is self charted for removal. The articles selected for illustration are also the newest in design, the most improved, and the most popular of all white bathroom items.

Relationship Advice Tips For Talking

By: Michelle Spencer | 07/12/2009
It is all too easy in a discussion to raise other issues which are not part of what is being discussed. Often the new topic is related to the one being discussed, but is one which the person who changed the subject feels more strongly about, or feels that they have a better chance of arguing successfully.
