Tyler wondered how any one could ever find it alone. When the Red Cap left him, after showing him the wash rooms, the tubs for scrubbing clothes, the steam dryers, the bath-tubs, the lunch room, Tyler looked after him regretfully. Then he sped after him and touched him on the arm. "Listen. Could I would they do you mean I could clean up in there as much as I wanted? And wash my things?
This total absence of toilet appliances does not of course render impossible a special lavatory or bath-room in the house, or the daily importation to the bed-rooms of hot-water cans, twiggen bottles, bath-tubs, and basins from other portions of the house; but even that equipment would show a lack of adequate bathing facilities.
Being a little anxious to see what life in a really Christian factory would be like, I went in on a tour of investigation. There were several hundred employees in the factory, most of whom were young women. To my astonishment, I found bath-tubs in this factory, with an abundance of hot and cold water, linen towels, and toilet soap. Did one ever hear of such luxuries in a factory of any sort?
Undine had silently assisted at this spectacle, and at the sight of the old Marquise's abject acquiescence; she had seen the Duchesse de Dordogne and the Princesse Estradina go past her door to visit Hubert's premier and marvel at the American bath-tubs and the Annamite bric-a-brac; and she had been present, with her husband, at the banquet at which Hubert had revealed to the astonished Faubourg the prehistoric episodes depicted on his dining-room walls.
He had the arts and the books and the musicians and the silks and velvets, and the bath-tubs everything that made existence gorgeous all to himself.

Barton," she confided, "it seems as if I'd die a horrible death if I couldn't buy things the way other people do and send them somewhere even if it wasn't 'home'! The world is so full of beautiful things," she mused. "White enamel bath-tubs and Persian rugs and the most ingenious little egg-beaters and " "Eh?" stammered Barton.
The older girls help teach the little ones, and next year I'm to help. This Asylum is over ninety years old, but looks much older. There is just money enough to run it, and it hasn't had any paint or improvements in the memory of man, except the electric lights. The town put those in for safety, and don't charge for them. I wish the town would put in bath-tubs for the same reason.
Her hair's so nice an' black an' her teeth so white, I 'low the red would look best." Mrs. Wiggs gazed at her daughter with adoring eyes. "Ain't that the artis' stickin' out through her? Couldn't you tell she handles paints? Up at the fact'ry she's got a fine job, paints flowers an' wreaths on to bath-tubs. Yes, indeed, this here red one is what you must have.
Away went the completed roof of the modest cabin and down tumbled the sides. More post-holes were dug; more trenches excavated; more great oaks toppled over to be sliced into rafters, joists and uprights; more shingles two carloads; more brick; more plaster; more everything, including nails, locks, hinges, sash; bath-tubs two; lead pipe, basins, kitchen range and so the new bungalow was begun.
There are one, two or three-roomed cottages, tents, single and double, all in genuine camp style. There is no elegance or luxury, though most of the cottages have modern toilets, porcelain bath-tubs with running hot and cold water. Electric lights are everywhere.
