The walls were hung with a material resembling burlap in appearance, but of special construction and sound-proof. The ceiling was nine feet high. From a point six feet up the walls material like that in the walls stretched to a point in the middle of the ceiling. The room had somewhat the appearance of the interior of a small circus tent.
They brought up at last in the study they had started from. "Oh, but wait a moment!" Randolph said. "Here's two more rooms for you to see." The first one explained its purpose at a glance, with a desk and typewriter, and filing cabinets around the walls. "Rubber floor," Randolph pointed out, "felt ceiling; absolutely sound-proof. Here's where my stenographer sits all day, ready, like a fireman.
These four were filled with distrust of one another, but as they composed our male quartette, they would gather late on summer nights and conduct themselves in a manner to make me wish that old Azariah Prouse's peculiar belief as to house structure might have included a sound-proof fence about his premises.
But in the back-yard stood William, the coachman, sunning himself. That way was closed. "Into the study," whispered Miss Gardner, pointing at a door, "and watch your chance to get out!" In the same instant the heavy sound-proof mahogany door closed softly behind him leaving Miss Gardner in the middle of the room, with heightened color, breathing rapidly. Into the library swept Mrs.

So he gathered together all the blankets and rolled them into a sort of cone and to the small end of this he tied his telephone. Then he crept into this stuffy, breathless shelter, the ancestor of our sound-proof telephone booth, and for nearly three hours shouted to Mr.

Before the second match burned through he knew that this particular door was of some metal steel, most likely that it was set into a framework of similar metal, and that the room to which it afforded entrance was probably sound-proof. He struck a third match and a fourth.
They were full-fledged juniors, and they had to give up old Number 30, West Side, which they both loved, to incoming freshies. They drew Number 83 a lovely room, much larger than their old one and more sumptuously furnished. It had a double door, too, and the walls were almost sound-proof. "What a lovely room to study in!" cried Nancy.
Terra-cotta blocks are also much used in the flooring, and for this purpose have several advantages over other materials; they are absolutely fire-proof, they weigh less per cubic foot than any other kind of fire-proof flooring and they are almost sound-proof. They do equally well for flat and arched floors.
