This provides a towel cupboard below, with space on either side for a pitcher of hot and cold water.

Above this is a compartment wide enough to place a foot-tub. This compartment is made from practically a square box, with the two rear corners cut off at an angle of 45 degrees, and a circular opening made in the top the size of the wash-bowl. The foot-tub may be used for the morning bath, and also as a receptacle for waste water.

Washstand and Dresser.

The upper framework (or projecting legs) serves as a splasher and towel rack.

A white enameled oil-cloth is nailed over the top and hangs down over the front, covering the open compartment.

Construction

Make the legs 54 inches long. Remove both sides from the box. From the open side which is to be the front, measure 12 inches back on each end, and from these points cut off (at an angle of 45 degrees) the rear corners of the box. Make side pieces for the angle openings thus made and nail them in. The compartment will be open in front only. Cut a circular opening 9 inches in diameter in the top in the center of the width, the edge of the opening being about 3 inches from the front of the box. Nail on the legs, allowing them to project 26 1/2 inches below the bottom face of the box. Remove one side from the closet box. Turn the piece bottom up, resting on the top end of the legs, and set the closet box in place and nail it. Make the shelf the same shape as the body box and place on top of closet and nail the legs to its edges, and nail the shelf to the closet. Reverse the stand, turning it upon its legs. Cut and fit the top facing strips and nail them to the projecting leg tops. Fit and hang the door and screw on the pull-knob and the button. Cover the top of the stand with the enameled cloth and fit it around the opening as described for the Office Washstand, Illustration 39. In cutting the cloth, arrange to have it fall over the top in front and hang down about 11 inches, thus forming a flap curtain the full width between the front legs.
