• a hose having an inner end connected in the base to the water-supply means, an intermediate portion extending through the tubular spout, and an outer end, the hose being slidable in the spout between an extended position with the hose outer end spaced from the spout outer end and a retracted position with the hose outer end fitted with the spout inner end;
