THE HOSTESS ENTERTAINS 
_ “Window boxes are a never-ceasing source of enjoyment. Mr. Ernest Harold Baynes 
built the first I ever saw, at his home in Meriden, N. H., a particularly attractive one, which 
has helped him to become intimate with an astonishing variety of birds” (see page 169). 
TAKING THE CAKE Photograph by Louise Birt Baynes 
This photograph shows how responsive birds are to a little attention and how tame they 
may become. This wild chickadee will enter the house, perch upon his favorite delicacy, and 
enjoy a meal, in no way affrighted by the presence of his human entertainers.
