THE HOSTESS ENTERTAINS 



"Window boxes are a never-ceasing source of enjoyment. Mr. Ernest Harold Baynes 

 built tbe 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 



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.
