A CONVENIENT SHELF FOR MANY 
PURPOSES 
By IDA D. BENNETT 
RIGINALLY intended for a drawing 
convenience which would afford abun- 
dant elbow-room in a room where space 
was at a premium, the shelf was found 
adapted to so many purposes as to be avail- 
able in every part of the house. 
Placed between two windows in a bed- 
room, it formed, when properly draped, a 
most attractive toilet table. Given a four- 
inch border to match the woodwork in the 
room, and with the center covered Ne 
green felt, finished with furniture gimp, 1 
proved just the place for magazines—a cae 
manent place where they were out of the 
way and always easily available and in 
order. 
In the kitchen it furnished an extra table 
when needed and was dropped out of the 
way and 1 NCOs PUCEOUS when not in use.

it should be as long as the window casing 
and wide enough to come to the top of the 
baseboard, or even to the floor. It should 
be made of smooth lumber and should, if 
possible, be glued together rather than 
nailed to cleats; this gives a top surface 
which may be finished to match the wood-

the most out of material which is at hand.
