THE: HOSTESS ENTERTAINS Photo by Ernest Harold Baynes 



"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 332). 



TAKING THE CAKE Photo by Touise Birt Baynes 



This photo 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.
