W HAT gift could be a finer 
compliment to the intelli¬ 
gence of the recipient than a care¬ 
fully selected Globe-Wernicke 
Bookcase ? That it can be added 
to, a unit at a time, as the library 
grows will be keenly appreciated 
by one of literary taste. In many homes 
it is a pleasant Holiday custom to 
present a sufficient number of Globe- 
Wernicke Bookcase sections to accom¬ 
modate the new additions to the library. 
Globe-Wernicke Bookcases are made in 
several different styles, the finishes being 
carefully selected and applied to pro¬ 
duce those harmonizing colors in which 
the natural grain of the wood shows to 
the best advantage. Globe-Wernicke 
Bookcases are sold by 1500 authorized 
agencies. Where not represented, goods 
will be shipped on approval, freight 
prepaid.

An Adventure in Building. 
(Continued from page 366) 
The mantel in the vaulted hall is of Car¬ 
rara marble, beautifully carved, but only 
about half of the original is used; all su¬ 
perfluous members were left off. The 
mantel in the living-room was made of 
odds and ends. 
The vaulted hall and great hall are plas¬ 
tered with Caenstone cement and left in 
its natural color; the floor of the vaulted 
hall is paved with white and black marble 
tiles. 
The building is heated by hot water 
from two boilers coupled together so that 
one or both may be used separately or to¬ 
gether, and the west wing may be entirely 
shut off in winter if desired and the plumb¬ 
ing drained. The east wing is large 
enough for the family and one guest room 
extra so that the west wing need only be 
used in the event of having guests. 
The garden is not less interesting than 
the house, and is based on the old walls of 
the greenhouses. Here the same careful 
planning has been used, and there are sev¬ 
eral levels that have all the feeling of an 
old English estate. There is still the need 
of time to perfect it, for one cannot re¬ 
model plants. With a year or two of 
growth the garden will be worth describ¬ 
ing. 
Do You Help the Birds in Winter ? 
(Continued from page 362) 
ducks were starved and frozen to death 
on Martha's Vineyard, Mass., and else¬ 
where because of the fact that the feed¬ 
ing grounds of these birds were ice-bound. 
If enough corn and possibly other grains 
could have been administered at once in a 
systematic way the mortality would have 
been much reduced. Black ducks and 
others become wonderfully tame or bold 
in Portland (Me.) Harbor and the Boston 
Public Gardens in cold weather when they 
are glad to throw off their mantle of shy¬ 
ness in their eagerness to partake of the 
simple fare that is laid before them. 
It is not to be presumed that everyone 
can feed the winter birds on a large scale 
-—it would incur too much trouble and ex¬ 
pense—but all should be able to maintain 
some sort of feeding station, simple 
though it may be. If you have never tried 
it, by all means do so during the winter of 
1912-13, and toward the end of March 
when your feathered patrons become 
fewer as they return to their normal ways 
of feeding in the woodlands you will feel 
a pang when you realize that the death of 
winter will mark the close of the “three 
ring circus” that has performed near your 
window the past several months.
