There are nine and forty ways of using 
window bays, and here is one of them -—- 
to build a broad shelf around the win¬ 
dows. It may be used for plants in 
winter. A corner might be given over 
to writing. One caution, though; such 
a shelf should not be cluttered with 
meaningless odds and ends. Both its 
usefulness and decorative value depend 
on its restful, clear spaces. Henry G.
