here that many false movements may De

shelves.
In front Of this shelf Is a large window
which gives perfect light by which to work
without straining the eyes. All up and
down the sides OF this window small prass
hooks are fastened Into the woodwork. and
on each Of these hooks Is placed one uten-

A fine idea for pantry shelves is 10 use
two coats of white paint and then finish
ing coat of white enamel. Wash the shelves
with cold water as soon as the enamel
dries and then it will harden quickly. over
this place no oilcloth or papers. but leave
the shelves bare and notice the improve
