place, however small, where may be
kept tho books. the clippings, the rec.
ords and bulletins OF interest to the
home and it's manager. The back hail
is good place where such a corner
and it's shelves and table could be ar

And yet seldom see homo where
such q corner Is made and used. have
homes. and it Is the exception to find
one which has definite place where
