Bookcases.

In a rented house one hesitates to
be at the expense of building in book
shelves. to be left in the house when
one goes. Sectional book shelves or
bookcas ses. which one can take away,
seem more satisfactory. The sectional
bookcases have certainly come to stay.
No method SO good of keeping books
safe from damp and dust with such
convenient possibilities in wood, style,
size and height has yet been devised.
AS they are furnished in units, that
is. single shelves which may be added
one to another. as need arises. until
a large case is secured, they meet
the needs of the expanding library
and are altogether neat, convenient
and suitabl to any purpose Sec
tional bookcases should be bought to
accord in wood and style with the
other furniture in the room or may
be chosen especially to match the
woodwork.
Many people think that books
should not be covered with glass. but
should stand on open shelves. 1t
is a matter of personal preference,
but certainly valuable books should
be protected. and dust very soon
renders good binding dull and
shabby.
If one does not like the sectional
bookcases one has still wide range
of selection. the chief points to be
considered being simplicity Of line,
suitability Of wood and the depth of
the shelves. A great many book
cases are absurdly deep and offer a
real puzzle to the unfortunate pos
SCISSOR. She may push the books for
ward to the edge of the shelf where
they can at least present an even
front, but are very likely to cause the
case to pitch forward at the least
indiscreet jar from behind or even
from the side, or she may push them
back to the full depth of the shelf
to secure the proper balance of the
case, but leave a wide space In front
to catch the dust. while the books
themselves look rather lost.
