full They may clutter the room up
a bit, as some housekeepers think
they do, but az least they don't clut-
ter < go much as do shoes and slip

as shirt-waist boxes in the corners.
Some of these boxes are covered with
straw mating, and are not very ex
pensiye A more expensive variety
is made OF cedar wood. Some are
made TO slide on an iron framework
that is attached to the under side of
the bed. and perhaps this is the neat
est kind. However, those on wheels
move about so easily that there is no
excuse for dust under them.
Akin TO these boxes are all sorts
OF chests. Some are made in the
form of window seats and are finished
in dull brown stain. Others are the
straw-coyered boxes in a different
shape, sometimes with little side
arms, so that they can be fitted out
with a couple of soft cushions and
so take their place as comfortable
seats under the window.
These boxes may be used for shoe
boxes. boxes for blOuses and negl
gees, hats and frocks.
Then, too, if you want to, you can
have window seats built in by the
clever carpenter. They can be left
rough-fnished, and covered with
chintz cushions, or else they can be
enameled or stained or painted. and
fitted SIMPLY with cushions On top.
