Both Air and Light
In Room Increased
By Bays Addition

One of the easiest methods Of
securing more light and air in a
room Is to add a bay. This Is
not an expensive operation, but
it calls for architectural skill.
Not only should a bay enhance
the beauty of the exterior, but It
should perform its major task
that of affording more light and
air. A bay can often transform
a room. If it faces the garden
side of the house 1t makes a
lovely Summer retreat. And II 1t
is bethed in sun some time every
day in the year 1t affords a nook
and corner of beauty for all the
family.
When possible 1t is wise to
have the bay large enough so one
can place in it a couple of cozy
chairs and a table, as well as a
lamp and magazine rack. Often
its ceiling Is lower than the CELL
ing Of the room of which it forms
a part. This adds to its charm.
