when it is necessary to clean the top
shelf I do not like to climb on a step
ladder. This is planned for bed room

The highest shelf is IL inches from

tray-it is made of plywood or some
similar light wood with 1-inch band
Of wood all the way around it and a
handle on the front One compart-

of the finger-tip and guest towels.
These are not used every day, so they
are on the top shelf out of the daily

make arranging and putting away
easier. The doors on this section swing
up so that everything within is visible
at a glance.
The next layer is two shelves
deep, and this also has sliding trays
for piles of sheets, pillowcases and
towels. The doors to this section

wood, or wood with glass panel or

with the room in which it is used.
1t may easily be as beautiful as it is
utilitarian. I saw one not long ago
in a chintz-papered linen room. The
wood frame for the doors was painted

ground of the chintz, the panels of
the door were of mirror, with sprays
