MAKE THE GUEST WELCOME.
The one spare bedroom often leaves much to be desired in the way of comfort and convenience. A bookshelf is always appreciated bv the guest. Therefore its contents 'should not be the' sweepings of the family library. It should contain a few* novels and volumes' of essays and poetry. This shelf is only a tantalising object when its contents are, old catalogues, discarded .hymn-books, and perhaps some dull work "proeented by the author." In town, where it is possible to have a fixed basin with hot and cold water laid on, much space is saved by a shelf placed over the basin, to hold bottle, glass, and so on. A writing table is an additional comfort. The hinged flap of the space-saving table fastens to a wall when not in use.. Put a shelf above it, on which stand the pen-tray, ink and stationery cabinet, etc.
