Many an old house can be made more livable and many a new one insured
greater appreciation by adding one or two features here and there
that may perhaps not be necessities, but which will make the home
more beautiful, cheerful or convenient--make it more of a home. Such
things as a bay window, a dormer, a dining alcove, built-in tables,
radiator enclosures, hanging china closets, and medicine cabinets are
among these.
A bay window is a delightful addition to any room. It affords a view
up and down the street that an ordinary window does not allow, and
also takes advantage of sunlight and breezes from three directions.
A dormer may supply light and air for some unused space in the attic
and add interest to the roof lines.
Curtis radiator enclosures with iron grills solve a perplexing
problem in an attractive manner. A hanging china closet takes up no
floor space, and is more appropriate and decorative than a picture.

_A built-in table (shown in the two middle pictures) is the very
thing for the apartment kitchenette, because it affords a table for
dining and so leaves the regular living room table undisturbed. A
table such as this will also make an excellent supplementary work
place in the larger kitchen._]
