NEAT WINDOW STORAGE BOX

Receptacle for Keeping Food That Will Be Found of Especial Value in Winter. The farmer’s wife or the housewife in city apartments will find an outside window box very useful in winter. A carpenter may be hired to do the work or the box may be “home made.” Construct a box that will exactly fit outside a kitchen window, if possible on the north side. The box should come half way up the lower sash and

contain two deep shelves, and when the sash is raised the contents of these shelves are easily accessible. In very cold weather the sksh may be left up, and thus the box becomes a part of the warmed room. A sash curtain will conceal it from the room. Another convenient way is to hang a neat wooden box, well cleaned, on strong nails or spikes outside the window. A heavier box should have a tight-fitting hinged lid and be lined '■vith asbestos poper to equalize exof temperature, while a lining of oilcloth will admit of easy cleaning/ A shoe box would be good for this purpose. It might be pointed the color of the house.

Handy Storage Box for Winter.
