Window Seats Make for Comfort.

One of the details, of planning which should not be overlooked Is the matter of window seats, of which there can hardly be too many in a home. la every bay window where possible a window seat should be constructed, and so constructed as to be useful as well as ornamental; that it have covers in the top, neatly hinged and so arranged that they may be easily opened to permit using the space under the seat for the storage of things which it Is desired to have handy and for which there seems no other convenient place. Around the fireplace there is nothing more attractive and comfortablei looking than a nice built-in seat, and 1 cover, as the space beneath is very useful for storing the kindling w-ood and occasionally a few big .sticks aswell, when it is not convenient to use a wood box or basket beside the fireplace.
