Built-in seat* occupy opposite sides with book shelves at hand. Small windows and a mantel breast complete the group. It is not only the decorative possibilities which are considered, but also the comfort and conveniences of persons who dispose themselves in this nook. It presents an opportunity for a complete change of habit in com- parison with the rest of the rooms. Another place that can be enlarged on to advantage is the stair land- ing. If it has a balcony effect, as in the design shown, so much the better. It should also be widened to make room for a piece of furniture. It is scenic in effect. It invites one to linger; makes a variety in a house. The design for an archwaj presents a good vista. More than that, the nook-like seats are inviting. A shelf overhead makes deep jambs possible. This secures a strong substantial piece of work. The pockets of the doors are the same as usual. The manner of finishing the jambs is m the classic style. At the same tinu the detail does not have to be a mechanical copy, as is often the case. It will be noticed that the columns are a little different than usual. In wood work there is no need for a capital that was designed to support a stone wall. The stiff flutings of a marble shaft do not need to be copied in woodwork, where a multitude of graceful details can be cut with ease. There is no reason for making separate pieces for shaft and capital. The wood does not split sidewise. The grain runs up and down and is wholly unsuited to a band around the neck. The shelf over the opening makes a good soffet, the seat a good base. They are structural features as well as useful for furniture.
