Work for Winter EVENINGS.

During the long winter evenings we
shall have time to make many useful
and pretty articles for home decoration.
There are other homes beside our own
where some of our handiwork would
be appreciated. The Agriculturist
suggests number of very pretty arti-
Giles, among which are the following:
A Key-holder. Saw a kew out of
holly wood. Draw an enlarged pat
tern from an ordinary door key; make
it eight inches long, the rest in proper
ton; screw six brass hooks into it. to
hang Keys upon, etc.; bore the holes
carefully for the screw hooks, so as
not to split the wood. A ribbon at
tached to each end is tied in bow at
the top, by which to suspend it.
A Wall Bracket. "A bracket, mount
ed on a square board covered with
plush, makes very pretty wall decora-
ton. Let the board be one inch thick
and fourteen inches square, with bev-
elled edges; cover it with plush of any
desired color; draw the plush over tho
board smoothly, after layer of cotton
has been first laid on it, and tack 1t on
the back. If you have bracket that
will answer, you will not have to mako
one to put on it. Gid it and fasten it
securely to the board, Place a lar or
vase on it. with ivy or other vines in
it that will grow in water, or bouquet
OF flowers will be very effective against
the plush background.
Scrap Basket.-Make a triangular
pasteboard box, mounted on rustic
sticks. The sticks are thirty-three
inches long, and must have a coat OF
varnish. For the box cut three pieces
of pasteboard, each measuring nine
by nineteen inches, and a triangular
piece for the bottom, measuring nine
inches on each side. The box can be
covered with material of plain colo,
with flowers painted on the side OF
with Japanese pattern of cretonne oil
some odd design. Cover all the pieces
neatly on both sides and join them to.
gether. Cut grooves in the sticks, ali
tive inches from the bottom, then draw
a strong waxed cord, as near the colo,
of the wood as possible, through the
sides of the box, and tie it around the
sticks in the grooves. Fasten the tor
OF the box to the sticks by using the
cord in the same manner.
