Is lined with siIesia or colored cotton.
The covering of the box is a matter of
hammer, tacks and dizziness In fitting
the corners. Around the inside an extra
lining is fastened at intervals by strips
of tape tackled closely against the sides,
forming n number of roomy pockets. A
deep knotted linen fringe is the finish
on the outside. The fringe can be
bought from 90 cents to $3.50 a yard.
This box can be used for sewing
materials and unfinished work, for
scraps. or for boots and slippers. In
England they are frequently used foI
bonnets. These are put in tho center,
the gloves, card case, handkerchiefs,
wells, etc, going into the pockets, which
are divided and subdivided to suit. The
top of the box can be left fat or may be
slightly padded, in which case it forms
an ottoman. In a parlor it can be
handsomely covered, and divided by
lengthwise partitions within for music,

this time the fellow made up his mind
