CHS: III you DO you'd better buy one
of these glass pyramids for paper
weight. They are Of clear fine glass,
and cut after Il very pretty design.
And this little base bali inkstsnd is
very good for such a desk, for the ink
can't possibly spill even if the ball
does roll eff on the floor. 1t is of the
softest brown leather, only two inches
in diameter, and it opens by pressing
All invisible spring and discloses

pianos, and harps and violirs and &C.
cordeons were stamp boxes? But
they are, and very dainty receptacles
they prove. But ma, be you have to
be economical with your space, and if
that is the case those coordination
stamp boxes and inkstands would
probably be received by you with more
favor. The cover is painted with
graceful spray Of pink trailing arbutus,
over which hover enc tr two birds.

Paris, the home of dainty trilles.
But these pen~ipers are made of

old rose, dull blue and light yellow
with the edge scalloped. Then The
circle is folded, first into half, then
again into quarter, and at the top Of
the corner thus formed is silver clasp
Of chased silver and tiny silk tassel
suspended from it. In one corner are
thrt e silver neur-de-lis.
See this bee hive card case? The
top rolls in, like the rolling top desk,
and dis loses two compartme nts each
one just large enough for pack OF
cards, and if you were playing poker,
and held in your hand the five cards
painted on the outside OF this case,
YOU might safely wager ali you
possessed on il, for it couldn't be beat.
But what pretty little salt cellars
these are! Just pink shells that look
as if they had just been picked up
from,the shore, and here are some in

shells can be bought for dollar, OIL
