out of card, cut out in the necessary
SECTIONS, each of which is bound with

together along the edges. In the
original of the illustration given here

not being used at all. The box should.

he lined with crepe paper, pasted on
without any folds or plaits, and the
outside should he covered with the
sanc paper before any of the orna-
mental work is begun. The four sides
should be decorated with Il crepe paper
scarf about ten inches wide. This should
be plated ut each end and taken across
each side of the box, diagonally or in a
vandyke. or, in short, in any pretty
style that may occur to the worker, the
ends being neatly finished off. Now
one of these four sections must be con-
sidcrcd as the front. and this is nearly
hidden beneath a monster rosettc
formed of crepe paper, with which the
box has been covered. Cut strips of
crepe paper about eight inches wide,
fold them in half lcngthwisc and gather
the two edges. Draw up the thread
and twist the strips so us to form the
roscttc. Sew or paste to the front OF
