A Pretty Hall Chest.

A pretty hall chest is one Of the things
that may be successfully produced at home
If you live in a seaport town, the chest of

As it need only be made of soft wood the
cost is not great. After il has left the
carpenters hands it may be decorated
with the applied ornamcntation in scroll
design, which is now obtainable ready to
put on, and aftcrward treated to a coat of
stain. Old oak is the most satisfactory

ed brass corners and hinges may be added
and a row of brass nails set around the
