A Door Hinge Screen.

Some door hinges are things OF
beauty, and others are embodiments OF
ugliness, but it is not solely for the
purpose of hiding the latter that these
screens were originated. They are sup
posed to be Accomplishments to the door
chain, which is so often useful in sum
mer. when people wish to leave door
slightly ajar for the purpose of getting
fresh air. When door ,is slightly open,
there is often space at the hinges wide
enough to reveal the room within, and
it is to cover this space that the door
hinge screen is used. The Puritan IN

about makingtthese screens: A very
pretty one was made Of dresden ribbon
about eight inches wide. The top was
finished with huge bow, which, being
tackled at til" top of the door jamb, did
not interfere with the free motion Of
the door. Another screen was made Of
