ana cover them neatly with the wall
papers. They may be lined with plain
paper in the same or contrasting col
ors, with sateen. satin or silk, as the
fancy and purse dictate. They may be
tied with ribbons and be decked with
paper or silk flowers. or be plain
These boxes are designed to hold .
great variety Of things. candy. flowers,
ribbons, shirt waists, gloves. wells, etc.
The photograph panels are just as
pretty. They are made from paste
board cut the desired size. two pieces
to the panel. and a heart-shaped or
round aperture for the picture TO show
through. Cover each panel with pa
per, then paste the two panels togeth-
or, leaving a space for the picture to
be slipped through. The back panel,
of course, has no aperture. These are
to be made in sets of two or three and
fastened together with bows OF satin
ribbon.
Screens covered with Wallpaper and
fashioned to hold a dozen or more
photographs are another novelty in
this form of employment 1t is pref
ty idea to ill the spaces on screen
with the portraits of single actress
in her various roles, or he pictures of
all the actresses, who have interpreted
single role. Fer instance, portraits
of Sara Bernhard in her very many
different roles, or series OF all the Jul
lets and Candles.
For the Children.
The invalid can also make herself
favorite with the children by fashion
ing dainty scrap-booAs for them.
These books are very effective when
made of tinted paper muslin, held to-
gether with baby ribbon. The muslin
should be pinked about the edges 10
prevent fraying, and to give dainty
finish Make the books of two colors,
or two shades of one color For in
stance, a book with white leaves might
have pink or red cover. or yellow
loaved book with golden brown cover
would be effective.
A good plan is to have each scrap
book follow out detailed idea, rather
than have it conglomeration of pie
lures. One book may be called the
circus, or zoo. 1t should contain moth
ing but pictures Of ANIMALS, and verses
about them. Another book might con-
tain views, clipped from magazines,
OF different cities. anu a brief recital
of what they mean. Another book
might be devoted to flowers, and so on.
In fact, the variety becomes endless
when one starts to think of it.
Paper doll houses, made from big
blank scrap books, are a delightful
novelty. Cover each page, or each
two pages which face each other, with
wall paper, in a small pattern. About
half or two-thirds OF the way down the.
page draw horizontal line. This
marks where the floor begins and the
side walls end. Cover the space which
represents the floor with different coll
ored paper for a carpet. Now the room
is ready. to furnish. This is very
simple matter, for which the aid OF
furniture cut from magazines and fur
niture catalogues very dainty and ar
tistic paper doll homes can be fash
ioned
Then there are endless varieties of
dainty things to be made from crepe
paper, lace and ribbon. Christmas tree
trimmings, dinner favors and favors
for children's parties are always In de-
mand and easy to make. China paint
ing is a fascinating occupation IL the
patients nerves and eyesight permit,
and the collection of stamps and nnon-
ograms to paste upon picture frames
and china plates is already familiar 10
most Of us.
