AN IRONING CUPBOARD.
Neat and Handy Bit Of Furniture for
the Kitchen.

The amateur carpenter should not
be satisfied with making only pretty
and ornamental things for her house.
There are innumerable articles of use
which will come well within the scope
OF her workmanship, and for provid-
ing the same she will receive grateful
thanks from the members of the
household.
Here, for instance, Is the sketch of
an ironing cupboard, wherein can be
slowed away all the requisites for
getting up fine linen and lace. In
small establishment, where means are
limited, it often falls to the lot Of one
member of the household to under
take the washing and pressing of
many small articles of apparel, which,
by reason of the delicacy of their
material, would soon go to pieces II
subjected to the somewhat rough
treatment accorded to the general
washing. Many women like to wash
their fragile pieces of old lace or en-
broideries themselves. and these often
require the application of a fiatiron
to give them smart appearance.
The little cupboard here shown
could very well find place In either
bedroom or bathroom. 1t is 80 mar
row-not more than nine inches deep
that it occupies no appreciable
space when placed against the wall
The door and molding can be bought
ready made, and then there is only
the body of the cupboard to be joined
together and fitted inside with divid-
ing plank and several small shelves.
These latter are intended for holding

The English Cabinet.

In England the cabinet is an extra
legal creation. Nominally 1t Is one of
the committees of the privy council,
whose functions are to advise the
sovereign, but this is simply surviv-
al OF mediaevalism. The cabinet is
under the sole control of the premier,
unhampered by royal or other inter-
ference; but-another survival-no
member of the cabinet may make pub
lie any matter discussed by the cabi-
net without the express sanction of
the sovereign; and when the premier
issues q summons to a cabinet coun-
Gil, which meets at irregular inter-
walls, according to the exigency of pub
nc business, the minister is request

listers, says A. Maurice Low, in Apple
tons, are human, and, although they
are seldom garrulous, they have been
known, even without the sovereign's
permission. to tell cabinet secrets.
Lord Melbourne was a delightful COS
siper, as everyone who has read Gre
ville's memoirs recalls.

Nos. $50 and 752 Park avenue, the
