VANISHING TROUSERS.
A Simple Trick Which May or May
Not Be Humorous.

Not Be Humorous.
This Is n simple trick, and every mar
ricd woman can perform 1t. but 1t re-
euircs the assistance of II confederate
with big bag of shining tinware on
his back
First get Il husband with an extra
pnir of slightly worn trousers In his
wardrobe; then have the confederate,
the man with the bag of tinware, come
To the bacl1 door and knock gently.
The wife must then peep out III
frightened way. and Immediately the
man with the tinware tells IL tale that
resembles an advertisement. The wife
stops 10 think few minutes. Sudden
~ she must rush to the wardrobe, but
only after the man rnttles the brilliant
tInware 10 arouse her The wife must
walk back To the man again with the
trousers The man must take them
and hand the Wife few tin pans. All
the while the man with the tinware
must smile happily At last the trans
action Is completed, and, presto
change! the husbands trousers have
disappeared and in their plnce appears
some tinwnrc on the kitchen table.
This trick is very novel and Will
amuse the husband greatly. The trick
should not be performed while the
husband Is In bed unless he has an
extra pulr of trousers.-F. T.. PltZer In

three times as wide as it Is long. In
making the case you will be guided by
your own or the recipients usual re-
Quirements in the way Of knitting nee
dies, as one or two sizes may be pre-
ferred to the entire "set."
The lining should be Of wash leather.
Choose piece with a not too aggres-
sive yellow tint and not thin" in
places. Cut 1t to the size of the case
and allow half an inch over to be
pinked out and show over the edges.
Before fixing in, place moderately
wide piece Of leather down the center
piece and make as many trimmings
across it as will correspond with the
number of knitting needles the case is
destined to hold. If desired, the leather
lining need only meet the edges Of the
case, which may be bound with ribbon.
The case can be rolled up when not
in use and tied with a ribbon from the
outside. These cases can be adapted
for various uses by regulating the size
Of the center runnings, into which can
be slipped embroidery silks as well
as knitting needles, and such a case
lined with oil silk would make an ad-
mirable brush holder for student In
water color painting.

NUNS, tied prettily with long ribbon.
When the paste is thoroughly dry, an
edging Of heavy paper or tape to finish
the pieces at the top should be added.
At the bottom or about an inch from
the edge Of each two holes should be
made, one on either side, for through
these openings ribbons that tie the
pieces together are run. The ribbons
are made into pretty knots and help
decorate the holder. Through two
holes at the top of the large piece OF
cardboard a ribbon is fastened with
bowknots, so that the holder may be
attached to the wall or a desk-wher-
ever it will hang conveniently.
Quite as serviceable as the holder
and equally appropriate for man and
woman is a blotter for desk. 1t Is
made Of a square piece Of cardboard,
over which light blue or delicate
pink plotting pad is placed. This is
held down by four decorative corners
made Of cardboard covered with Grape
paper in pretty floral designs. These
corners are made like right angled tri-
angles to fit the square edges of the
bottom and are attached to the latter
by fine wires.

ENVELOPE HOLDER.

practical and artistic models can turn
out just as acceptable articles as those
made by experts.
In making paper gifts the amateur
must remember that. though the actual
work Is easy, consisting only Of cut
ting and FASTING, this must be care
fully done or the materials will be
spoiled and the labor wasted. For
this reason the simplest kind of models
should be decided upon as gifts to be
made in a hurry. for the easier they
are to fashion the less difficult the task
viii be.
II an envelope holder should be
chosen as a gift, the work on it would
require but short space Of time and
really no skill, for 1t can be made Of
three or four pieces Of cardboard cut
square, round or with the upper edge
In scallops. One Of these pieces-the
one that Is to form the back-should
be at least one-third wider than the
other two, while the second piece need
not be more than two inches deeper
than the last or third one. The width
Of all three must Of course be the
same.

there are bright colored flowers, such
