per One Of the most attractive Of
these paper articles is a desk blotter.
The usual size for woman is eighteen
inches deep by fifteen wide. The mate
rails necessary are one piece of card
board Of the dimensions mentioned and
a second piece half an inch less In each
dimension. The pad Is covered with
Powered paper on the lower side and
has Powered paper corners. Plain
Grape paper is used to cover the top of
the pad.
The largest of the cardboard rectan-
giles is first covered with the lowered
edge to a considerable depth. at least
an inch and half being desira BILE it
edges are then pasted neatly down.
care being taken to make neat corners
The smaller cardboard rectangle is ~
cred with the plain Grape paper whit h..
for instance. may be yellow if a yellow
lowered paper is being used. Four
right angled triangles which are three
inches on the two even sides are then
cut from stiff and very heavy wrap
ping paper and covered on one side
with plain and on the other with flow
cred paper. These are the four corners.
When they are covered a margin of
paper is left on the equal sides. and
this is REINFORCED by a narrow strip Of
muslin This margin is turned over and
pasted to the upper side of the card
board, which is to form the bottom of
the pad. The upper part of the pad is
then laid on the lower part. and they
are pasted neatly together. The cor
ners, of course. go underneath the pad
corners. The pad corners are not past
ed down along their long side. as it Is
desirable to have them free so that
new blotters may be slipped In and out
at will.
A wall pocket Of paper may be made
which contains three pockets. For this
purpose the bordered Grape paper
which comes in rolls may be used, or
you may select paper napkins whose
borders are in the form of garlands.

which will not make the pocket too
long. The pocket must, of course, be
just as long as the motif of the design.
The materials needed are three pieces
of cardboard about nine inches long
The length, however, depends upon the
design Of the paper which is to be
used The cardboard is just the
length of the design. The three card
boards are of graduated depths. They
are straight on three sides, and on the
top they are cut in the shape Of tho
design Of the paper. Sometimes the
top line is straight and rounding, and
again it will have large scallops. A
design should not be chosen which has
too small a pattern.
All Of the cardboards are covered Oh
the outside with the bordered paper
and inside with plain Grape paper.
Perforatlons are made at equal dis
tances In the three pieces along the
bottom and sides. The perforations
along the bottom are close enough to-
gether to permit Of the sections of the
pocket being laced together. Only
three holes are necessary along the
sides. Ribbon the color of the flower
in the border is used to lace the sec
tons together and fastened at the ends

ed a suit case set, So many people use
the suit case, but have never been able
to overcome the difficulty of keeping
the shoes and brushes from rubbing up
against their clean linen. There are
three different articles in this set, all
of which are made of coarse linen.
The receptacle for shirts is in the shape
of large envelope, the edges bound
with braid, and should be large enough
to contain two shirts.
The bag for collars is made from the
same material. The bottom Is circular
and made from pasteboard A good
idea is to sew to this a strip of paste
board about two inches deep. These
should be covered with the linen be-
fore being fastened together. The up
per part of bag should be full and
gathered with a drawing string. This
protects the collars from crushing as
well as keeps them clean.
The third article in the set is plain
linen bag lined with oiled silk. This is
intended for sponges and protects the
contents of the suit case from the
