Draw the edges together neatly and
beat with a mallet. 1t will be fiat and

To Make Pretty Glass BOx-Get any
hardwareman to cut the glass for you,
any size you desire. Then take inch
wide ribbon, any color YOU like. Bind
each piece of glass around tapping and
fastening firmly at the ends When all
six pieces are bound fasten together at
the ends firmly. Then make pretty
bows of the ribbon for each corner, to
cover the connecting stitches. If you
can paint put a small spray of flowers
on the lid, and you have a pretty and
cheap box for handkerchiefs, gloves, etc.
