dt can easily be made out of any card
board or wooden box of suitable
size, from which the lid and one side
has been removed. The box should be
smoothly covered with silk or brocade,
and lined with silk or satin in some
contrasting color. The bottom should
be thickly padded, so that it may
serve as pincushion, and the outer
edges should be bordered with thick
silk cord. The useful pockets round
the sides are made of wide satin rib
bon or silk, as preferred, gathered at
the top, and run through with an elias
tic, so that they may serve to hold
small pieces of work, lace, scissors,
tapes, etc. A small ribbon strap on
one side forms a resting place for the
thimble and at the back of the box
loops of narrow ribbon are arranged
to hold four reels of cotton. The cot
ton can easily be used in this way
without removing the reels from their
places.

LATEST THING IN RUGS.
Really Rag Carpets, Though They Are
Not So Called.

at-grandmother' rag carpets arc
travelling under an assumed name. AS
You all know they are now Martha
Washington puritan rugs, but they
have taken on softer, smoother tex
ture since their revival.
They still are made on an old hand
loom, but of new rags-not really rags,
after all, but of new sateen carefully
cut into even widths, and the thinnest
among them of colored or white tape.
The shades of material used in these
rugs are varied according to the gem
eral effect desired, and what cannot be
accomplished in the cotton material
is gained by the careful selection OF
colors in the cotton chain. These light
er-weight rugs made of tape are so
pliable as to be useful for table COW
ers in studies, nurseries or even in
general sitting room where there are
many children and things are designed
for hard usage; also they are used to
cover cushions for studio purposes or
porches. The rugs made with col
ored chain are warmer in tone, but
those with a white chain are more
seryiceable, because they are more
successfully Numbered, which, in this
case, is polite way of describing the
washing process, for in these particu-
lar rugs it may best be accomplished
by laying them on smooth surface
and scrubbing them with household
scrub brush or else by putting them
into a washing machine.

USE FOR OLD TABLEcLoTHs.
When Worn, They Are Made Into
Covers for Card Tables.

One housekeeper has found some
what novel use for her old tablecloths
that are too worn for use; she cuts
them into covers for her card tables.
AS the family is an inveterate lover
of games of all sorts there are num-
Der of the green-covered card tables
in the house These soon get so dusty
as to soil light dresses. To prevent
this they are covered each time before
playing with squares made from the
old tablecloths.
The cloth is cut into squares two or
three inches larger than the table. are
hemmed neatly all around and tapes
are fastened at each corner to tie the
cover around the legs of the table.
If one has no old tablecloth that can
be converted to such a use, cheap and
attractive covers can be made from
heavy linen, with narrow scallop en-
broidered around the edge and mono
gram in one corner that rests on the
table. If desired, the corners can be
cut at right angles to make the cloth
fit more easily and prevent it from
slipping up.

Even on the best gowns one sees

1t must not be worn at the waist
line, but so few gowns have a waist
line any more that this advice is gu
perfluous.
They are worn at the top of The

than the shoulder blade at the back.
They are five or six inchcs &upd, and
studded with immense stones.
