BUREAU FITTINGS.

II HE girl who has n handsomeomahOg-
any bureau has often much trouble to
keep its top from being injured by
water or scratched by some of the innu-
merablc Il things that are laid on a
bureau.
The difficulty is the same whether the
bureau is one of the charming old ones
that belonged TO her grandmother or
great-grandmother or a modern one with
a fine piece OF mahogany for the top. In
either case it soon loses its smooth and
perfect finish by use,
This may be prevented by covering it
with piece of clear glass and still the
beautiful grain of the wood is plainly seen.
The glass should be cut the exact shape
of the bureau and it may have tiny
frame OF mahogany fastened on it which
fits over the edge of the bureau. Or,
instead OF the wooden frame, girl
can finish the edge herself by gluing on
n binding of heavy narrow ribbon. just
rs posse partout framing is done. One
edge of the ribbon is glued on one side of
the glass and then il Is turned over The
edge of the glass and glued down OH ihe
other side. Great care must be taken to
have the edge of the glass come exactly
in the middle of the ribbon, and at the
corners the ribbon must be carefully
mitrcd.
! Glass can be used in much the same
manner TO make charming boxes Tor use
on ones bureau or dressing table, n
square box for handkerchicfs and long
one for gloves are a great convenience
on any dressing table. The girl who
wants 10 make these boxes must hrSt
make careful measurements to- the eNact
size she wants and have glazier cut
for her two pieces exactly alike for the
bottom and cover and four pieces for The
sides.
In the case OF square box the sides
are all alike. but with glove box two
are much longer than the others. Each
piece of glass is entirely bound with rib
bon. The ribbon may be glued to the glass,
but it is not necessary.
IL the ribbon is pressed into fold in
the middle and the mitrcd sasnors are
very tightly scwcd, The bindiTs viii hold
i'm place and never slip oil
When the glass is all bound with rib
bon the four sides are sewed 10 the bot
tom and to one another. making n tirm
box Then the cover Is either Sewed
across the bacl, or tackled at the two back
corners 4 little loop of ribbon is scwed
TO the cover in the middle of the front by
which to raise it, and bow may be put
nj each corner of the cover.
a fat sachet of silk OF the same color
as the ribbon may be laid in the bottom
of the box or il can be left with the plain
glass bottom.

There should really be two pairs Of
boots for school wear, for shoe that is
not put on every day will last more than
twice as long as when il is never given a
twenty-four hour rest, 1t Is also much
better for the feet not to wear the one
pair of shoes all the time. For general

quality are best These may be either
buttoned or laced, as preferred. High
russet boots with leather lncings are de-
cidcdly smart for walking. and are seen
with suits of every shade with which the

considerably higher than mems boots.
