BUREAU FITTINGS.

II HE girl who has 4 handsome mnhog~
! any bureau has often much trouble TO
keep it's top from being injured by
water or scratched by some of the innu-
merable Il things that are laid on
bureau
The difficulty is the same whether the
bureau is one of the charming old ones
that belonged TO her grandmother or
Sreat-grandmother or n modern one with
a hnc piece of mahogany for the top. In
either case it soon loses its smooth aud
perfect finish 10y use.
This may be prevented by covering it
with a piece of clear glass and still the
beautiful grain Of the wood is plainly seen.
The glass should be cut the exsct shape
Of the bureau and 1t may have n 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
binding of heavy narrow ribbon. just
as passe partout framing is done. One
edge of the ribbon is glued on one side of
the glass and then it is turned over the
edge Of the glass and glued down on She
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
to make charming boxes for use
on ones bureau or dressing table. a
square box for handkerchiefs and long
one for gloves arc n great convenience
ON any dressing table, The girl who
wants to make these boxes must first
make careful measurements fo- the exact
size she wants and have glazicr cut

bottom and cover and four pieces for the

DESIGN An AIRSHIP

In the window of the Corner Drug
Store there is an airship on display
which is a model designed by Hagen
and Archibald Stockder in their work
River street. The aircraft Is what is
known as monoplane and is the en-
bodiment OF the original idea of the
two brothers. While 1t is true that
their design involves some Of the ideas
used by Bleriot and others in their
monoplanes. the two brothers have
evolved a model machine which is.diS-
tinetively different than any other
plane yet in use. Hagen Stockdcr
said this morning. mo. we do not
follow the model of any other machine
but used our own ideas. You will no.
tice that in our model the planes are
absolutely stationary. This is the dis
tinctiye difference between our model
and those of others. Our machine VIII
be driven by gasoline power. The de-
signing and making of the model took
Arch and three or four hours every
night steadily for n month. We do not
expect TO make a big machine just at
this time but We expect TO later
The Stockder brothers have shown
unusual mechanical ability from time

friends that they have now come into

idea. 1t was Just last summer that
