To cover a cardboard box it must,
first of all, be taken to pieces, care
fully slit along at the corners. keep
ing the edges thus made as smooth
and even as possible. The material
is then cut out, each piece being twice
the size that it is intended to cover,
and half-an-inch being allowed for
turnings. 1t will be found easiest in
all probability to double the material
before cutting it out. If, however,
the box is to be lined with different
material from the cover, lay the ma
terial and the lining one on top of the
other, and cut to the shape and size
required, allowing half-an-inch all
round for turnings, as before. Fold
the material carefully round the card
board, arrange the turnings, and then
neatly oversew the two edges together
with strong thread. When all the
pieces are carefully covered, sew them
together firmly, according to the
original shape Of the box. with over
sewing. The lid may be fastened by
overseeing along one side, or, if pre-
ferred, hinges may be made Of rib
bon, by means of which it is attached
to the back of the box. A layer of
wadding placed on the lid helps to
give slightly padded effect to the
material, which greatly improves it's
appearance. The box may then be
edged all round with fine cord or very
narrow passementerie, which will Gov
er all the seams and give neatness
and finish which is sometimes great,
ly needed.

0NE of the chief characteristics of
~ modern dress is the extraordi-
nary number of trifles by which it is
supplemented. No woman who val
ues her appearance, and wishes to be
we'll dressed, can contrive to do with
out them. Collars, ribbons, laces,
wells, handkerchiefs, gloves, all play
a more or less important role as ad-
juncts to the toilet, and all are in
dispensable. But, unfortunately, as
our list of requirements gets larger
and larger, so do houses and flats dis
play a decided tendency to grow
smaller and smaller, and how and
where to dispose of her many belong
ings is problem which faces many
room, which she is obliged, very pos
sibly, to share with sister. In such
a case she will find it the wisest, as
we'll as the tidiest, plan to keep all
these multifarious odds and ends in
separate boxes, which need not neces-
sarily be monumental, but which
clever fingers may easily convert in
to things Of beauty.
Cardboard boxes of various shapes
and sizes are quite easy to obtain.
Those in which shoes and corsets
have been sent home will prove ex-
.ceedingly useful. The covering of
these with chintz, muslin or silk is
not at all difficult matter, and they
can be transformed into remarkably
pretty articles, which may not only
ornament the makers own particular
sanctum. but be given away as very
welcome presents.

A Sale for Dolly.

- 00IC IVG 0OlIys
A club composed of ten girls from
the ages Of ten to fifteen, managed
and made ready this bazaar which
they gave for charity devoted to
children. The affair was given in the
afternoon at the home of one of the
members, the room was arranged like
a department store, with all articles
belonging to dolls most attractively
displayed. Now that there are pat
terms for dolls so that complete ward
robes may be made, the girls found it
great fun to make the clothes, hats,
muffs, etc., and orders were taken for
all articles for doll houses, such as
sheets, pillow cases, even with the
dolls monogram embroidered, wee
towels, wash cloths, ETC., The moth
ers and big sisters of the girls served
light refreshments or rather donated
them and the girls served. Quite a
sum was realized and the girls had a
fine time many weeks before in happy
anticipation and preparation.

lowed during his apprenticeship. He
will have realized long before the end
of his first five years that he must de-
vote his time to outside study and
practice If he expected to get into
higher positions, and will have been
burning midnight oil for long while.
There is wide difference between
a mere carpenter and a carpenters
fcreman--sO great a difference that
one cannot become foreman, except
in most exceptional cases, without
having acquired fair working knowl-
edge of mechanical drawing; and to
be regular building foreman, in
charge of the workmen on large build.
ings, much more Is necessary. A
regular inside carpenters foreman is
paid from Sc to So a day; and after
very few years, if an opening occurs,
he is apt to be made superintendent
Of the particular plant he works for at
a regular salary of $4,000 to $4,000, or
even $4,000 annually. This position,
however, is about the end of possible
advancement at inside work. except
he should become a member of the
firm.
A building foreman who occupies
still higher position should have a
good working acquaintance with ge-
ometry and mensrration, excavating,
snoring and piling, footings and
foundations, the mechanics of carpen-
try, joinery, stair building, builders
hardware, roofing, mill design and also
know something of building stone,
stone masonry, concrete construction,
lathing, plastering, thing brckWo rR,
roofing, sheet metal worl, fircproof-
ing, etc.
All this sounds like a formidable
list-reads like taking college
course, you may think, but will not be
so difficult for an ambitious boy; for
evening study and practical applica-
ton Of what he has learned at every
opportunity during his work, II per
sisted in for years, will enable him to
acquire it all and to be fully comrc-
tent to take the responsible position
when it is offered 70 him.
You can see the advancen ent from
here on as straight and clear as can
be; for the building foreman on large
and important work, who is paid
$4,000 or $4,000 year, is too RESPONSE
BILE man to be lost sight of and will
be given the first opening as superin-
tendent that happens along, and be-
fore many years will find himself In
a sort of general superintendent over
other superin*epdeNts in charge OF the
construction Of numerous establish

wishes and become constructing en-

A CUP and Saucer Shower.

A charming entertainment was
given recently for a December bride
to-be. The hostess enclosed pink
card board heart with her invitations,
tied with a knot Of pink baby ribbon
put through a hole pinched in the
center of the heart. She asked each
guest to write an appropriate senti-
ment on it, either original or quoted,
and return 1t tied to the handle Of the
teacup to be presented. All to be
sent to the home Of the hostess before
the day Of the party.
When the guests assembled at three
IN the afternoon they gazed upon a
perfect wilderness Of pink hearts. All
portieres and draperies had disap-
peared and in their place were de-
lightfully pretty curtains made Of
pink hearts strung on baby ribbon.
The lace curtains were yelled In
hearts, quantities fluttered from gas
Jets and chandeliers. The stair ban
nisters were covered and made a fine
background for the rose colored love
symbols. After the EXPLANATIONS of
surprise subsidized, beribboned hearts
with pink pencils attached were pass
ed, the hostess explaining that the
comglomeration Of words twenty-five
in ally would tell the contents of the
brides trousseau when properly put
together. All worked busily for twen-
ty minutes, then rewards were given
to the fortunate and unfortunate ones,
consisting of hat pin, needle book
and card case. Then the hostess led
the way to the dining room, where
the bride-elect was given the place of
honor in a great high back chair at
the head of the table, her bridesmaids
handed her the shower cups and sau-
GERS, from which she read the verse
lets inscribed on each card. Heart
shaped cakes, chocolate and dainty
apricot ice served in heart ice cups,
surrounded with tissue paper petals
to look like pink rose, were the re-
freshments with hearts shaped can
dies. Every one said it was the pref
test affair of the season.
