Card Table Novelty.
0NE of the charming novelties Of this
~ season is an idea ORIGINATED for the
hostess who entertains at cards This
novelty is in the shape of a tiny glass
stand to hold cup and saucer or a glass
on a card table. Almost every house
keeper has had some experience in hay
ing a table top badly marked by some
card player having set down glass that
was wet on the bottom or cup OF after
noon tea. Anything that Will prevent
such an accident and be attractive as
wei as boon to the hostess is certainly
useful article.
To make the set Of class holders one
must first have four pieces of glass cut
to order in octagon shape. with diam
eter of four and ralf inches. The kind
is the best. and it can be purchased at g
shop where that work is done or at a
glaciers. Then a pieces OF cardboard is
cut for each piece Of glass, exactly the
same shape and size.
On one side of the cardboard is glued
piece of silk or brocade, and another
piece of silk is cut the same shape, but
ha'f an inch larrer al around. This is
for the back. but, before putting 1t on
some very small playing cards can be
glued on the center of the front. A pack
of these tiny cards can be purchased at
almost any novelty store. Arrange one
