DESK FITTINGS
OF CRETONNE
Pretty Idea for Furnishing
Girls Room.

For a girls room that Is furnished
with one of the lovely lowered Gre
tonnes or chintzes 1t is a pretty idea
to have her desk fittings in the same
material. And she can make them all
herself. which is an added pleasure to
most girls when they are fitting up a
room. First there is the large blotter.
This Is made by cutting a piece of
heavy cardboard just the size she
wants and covering in smoothly with
the cretonne. The best way to cover
1t is to cut the cretonne little larger
than the cardb and turn it over
the edge of the board and glue it firm
ly all along the edge. The corners
must be mitered so that they just fit.
Over the edge of the covering is
glued gimp TO finish 1t. At each cor
ner fasten little triangle of the Gre
tonne folded on the diagonal side, to
hold the corners of the blotting paper.
These extra pieces are put on before
the gimp. Or. instead of the cretonne
corners a strip of the gimp may be
fastened across each corner and the
plotting paper slipped under.
The next thing to make is a rack
for paper and envelopes. For this buy
the cheapest wooden rack to be found
| (unless you happen to have a brother
who can make one for YOU'D and glue
the cretonne all over it. finishing 1t
with the gimp. tray for pens and
pencils can be made to match by using
the cover of long, narrow box as a
| foundation and covering it with the
material in the same way. The ideal
may be carried out in any other things
used on desk. a stamp box or a
| box for rubber bands.

Sand Train Holds Crossing

A sand train on the C., l. & s. held
the railroad crossing at Holman street
yesterday afternoon off and on for
nearly forty-five minutes.
They pulled out a draw bar on one
of the cars and the engine was I'M
able to pull the train around the curve.
The crew did everything possible to
relieve the situation. but could do
nothing until the draw bar was re-
paired.
The railroad company should be call
ed to account for this condition, as it
happens frequently.
