Along the edge Of the lid, also fast

there is a little curtain Of soft silk
gathered into a frill at the top that
hangs downward when the lid is shut

this, and some pretty floral design can
be embroidered on the silk covering
the surface Of the lid. Small brass
handles can be screwed on either side

be easily lifted when occasion arises
and handles suitable for this purpose
may be obtained for a trifle at any
