manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement:―
This invention relates to improvements in ladies work or fancy-receptacles

class, that they will always hang flat against the wall, whether full or empty.

back of tidy which may be of any suitable shape Fig. 3 is the same shaped
piece of wood or cardboard showing the covering and welting, Fig. 4 being
