CASE FOR SHAVING PAPERS

Acceptable Present for a Man That Can Be Made Very Easily at Home. A case for shaving papers generally forms a very aceptable present for a man. and in our sketch may be seen a pretty type of this useful little article. It is designed for hanging upon the wall by the side of the dressing table and is of a diamond shape. For the

foundation a piece of stiff cardboard should be cut out in the required size and covered both back and front with some pretty remnant of silk. The pocket should next be arranged, and this should be made of the same 1 silk and lined with soft silk of some contrasting shade, and edged with a silk cord. The words “Shaving Paper” may be worked upon the front of it, or some pretty little floral design or initial may take their place. The edge of the case is also finished off with silk cord, and at each point smart little rosettes of ribbon are srvrn on. A drawing pin or small tack run'Through the case and into the wail Just under the top resette, where it will net be visible, will suffice tc fasten it in position. . The colors of the materials ctaosek for making the case should in a great measure be governed by the color of the wall-paper upon which it is to' hang, but made in palp green silk with dark green silk cord and rosettes of pale pink, it will look very pretty and harmonise with the color of mosi wall papers.
