CASE FOR THE HAIR BRUSHES

Any Material That is Strong May Be Made Use Of for This Valuable Appurtenance. z This Is a useful case for men’s hair brushes, and it may be carried out in any fairly strong material. It must In a measure be specially made for the particular brushes it Is destined to contain, as brushes of this kind vary In shape and size, and the case should fit them closely. Two oval pieces of cardboard should be cut out just a trifle larger in size than the back of the brush, and smoothly covered with the material that has been selected. The brushes can then be placed together and in this way the width of the case determined. This portion of the case should be lined, and have an interlining pf thin cardboard to stiffen it The flap, which lifts up for the Insertion of the brushes, is bound at the edge with narrow ribbon, and fastens with a button and buttonhole. The edges of the case

are finished off with a silk cord, and initials or some pretty little floral design may be worked on either side. For ordinary use upon the dressing table or for traveling purposes, a case of this kind is always handy and helps to keep the brushes clean and free from dust.
