TRIFES OF THE WARDROBE

USEFUL LABEL CASE ARTICLE THAT WILL BE APPRECIATED BY TRAVELER. Directions for Making a Simple Little Case for Holding Luggage Labels —Art Linen May Be Used to Advantage. It Is a carious coincidence that lug; gage labels never seem to be at hand when they are required, and for that reason only it is well worthy while to make a case for them that may be hung up at some particular spot on the wall in a spare room or box-room, where they may be always found whenever they are Wanted, and the case WQuld make a very nice little present I We give, therefore, a sketch of a handy case for this purpose, that may be carried out in art linen, colored for preference, as it'will show marks less easily. It can be cut out entirely in one piece, and the two ends folded over so that they form pockets, and then sewn down at the sides. The case should be lined and is bound throughout at the edge with narrow ribbon. The two sides shoujd be stiffened with pieces of cardboard sewn in between the cover and the lining. In the center, for the space of about an inch, there should be no cardboard, and this space is indicated in the left-

hand sketch by “A,” and it is at this point that the two sides of the case fold together. At B and Br-a loop of silk cord is sewn, for suspending the case from a nail in the wall. The right-hand sketch illustrates the case closed and hung up. The words “Tie-on” are worked on one pocket and “Adhesive” on the other, while on the front of the case, the words “Luggage Labels” are embroidered, and the remaining space filled up with a small conventional design. A little case of this kind is not only of use at home, but for traveling purposes it will also be found very valuable.
