USEFUL LITTLE WORK BOARD

Takes Up Only a Small Amount of Space and la Extremely Handy When Wanted. ■—■■ a This useful little board Is intended to hang on the wall near a dressing table, where it will be found most handy. A piece of stiff cardboard about ten inches long and eight inches deep is used as a foundation, ’ and this is covered with silk stretched

smoothly across and sewn together at the edges. Down the center a strap of broad elastic is sewn so that it forms a series of loops under which scissors, bodkin and thimble may be slipped and held in their places. On either side of this, small pockets are arranged capable of holding packets of needles. *v- ft--' . r-?--4.-->••• - < Along the upper edge and suspend-

ed with little loops of narrow ribbon are three reels of cotton, from which the thread may be drawn off without removing them from the board. The board Is edged all round with a silk cord, carried Into three little loops at each corner, and a loop of ribbon with a smart'bow at the top Is attached to the back by which the workboard may be suspended from a nail in the wall.
