VERY USEFUL AND PRETTY

Shaving Paper Holder Is Easily Made and Makes Tasty Decoration for Wall. This is a wonderful little article to make for hanging upon the wall by the side of the dressing table or slinging upon the post of the looking glass. In making it, a piece of stiff “cardboard is cut out in the shape shown tn the diagram on the right hand side of the sketch, and smoothly covered with some prettily colored

remnant of silk. The edge is ornamented with a .ailk cord of a fancy pattern, chosen in some contrasting shade of color and carried into the three little loops on either side and again* at the ,top and base. A long loop of cord is attached to the upper part and serves to suspend it from a nail in the wall or the post of the glass. The papers are held in their places by a broad band of elastic which is run through cut on either side and the ends securely .sewn together at the back. The position of these two slits is clearly indicated in the diagram on the right. The little article would also be very useful for hanging upon the wall by the side of the writing table, and under those circumstances it would be handy for holding unused half-sheets of note paper, and they could easily be withdrawn, like the shaving papers, one by one, as they may be required.
