TIDY BUREAU DRAWER

A tidy top drawer is not an impossibility, in spite of the fact that all the little odds and ends of one’s toilette are kept there to be easily got at. But they are generally in a rather stirred-up condition. To achieve neatness, one woman took some very thin boards and concerted her top drawers, by their use, into compartments to suit the various -articles she keeps in them, thus doing away with many covered boxes and holders for gloves and handkerchiefs. The illustration shows a drawer divided thus into compartments. If nice smooth wood is not to be had for the purpose, cardboard boxes, without covers, and fastened into place by thumb-tacks, or even pins, will insure the wished for tidiness and convenience in selecting the articles wanted.
