HOLDS THE DUSTING BRUSH

Decorative and Pretty and of a Novel Nature Is the Accompanying J Design. 1 ' ’ A dusting-brush holder of a very novel nature is shown in the accompanying sketch, and it is simple and

easy to make, and at the same time it is very decorative and pretty. It represents, an artist’s palette, and for the foundation a “palette” must be cut out in stiff cardboard. This card is covered with creamcolored art linen, the material being turned over at the edges and fattened on at the back with a strong adhesive. On the material in front, dabs and splashes of paint are imitated with stitches of various colored silks, and

at the top of the palette* a small brass ring is sewn on by which it may be suspended from a nail in the wall. If preferred a smart bow and loop pf ribbon can be sewn on in place of the ring and will answer the same purpose. The handle of the brush is slipped through the thumb-hole in the palette, and thus held in place, and it can be removed in a moment whenever ft may be required.
