CASE FOR THE CORKSCREW

Hindy Little Article That May Be Easily Fashioned Out of Soft Wash-Leather. Our sketch shows a useful little article that can be made in spare moments in the shape cf a neat little case for a silver-plated corkscrew. A case of this kind not only keeps the corkscrew in a nice and bright condition, but it is a useful little article in which to place a corkscrew when it is put in the pocket. It is made in soft wash-leather and it is cut out in two pieces of the

shapes shown in diagrams B and C, oh the right of the illustration; B forming the back of the case and the foldover flap and C the front of the pockets. It is bound at the edges with narrow ribbon and fastens with a snap fastener. * JTh© sketches &bow alearty-the size of the case should be made in proportion to the else of the corkscrew,

and they indicate clearly the way in which it may be used. Diagram A shows the case empty and spread put quite fiat, and to fasten it the flap is folded over the handle and secured with the press button; a piece of cork should be put on the tip of the screw to prevent its cutting through the leather.
