MOST USEFUL LETTER BOARD

Simple Contrivance of Especial Service Where There Are Marty Members of the Household. Our sketch shows a useful article to prepare for hanging upon the wall at some convenient spot in the hall of a boarding house, or where there are many members in a family. It is quite easy to make. For its construction, in the first place a piece of thin board measuring 18 inches in length and 8 Inches in width will be

required. This board is covered with pale green casement cloth, the material being turned over at the edges and fastened on at the back with tacks. * Diagram A shows the shape in which the casement cloth should be cut out, the space inclosed by the dotted lines corresponding in size with the surface of the board. Diagram B shows the back with the four flaps folded over and tacked down. Across the front of the board bands of broad white elastic are fastened on with small brass-headed nails, the nails being inserted at each end of each band and also at the points where the bands cross each other. The rack is finished off at thqgedges with a dark green cord, and for suspending it from nails in the wall two ordinary picture rings are screwed into the upper edge.
