HAS TWO PURPOSES

COMBINATION OF BCREEN AND NEWSPAPER RACK. Easily Made and the Cost Is Comparatively Nothing—Can Be Draped With Silk Remnants If They Mh/Vre at Hand. A very charming little screen can be prepared from a small two-fold clgthes horse that can be purchased at a very slight cost, and we give a sketch of a novel one that serves the purpose of a newspaper rack as well The screen is draped with soft silk, the upright bars of the clothes horse

painted with enamel to match it. Enamel of almost any shade of color may be purchased for a trifle, in small tins, together with a brush fjjt putting it on, and one small tte-wll be sufficient for this purpose. Both sides of the horse are draped with silk which is arranged in plaits and gathered into a tiny frill at the top and bottom. The silk is fastened to the upper anc| lower bars with tacks and over the tacks narrow braid is fastened on with fancy brass-headed nails driven in close together.

The pockets for the newspapers cover the lower half of the screen and they are made with the same silk that had been used for covering the screen. The upright bars of the horse are finished off at the upper ends with small brass balls, which may be procured from almost any hardware store at a trifling cost

Useful Screen.
