DAINTY FOR DRESSING TABLE

Jewel Tray Almost as Much of an Ornament as Articles It Is Meant to Contain. It Is nice to have upon the dressing table some little receptacle In which rings, brooches, * etc., can be easily placed and covered up, so that the air will not tarnish them while they are not in use. We give a sketch of a dainty little tray to make for this pur;, pose. It can be made from the lid of a cardboard box of a suitable size. The sides are covered with thin silk, the

material being turned over at the edges and underneath and fastened oh with a strong adhesive. The interior is loosely lined with silk fastened in place with a few stitches run through the card. The flap which covers the tray is made of thicker silk or satin edged with silk cord, add lined with soft white silk, it ir-fecWß on at the back of the tray and the cord in front arranged in two little loops which fasten to two barrel buttons sewn on where indicated in the sketch. Upon* the front of the flap a pretty little floral design is embroidered, consisting of a pale pink rose and leaves worked in various shades of green, and within this design the Initials of the owner are worked in’geTdr in a horseshoe composed of tiny green leaves. . . _•
