Study and Skill Bring New Product Before the Public Milady Raves Over Adorable Boxes Made by Indianapolis Girl. BY MABEL WHEELER. “Oh, yes, I know her, she's the girl who makes such adorable boxes!” That chance remark, overheard one day as I stepped from the street car aroused my curiosity. A builder of beautiful boxes sounded out of the ordinary to me. I wondered whether they were wo den boxes, brass boxes or theater boxes, but I did not wonder long, for at the very next moment a friend dashed up to grasp me by the hand, displaying on her wrist a ripping looking gold brocade box. “Where did you get that?” I demanded excitedly, pointing to the box. •Isn’t It a duck," she said happily.

And there I had caught it, too, unconsciously, that Identification tag of Miss Messlck, for she has become famous as a box maker. “I conceived the idea of these boxes several years ago,” said Miss Messlck while I browsed around searching sot a brown, brocade box in her shop in Woodruff Place yesterday. “I couldn’t get the foundation to work with. Tho skeleton of them Is a pasteboard box ol a certain size and durability, cylindrical like an oatmeal box, but the lid must be several sizes too large, yon see, so that they can be padded and covered. So when I went to the box factories to purchase such a box the boxmakers would uot bother with Just making me a few, but I would not be discouraged end kept after them until finally, through the kindness of a friend, one company made me several models. “Then I started in working on them. My first efforts were pathetic looking.

The furs that trim the coats are of a select grade in keeping with the rieliness of the fabrics. Australian opossum Black fox Raccoon Beaver Nutria Squirrel

"Those little things are made from my •craps, and tbe girls are wild over them. “The beys are wild about them, too, and you would be surprised at the number of young chaps who buy them for their sisters and sweethearts. “I love them.
