GliOVE BOX AND COVER. 



stars embroidered in yellow silk is quite showy. A darker or lighter shade 



of the sanie color as the lin- 

 ing used for the stars makes 

 a tasteful combination. 



Glove Box and Cover. 



— A glove box of the kind we 

 illustrate may be cut and 

 made from a large jjaper 

 box. After the edges are 

 neatly sewed, jjaste neatly 

 over the outside a cover of 

 white muslin, to make the 

 box strong. Line and cover 

 both box and cover with 

 silk, finishing the edges with 

 large sUk cord or chenille. 

 The outside may be ornamented m a variety of ways. Additional ornamen- 

 tation may bo secured by cutting curves in the sides of the cover. Both 

 admit of much ingenuity and display of taste in arrangement and trunmmg. 

 Attached covers are convenient for 

 careless users, and much more easily 

 trimmed, being simply fastened at the 

 back, and lifted and closed like a trunk 

 cover. Instead of using silk as a cover- 

 ing, perforated paper (never get that in 

 white, as it sooq soils) lain against a 

 smooth paper or cloth of a different 

 color, and the silver and gold paper, 

 perforated with large, square meshes, 

 with initials or other ornament wrought 

 in chenille, silk, or worsted, may be 

 used to advantage. 



Sacliot The sachet is of old-gold 



plush, embroidered with rosebuds and 

 leaves, and trimmed with lace and bows 

 of ribbon. 



Hantllcercliief Cases. — If for a gen- 

 tleman, the size of the case would be 

 eleven inches by eighteen inches, doub- 

 Img down the center; for a lady, four- 

 teen inches sqviare; it shoiild be lined 

 with silk, and lightly wadded, the wad- 

 ding being scented. Cut a piece of 

 satin, twenty-six inches long, and eleven 

 inches broad, and line it with fine flan- 

 nel, and a piece of satm quilted before- 

 hand over it. Turn in the edges all , . , -, , *, „.,.;i 

 round, and sew over neatly; told the two ends m toward each other, untd 

 thcv meet to within about an inch. Sow over the double edges at the sides, 

 and fold up the case. The haudkcrcUiefo slip in on cither Bide, mto the two
