gold) perforated paper, eight inches square, and ornament it with
worsted or silk, as in the diagram, all in one direction. To make the
cornucopia, it is only necessary to join any two edges (as A and B)
by first binding each with ribbon and then sewing them together. Line
with silk, and put box-plaiting at the top. A worsted tassel might be
put at the top (in front) as well as at the bottom, and a loop at C.

A CATCH-ALL.]

blue would look well with gold paper. But the colors may be varied
according to taste. If your friend is a brunette, you will find that
he or she will be most pleased with the red, while a blonde will
prefer blue.

A WALL-POCKET OF SPLITS.

Splits, or cigar-lighters as they are sometimes called, are to be
had at any of the fancy shops. They are an inch wide and about seven
inches long, and come in various shades of brown and straw color,
and their flexibility makes it easy to weave them in and out like

containing six splits each way, but one made larger than the other, as
seen in the picture. A few stitches in cotton of the same color will
hold the strips in place. Line the smaller of the squares with silk,
and lay it across the face of the other in such a way that the four
