pictures are invisible till the lamp is lighted: then they gleam forth
with something of the soft glow of a porcelain transparency.


A GLOVE-BOX.

In any of the fancy shops you can now buy the slender frames of
silvered tin on which these boxes are made. Cut out double pieces of
pale-tinted silk to fit the top, bottom, sides and ends, and quilt
each separately with an interlining of cotton batting, on which
sachet-powder has been lightly sprinkled. Slip the pieces between the
double rods of the frame, sew over and over, and finish with a plaited
satin ribbon all round, adding a neat little loop and bow to lift the
lid.

The small tin boxes in which fancy biscuits are sold can be utilized
for glove-boxes, covered as you choose on the outside, and lined with
wadded silk.


ANOTHER GLOVE-BOX.

This box can be made in very stiff card-board, but tin is better
if you have the pieces which form its shape cut by the tinman, and
punched with holes in rows an inch and a half apart. If you use
card-board, you must punch your own holes, measuring the places for
them with rule and pencil. In either case, you will need the same
number of pieces and of the same size, namely: two strips one foot
long and five inches wide, two strips one foot long and three inches
wide, and two strips five inches long and three inches wide. Cover
