If one is clever with the use, of
paste, scissors and paper one can
make many lovely gifts of boxes that
are ever acceptable, and among this
vear's gift suggestions are new ones,
of unusual charm.
The use of wall paper to cover
boxes is an old stery, but a similar
idea is popular—the use of small-pat
terned Japanese papers. These are
availahle at the art stores in sheets,
and exceedingly dainty and attractive
are the patterns, and designs. When
using a wooden box choose a color
from the paper, and enamel the inside
that color. Thin glue may be used for
pasting the paper on the outside,
When the top is hinge'd, a knob made
of a large bead may be attached to
it and thus add to the joy of the box.
Prints are being used for cover dec
orations. For a lady, an old print from
“Godey’s Lady’s Book” will appro
priately adorn the lid. The inside of
the box can be divided into compart
ments with the use of wooden parti
tions. One phase should be large
enough for a powder box, another
long and narrow for hairpins and so
on.
Use Shellacked Paper.
1f paper is used to line this box it
should be shellacked, so that dusting
it will be easy. The easy removal of
the partitions will assist, too, to keep
it clean. A box of this kind will be
a great help for storing the small
things that are so hard to keep tidy
on the dresser.
Inside the iid a mirror is placed.
Narrow strips of wood will hold it in.
The edges may be painted or covered
with gold braid. It is not always easy
to find a print from Godey’s Lady’s
Book. Other quaint old prints will
lend themselves to the same purpose.
Sometimes an old catalogue of paint
ings will contain good steel engrav
ings which will serve excellently.
Besides prints and patterned paper
there is gesso to use in decorating
boxes. The effects one may obtain are
diverse and varied enough to please
everyone, and all sorts of originality
can be displayed.
Something About Gesso.
For those who are not familiar with
gesso it may be said taht it is a thick
gummy substance that is applied to
rough or “raw” surfaces, to get raised
ffects, drying in a short time. Besides
boxes, picture frames can be made
with gesso as basis of decoration.
Gesso can be bought at art stores and
sometimes at department stores.
Suppose we start with a small box
to hold playing cards. A small col
ored picture may be applied to the top
and glued smoothly in place. Feet for
the box can be made by using tiny
tacks to fasten squares of wood to
each corner of the box.
Let us imagine that we want a
curved design on the top. Heavy cord
can be used and glued into the desired
shape. Now we are ready for the ges
so. A good sized water color brush
will be about right to use with gesso.
Dip it in the gesso. and apply freely
all over the box, making a careful out
line around the picture. YWhen it is
partly dry varigated effects may be
obtained by dabbing at it with the
brush. Too much lumpiness is not

lreally good, giving a rather rough or
unpleasant texture to the box, which
!should be pleasantly smooth to the
touch.
‘ Apply Coat of Gilt. -
- Now coat the gessé with gilt and
allow it to dry, Yes, it seems to take
time all right. There is still another
coat, this time of paint. Select from
the picture a predominant color, and
paint lightly over one end of the box.
Take a soft cloth and wipe away most
of the paint, leaving it in grooves and
hollows, giving an‘ ‘antique” effect.
This will be found to be very attrac
tive. The gaudiness of the gilt is soft
ened by the top color, and gently
blended to match the picture. It is
well to do a small surface at a time,
so that the paint will not dry before
you have wiped away the surplus.
Picture frames are handled in a
similar way. If you can get the pre
pared board, that is best because it
is braced and will not warp. 1f not,
get wall board and nail flat strips of
wood to the back of it. Or these may
be nailed to the front to form a design
around the picture, Magazine covers
kave been worked up on such a back
ground to form most effective panels.
| The Finished Product.
~ When the picture is firmly glued
in place and the strips of wood or cord
forming the design are fastened tight
ly, then cover the exposed surfaces
with gesso as you did the box, next
use gilt, last of all paint, wiping it
away as before.
It is a fascinating pastime and yet a
most practical one and the effects are
often surprisingly good. Needless to
say people have committgd atrocious
things in this medium, but a moderate
use of good sense and good taste will
prevent disasters of this sort. For
Christmas gifts it is a happy idea since
no two picese will be alike, and one
can do much original work on each,
giving to it some little personal touch
that makes for charm.

A FAMILY RESIDES
LITTLE HOME IN CENTER OF
OF THE WORLD’S LEADING
FINANCIAL DISTRICT.
In Wall street, one of the best
known streets in the world, the name
of which wherever spoken implies
wealth and power, is a building that
more than a hundred years ago was
a pretentious private dwelling, and
even today one floor is occupied as a
dwelling, according to the New York
Times. It is No. 121 and it stands at
the corner of Wall and South streets,
a little three-story brick structure
built in 1811,
The ground floor at the corner is
occupied by a modest lunch counter,
patronized principally by laborers
about the docks. The two floors above
contain small offices, and the top floor
is occupied by one of Wall street’s
business men and his family.
He is the sole head of a business
house that in the course of a year,
like many other Wall street houses,
handles millions. His millions are not
dollars, however, but peanuts, cigar
ettes and lollypops, if business is good,
as it usually is, at his little stand near
the corner.
The brick walls of No. 121 are not
exactly plumb and in several places
have sagged. When the house was
built there was a beautiful little grassy
plaza in front, where residents of the
neighborhood gathered to gossip on
pleasant evenings, for Wall street in
those days contained about as many
private residences as business places.
Looking backward over the years
that have passed since this little brick
residence was built one notes the
‘many changes that have been made in
‘the architecture of the street.

Margaret Webb and Mrs. Susie Mer
cer. The chapter made up a neat con
tribution for the Martha Berry school.
Mrs. J. S. Lowrey read an interesting
paper on the “Interpretation of Amer
ican Ideals.” Mrs. R. R. Jones delight
ed the members with musical num
‘bers. At the conclusion of the pro
lgram delightful refreshments were
served by the following committee:

Pickett at her attractive apartment
complimenting Mrs. W. L. Waring,
of Tampa, Fla. The rooms were pret

Austin received a handkerchief for
high score prize and Mrs. John Seay
