Presents Made
of Brocade
How Bargain Length. M&.y Be Utilized
For BooktttLndi, Envelope!, Waste
Pa.per Holder!, Address
Books, Etc.
THOSE fascinating squares of
brocade damask and tapestry
which one sees on the bargain
tables of the shops at very
small prices may be used to nmke any
number of pretty and useful tbins for
the house. Old bits of brocade satin
which have done duty in an evening
gown and are about to be relegated to
the rag bag may also be utilized in
making various articles for Christinas
presents.
For small pieces of tapestry and bro
cade damask there are other uses ami
among them nothing more attractive
than the book rack, now so popular au
addition to library or bedroom furnish
ings. This consists of a fairly high back .
piece and two side pieces cgt from
Stout cardboard, the length Appending
on the number of books the stand may
be usually required for, while the bot
tom piece is composed of a piece of
thin wood, which material could also
be used for the back and sides.
Choose a piece of brocade with a pat
tern that repeats itself in "groups," so
to speak. You will then be able to
BROCADE BOOKSTAND.
have one whole design In the middle of
the back. Cover the three cardboard
pieces on both sides and finish off at
the edges with a fairly thick gold or
Bilk roll braid. The side pieces are
sewed firmly to the back and the joins
hidden by the braid. The wooden bot-.
torn must be also covered with brocade
and glued strongly Into the cardboard.
Four little gilt knobs stuck underneath
serve to raise the stand from the table
on which it rests.
Bookstands suitable for mlnature vol
umes of poems and plays, so fashion
able nowadays, can be contrived from
small pieces of brocade covered card
board. These measure about five
inches and a half high and have
curved back and side pieces. Here
again the length is determined by the
number of books intended for the
stand. These little stands are charm
ing when made as shown lu the sketch
aud fixed two together, back to back.
Book blocks are most useful. These
consist of heavy shaped pieces of wood
J?''- covered with brocade, and they are
quite indispensable in keeping any
number of books together on the table.
They cost very little to make, and if
the brocade Is well stretched over the
wood and nailed down with tiny up
holsterer's tacks there Is no danger of
the material wrinkling and spoiling the
effect.
Tapestry is just as pretty a covering
as is brocado for these book racks.
Bmall brocade "envelopes" are most
handsome appendages for the writing
table and are made in cardboard cov
ered with brocade and lined with satin,
silk or sarcenet. The back and wallet
shaped flap piece are cut In one piece
and the front separately. When the
two pieces have been covered aud lined,
Insert a piece of satin ribbon about two
Inches wido inside round the sides- and
bottom. This will allow the brocade
envelope to expand and hold a fair
quantity of envelopes or loose paper.
The brocade la finished with an edging
of flat gold braid, 'which secures the
flap in the middle. These handy en
velope holders can be : made in all the
shapes and sizes of the envelopes most
ENVELOPE OP SILK BROCADE. I
in general use, and, needless perhaps
to say, must be made quite half an
Inch larger than the actual size of the
paper envelope. '
. A pretty waste paper holder can be
made from a piece of cardbsard meas
uring nine inches high, with a diame
ter of nine inches. The cardboard is
covered with brocade and lined with
dark sarcenet, afterward joined and
sowed Into a bottom piece of round
cardboard covered with silk only. Top
and bottom are finished off with thick
rolled braid, and care must be taken
to render the join in the cardboard
cylinder as imperceptible as possible.
Engagement and address books use
up odd scraps of brocade. They can
be bought quite cheap and the ortgi-,
nal covers replaced with dainty bro
cade ones. Trinket boxes, blotting
books, veil and glove cases, all can be
made and, lastly, stands to hold cards.
These are particularly pretty when the
pattern ou the brocade is outlined In
tlnpol tV.mul and the brocade after

Mrs. Welty says she lias no recollec

at a loss to know who sent the letter
and the money.
NEITHER TEAM SC0RE6.
Mount Angel and Barclay Play Tight
Game on Willamette Field.
The Barclay High School football
team played Mount Angel team to a
standstill on Willamette Field Satur
day afternoon, neither team scoring.
Bancroft, of the visiting team, fractured-his
collar-bone in the first half,
and was compelled to retfre and come
to Oregon City for medical attention.
Oregon City had the best of the game
in the first half, but missed advantages
more than once by not resorting to
punts, and the teams were very even
ly matched in line bucking. In the
second half Mount Angel took a brace,
and the home team had to punt to
keep their goal . out of danger. The
game ended with the ball in the pos
session of Mount Angel on Oregon
City's 5-yard line. The local men
played a steady, even game, and man
aged to evercome the superior team
work and experience . of the Mount
Angel team.
