T took 'some thin strips of wood from the top of" an old basket and- fastened one at each corner of tne,. boxes, allowing them to ex tend below far enough to make the feet, and the two strips of wood at tho back extend up far- enough to make a frame for the tiny mirror which I cut with a glass cutter from some pieces of broken looking glass. I put two pieces of the wood' strips across at the back between the two high upright pieces and that completed the frame for the mirror, which I pasted to a piece of pasteboard and fastened to the frame. This ceiling paper with the tiny pink and blue stars on a cream ground is just the right color for Midget's belongings, so I covered the sides, top and front of the boxes with it and painted the cor ners and the wood strips with gilt paint.
