S the summer openings pro- gress, it is seen that there is a decided, tendency toward feminine, allure. There is a beauty of detail and a leaning " toward the romantic.

The shoulders are gently sloping; but the most interesting change: is that skirts are fuller for both day and evening and slighty shorter for street and sportswear, Plents are prevalent especially papressed pleats, which are very now!

"AGHC Match Boxes-1

M*

have seen all sorts of elever little gadgets contrived from penny match boxes, but there are two sets that especial-

ly delight my, childish fancy.

The first is made up of four boxes so covered that they look like tiny books. Two wee china doga accompany the set to serve us book unds, The boxes are covered with envelope-lining papers and titles are printed on little strips of white paper and glued on the backs of the books. Tales may be contriv. ed to amisu the one who is to re- ceive the gift. something like this.. "Match Making," "New Light on Strikes," "Bright Lights of Broadway."

To transform a match box to a "hunk," cut a piece of heavy, wrap- ping paper 24" X 3" (the stand- and size box). Cut the coloured lining paper " larger all around. Place the brown paper on the -coloured, turn in the coloured edges all round and stick them down on the brown paper. Now fold this round the box and glue it firmly. Leave the sandpaper edge uncover, ed for striking the matches. will be the front edge of the book. The paper covering will project about " all round the box edgea thus giving the effect of a book. Such gets could be covered with rough red paper. to reйemble leather and lettered on the back with gold.
