It is a nice Nttle shop project not too hard to make and requiring only a little material. One of its ehief points of quality is the fact that three-ply wood is used for the front and back panels, wire Two of these cre back and the two-toned effect shown for the fromt 1= obtained by cutting the design of the border and the four letters first-ply deep, then peeling away the rest of the surface ply with your knife. This not only causes a two-toned effect, but the letiers and border stand out about one- eighth inch high. You will need a piece three and one-half tnches high and scven inches long of three-ply wood for the front panel. The bottom is & piece one-half inch thick, four inches wide and seven inches long. ‘'The back is seven inches long, of three-ply material, and five or six inches high. And, in order that the rack may be strong enough to support a heavy book or catalogue, you should also provide two one-half by ome-half inch square sticks, each seven inches long. These are later glued into the corners. With these three pieces cut out, lay pencil Mne squares one-half inch high and wide upon the three and one-half by seven inch fromt panel. This done, divide the half-inch squares into quarter-inch squares and mark the por- tions to be cut away. Sharpen your knife point and, with a straight edge, hold the knife vertical and cut around the letters and border, the top ply deep. Then you can peel the top ply away from the pcrtions to remain. If the middle ply is of a light color, you will not need to stain the border and letters. If the three layers are of about the same color, then apply walnut stain to the front before the knife cuts are made and let it dry. Now when you peel away the surplus you will have a lovely two-ioned effect that is distinctive and very attractive. The rest of the work is simple. Dress down all around with sandpaper and then assemble the back, bottom and front as shown, using a best quality liquid glue to insure a perfect job. Small brads can be used to hold the pieces until the glue has dried. The glue, by the way, should be applied liberally. Then coat two Party on April 1.0 T you are giving an April Fool party, you will wish it to be just as foolish as possible.

We even find the custom among civilized peoples and sailors are sometimes gayly decorated on chest or arms. In tattooing, the design is pricked into the skin by means of an awl or 2 needle dipped into coloring matter. It is a painful process and in certain African tribes, it is a mark of courage in war.
