THE BRIGHTER MATCHBOX
The ordinary matchbox is..not a particularly- decorative thing- to- have about a room, and the expensive boxes sold for matches have a way of not getting filled once the original contents have been used up (says a “Manchester Guardian” writer). However, one of the best-known firms of match-makers has solved Hie problem. This firm Is making gally-patterued little drums, about 2Ain. high and rather , more than an inch in diameter. This is a. useful size, as it is rather too large to be put in. the .pocket, so that there .is less chance' Of the absent-minded smoker acquiring the matches. The matches used to fill the drums have their heads in different colours—white, yellow, browns, bines, and greens, and the more ordinary rod,. making. quite a pretty pattern when the lid is -removed.
