AN IDEAL POUFFE
Ey using an empty-keg a most decorative little pouffe can be made, states the "Cape Times." Stuff the top well with coir. Cover tightly and firmly with cretonne, fastening it down with drawing pins. Make a frill round the top end.
Cover the rest with the same or corresponding cretonne well gathered in, also fastening by means of drawing pins. The bottom end can be finished off with a braid or left plain.
This makes an ideal pouffe at the fireplace, and is most decorative for the bedroom.
Mahogany logs have been known to fetch more than £1000 apiece on the open market, while a single stump of black walnut, 10ft long, found in Virginia, recently fetched £800. Ordinarily, however, the choicest kind of walnut tree, used for making gramophone and wireless cabinets, costs from £80 to £100.
