A GIRL AND HER HAT-BOXES.

A girl who is never weary of thinking out ideas for pretty arrangements and convenient methods for the home has covered all her hat-boxes with flowered -French paper, and to save the trouble of taking down some of the boxes from their shelves every time she needs .their contents, she has proceeded in this way with her largest hat-boxes. She stood the box to be treated on the kitchen table and cut one side of it right down, near both edges, right and left, leaving this damaged side attached to the bottom of the-box, where it hung with a sort of hinged effect. Then- she put two of her hats in the box and placed the latter on its shelf (not a very high one), after having put on the lid of the box and keeping the cut side facing outwards. The box thus presented quite an ordinary appearance. • When the girl wants a hat from the box she lifts the front of the cover a wee bit, releasing the cut sidefront, and lo! this drops down flat, and she can easily remove a hat from the box without taking the latter from the shelf and running the risk of knocking down an ornament or anything else that is near. One box that .she has thus treated has lasted at least a year, even though the fringe has had frequent use.
