FOR HANDY ONES.

FOR HANDY ONES.

I am sending you an idea I find very handy. I am "studying a secondary course at home, and have a small room I call my “den,” in which I do most of my work. You know how easily papers and books slip unnoticed on to the floor. Then I’d get a long lecture on tidiness, etc., and find my books neatly placed in the bookcase, and papers burned. This is what I made. A benzine box on side, two tine each cut open at side, handles to front. These slip in and out of box like drawers. Then a larger case on top. In this I put two . shelves. I stained it all with sixpenny worth of Vandyke brown, and on searching the store-room discovered half a tin of black stove-pipe enamel. With this I blackened the tin drawers. I find this very useful. The top is a desk. All the books I use can be replaced as I use them, and my papers are in the drawers, well away from spring cleaners.— Dudley Oole.
