THE WORK CORNER.

A CASE TO HOLD PHOTOGRAPHS. Photograph cases have been evolved through many forms into cluster panels of varied shapes. The double panel, with a series of pockets, in each of which three or four pictures may be held, is simple and sensible, and easy to make. The folds are of heavy cardboard, with curved top and foot-rests. It would be better to have these cleanly cut by some frame-maker. The size and shape can be first made in brown paper as a pattern. Cover the back panel with a pretty figured India silk or cretonne. A thin wadding is sometimes laid over the edges to prevent wear. Cover the front panel across the top, low enough to go under the first pocket. The pocket strips are of thin card-board or Bristol-board. These are covered separately and placed on the panel so as to overlap each other half an inch. Glue the pockets to the panel and place, face down, under heavy weights until quite dry ; then glue the back to the front in the same way. The panels are joined by ribbon bows ; the ends may be glued in when placing the panels together. Single photograph frames of cardboard covered with white duck or tinted silk, embroidered with a network of gold or delicate silk. The openings for the pictures are all sorts of unique shapes—round, oval, pointed, heart, or lyric curves.
