A SMART KETTLE-HOLDER.
Kettle-holders are, I think, the first things we essay to manufacture in our early days, and fearfully and wonderfully they are made for the most part '. But there is no reason why they should be so ugly. Some friends of mine have given me an excellent pattern, which is reproduced in my sketch. It is simply made from the outline of a good-sized vine-leaf. The material is thick Mollton flannel, grey in the inside, and olive green on
the outside. Several layers of the grey are cut to make it thick enough ; then, together with the green outsides, they are basted together, and the edges are button-holed in large stitches, and the veins run with silk. A loop of silk cord takes the place of the stem, and is very useful to hang it up bv. A more idealised form is one made of velveteen for a teapot, the handles of which are sometimes disagreeably hot.
