Show When Ingenuity Takes Place of Money, The girl had no writing desk in her room and no money to buy the exquisite ex-quisite mahogany one for which she yearned. But she had ingenuity and she had determination and she naue up her mind that somehow she must repair .this lack. She did 83 by buying a kitchen table, a small one, for the large sum of SS cents. She painted the legs of this white, covered the top of It with green denim, placed a fascinating blotter framed in cretonne and some pretty brass desk things on it and the desk was finished. Then she had two book shelves fastened on the wall above It On these she placed a bronze bust of Dante and soma of her favorite volumes, vol-umes, and lo, at a trifling expense had made a very pretty and convenient corner for her den. |
