-BlIDt' A DAINTY TEA TRAY ''ret'.y Thing Evo.-ed by Clever Girl in a Most Economical and Simple Sim-ple Mannvp. A novel and most economical way to make a pretty tea-tray vas discovered dis-covered by a girl who Is very Uever with her wits and her fingers.' She first purchased for forty cents a large oval picture frame from a secondhand second-hand store, securing a very good bit of natural old woodwork. Then with a bottle of stain, some sand-paper and a little varnish she polished up the wood to look like new, then screwed on two brass handles, one at each end, afterwards after-wards cutting a piece of pretty cretonne cre-tonne the same size as the glass, and pasting it smoothly where the picture would ordinarily go. Covering It with the boards that belong to the frame, tacked securely into place, the entire back then being covered with a piece of felt, when she found herself possessed, pos-sessed, of a most fetching tea-tray, which in the shops would cost from $5 to $8. .
