A Washstand for the Baby

To make this washstand, I mounted a cheese box on a frame 20 in. from the floor, and fitted a shelf between the legs 9 in. from the floor. In the center of this shelf a hole was cut, with a compass saw, to hold a wash basin. Rods between the legs are handy for towels, washcloths, etc. Within the circular box are kept baby’s toilet and bath articles. The inside of the box is padded with cotton and lined with nainsook, the latter being used, also, for the cover. When the cover is on the box, the stand is used as a small table. White enamel gives the stand a neat finish.—F. E. Brimmer, Dalton, New York.
