Attractive Table Stands for Hot Dishes

Attractive stands which will preserve the dining table from injuries, or heat marks made by hot dishes, can be easily made from thin pieces of board cut oblong or oval. After the board has been cut the proper size, cleats are fastened to the underside to which billiard-cue tips are attached to serve as supports. The stand should be varnished and waxed to match the table.—George L. Furse, St. Louis, Mo.
