When mother lets us make paper box furniture

THE TABLE SCARF.

Your library table you’ll want to keep smooth,

And free of all scratches from books;

Make a scarf then of velvet or linen or felt,

And see how attractive it looks.

You can, if you wish, hem both of the ends,

And embroider or stencil them, too;

Then, if across the table you lay it,

The top will keep shiny and new.
