Shelves for Books,
with the ends of the shelves turned up to hold the books in place. Fasten the lengthwise turned-down edge of the first shelf on the wall three-quarters of an inch below the high window in the living-room, and paste the other two shelves below at short distances apart.

You can easily make tiny books of several pieces of folded paper cut the desired size and sewed together through the centre fold. Hang red
Tissue Paper Curtains
in the living-room, white tissue-paper curtains in the bedroom, and yellow ones in the kitchen, as seen in [Fig. 447].
Little shelves over the tops of the doors may be made in like manner, also a cunning little three-cornered bracket to fit the corner of the room for holding a tiny Japanese vase of satiny yellow ware, the straight up-and-down kind, made of a three-fourth-inch length section of common straw pasted on a wee round disk of paper. Fill the vase with tiny red paper flowers fastened on broom-straws.
