A case made in the form of Fig. 1 will be suitable for holding jewels, gloves, and handkerchiefs. It is 14in. by 8 in. by 9 in. deep, and contains two drawers, one to receive handkerchiefs and one to receive gloves. The upper part is fitted with a tray to lift out; this is to hold jewellery. Pigs. 3 and 4 are plans of the two drawers. Fig. 2 is a plan of the tray; the centre part A is movable, and is arranged to hold a watch, the latter lying on a cushion formed on a piece of 3/16-in. wood. The part at the back is left open to allow the watch chain to fall into the drawer or box underneath the cushion. The back part of the tray is fitted with four compartments to receive trinkets, etc.; the side parts marked B, with ribbon loops, are for pins, brooches, etc.; the sides marked C are slotted to receive rings, etc. The whole of the interior is covered with velvet plush, the inside of cover of the case is fitted with a bevelled mirror, and the sides are lined with plush, and buttoned. If a smaller case is required, make a box in the ordinary manner, and fit it with a tray as Fig. 2, omitting a compartment in length. To line the drawers of the glove box rebate the inner upper edge of the drawers as shown in the accompanying sketch, and after fixing the lining A, fix in the bead B. T is the top edge of the division and T the front of the box. The divisions should stand lower than the upper edge, and in covering, the lining should be stretched over the top edge, the raw edges being carried to the bottom. Glue, if used thick, will not spoil the pile; if used in a thin state, the glue will percolate through the foundation, and so spoil the velvet.
