An ordinary kitchen table can, with little trouble, be transformed into quite an elegant piece of furniture for the library. The top and legs are smoothly covered with green cloth; the seam on the legs to be neatly sewed, and the joining made on the inside of the leg that it may not show. It is then tacked at the top to hold it in place. The cloth is drawn smoothly over the top, and tacked all around the sides. The head-piece extending around the sides of the table must also be covered. An under-shelf is made of pine wood covered with cloth, and fitted securely to the legs about eight inches below the top. A heavy cord fringe of green worsted must be fastened around the edge of the top, also around the shelf, with brass-headed nails about an inch and a half apart. A castor fitted into each leg will finish a very handsome table for the parlor or library.
