The blank shown' in the drawings is of rectangular outline; but it is manifest that for the purpose of ornamentation it may be of any other desired shape, and this is true of each of its parts, so long as their respective Iictionsremain substantially unchanged. The aticle constructed as above described andV as shown in the` drawings. is

light, but at the same time strong and durable,

and even when constructed upon straight lines throughout, excepting where curves are necessary, itis of neat if not ornamental appearance. It.. may, however, be'made more ornamental by following the suggestion already given and changing they also by surface orshape of the parts and namentation. To still further enhance its appearance, a mirrorWmaybe placed opposite any or all of the openings resulting from displacing the partially-severed portions of the blank. This is particularly true of the j largvehopeningX below the shelf A.
