This little article for the toilet-table is recommended not only by its novelty of shape, but for its being so admirably well adapted to take its place in the front of a looking glass, when the space is too limited to allow of one of the entire circle. A small box of the form which will be seen in our engraving can be easily purchased, having the cushion on the top of its lid, and being covered and lined with either a pink calico or a silk of the same or some other bright tint. Immediately below the rim of the opening of this box is a frill of the same material as the covering, just the same depth as the box.  The half circular portion on the top is to be worked on net, the flowers being all in satin stitch.  The twisted bar across the top is in sewn over lines, with solid spots worked in the under divisions, and the upper part in a kind of herringbone-stitch. The ribbon bows have a double line of fine chain stitch at each edge, with a row of dots between, and in the middle a row of diamonds, run in with a spot in the center of each. The flower or rosette at each end of the bar has its outline in chain stitch, filled in with solid spots.  No. 20 will be found the proper cotton for the embroidery of this pincushion.  We have only to add that a quilling of ribbon is to be carried round the edge of the lid, together with a little loop in the center by which to lift it up.
