CAMOUFLAGE
Camouflage takes many forms, the most familiar of which Is the covering of the telephone with a crinoline lady. But latterly a more solid form is coming into vogue, and old leather book covers are reproduced to hide a multitude of things. The attraction about It Is that the covers really are made of beautiful leather, so that they succeed in their purpose. Three volumes make a capital box in which to install the telephone, and there Is a matching cover to take the telephone directory. Two volumes open to disclose a stationery box and blotter; another volume forms a cigarette box, and the paper basket is composed of open books standing upon their ends. Thus it is possible to furnish the writing table completely to match. Bridge boxes, decanter stands and work baskets are a few of the other items made to this design.
