have a square piece cut out from each corner almost the same size as the
posts. When setting the sides together the end board and posts can be
doweled and glued together and after drying well the posts can be
spread apart far enough to insert the bottom rail and two slats. The
rail and slats should be tried for a bit before putting on any glue,
which may save some trouble.

After the sides are put together, the back is put in and glued. The top
is then put on and fastened with cleats from the inside. The partitions
are put in as shown and the door fitted. Two drawers are made from the
ends and the soft wood material. The drawer ends may be supplied with
wood pulls of the same material or matched with metal the same as used
for the hinges.

[Illustration: Mirror Frame and Standards Details]

The pieces for the mirror frame must be rabbeted 1/2 in. deep to take
the glass, and the ends joined together with a miter at each corner. The
two short posts are tenoned and mortises cut in the bottom piece for
joints and these joints well glued together. The bottom piece is then
fastened to the top board of the stand. This will form the standards in
which to swing the mirror and its frame. This is done with two pins
inserted in holes bored through the standards and into the mirror frame.

After the parts are all put together, cleaned and sandpapered, the stand
is ready for the finish.

A MISSION WASTE-PAPER BASKET

[Illustration: Waste-Paper Basket to Match Library Table]

The basket shown in the accompanying sketch is designed to be used with
a library table having slats in the ends and wooden handles on the
drawers. The finish is made to match that of the table by fuming, when
completely assembled, in a large-size size, clean garbage can, with
fumes of concentrated ammonia.

[Illustration: Detail of Waste-Paper Basket]

The following quarter-sawed white-oak stock should be procured in the
exact dimensions given. This may be had, planed and cut to lengths, from
a mill for a slight extra charge. It is advisable not to have them
sandpapered, as the very coarse sandpaper generally used, gives a bad
surface for finishing.
