Dear Mr. Slagle:

     In your letter dated May 14, 1991, on behalf of Rosenthal-

classification ruling.

      The following samples were submitted:

	  1. Item 8411 is a hexagonal shaped jewelry box
             composed of a cardboard base covered with
             polyester woven fabric on the outside.  It has a
             detachable lid which is covered with the same              
             fabric.  The lid has a metal bow attached to the
             outside.  The interior of the box contains no
             compartment and is neither specially shaped nor
             fitted for jewelry.

          2. Item 8402 is a bound book with blank pages which are
             lined and captioned for the entry of addresses and
             telephone numbers.

             outside.  The detachable lid is padded on the              
             outside and has a rectangular mirror mounted on
             the inside.  The interior of the box contains no
             compartment and is neither specially shaped nor
             fitted for jewelry.
