A Number of Uses TO Which the Octave

An ordinary octave envelope is COM

making articles whose use and beauty
will surprise you. When the 2svelope
has been ungummed, lay it fat on a
sheet Of water color paper and draw the
pattern lightly with pencil, charging it
10 any dimensions. but keeping the pro-
portion of parts. Cut out with scissors
or knife all but the outer flaps; those
are to have torn edges Fold the new
envelope in shape, cumming it all ex-
cept the last flap. When dry, shade the
front and back with cobalt blue in water
color, from deep color on one side to
palest blue on the other. Then lay
aside to dry while you are preparing a
sheet Of cotton wadding just large
enough to fill it.
This is pulled apart. some sachet pow

envelope three or four large daisies, out
lining the petals with deep cobalt blue.
The centers are indicated by dash of
gliding. and the edges Of the envelope
are finished with it also, tiny line,
scarcely showing unless one looks at the
edge. Insert the perfuned cotton, seal
the envelope and put an irregular splash
of gold TO represent the seal If you
wish, print in fancy gold lettering on the
front some appropriate words. This
idea can be carried out with different
colored paints, lavender, for example,
when heliotrope or violet perfume is
used, rose color with rose powder, etc.
The flowers TO correspond may be paint

The covers are half of and half on the

down, perhaps, on the table, perhaps on

flowers are faded IN the glasses where
the water has never been renewed; the

is out of place, and If you take book you
feel you must replace it TO within hairs
