ROSE PETALS.
Ehey May Be Used to Make Delicate Per-
fume Bags.

Ehey May Be Used to Make Delicate Per
fume Bags.
To save your rose petals and make a
rosebag for your room would be de-
lightful.
While the rose is still fresh tear off
Its petals and scatter them thinly on a
large platter. In this way expose them
to the light. Every few hours pick up
q handful and let them shower down,
30 as to expose both sides of the petals.
The next day put them on different
platter, or you may use the same one
provided YOU are careful to thoroughly
dry it, for the plate viii be very moist.
The second day sprinkle little salt over
the petals. as this helps to purify them.
Keep this treatment up until they arc
all dry, then put them in thin mus
lin bag.
Cover the bag with velvet, yellow. or
pink china silk. as best suits the color of
your room. Tie it close at the top. as
you would tie any other bag, and sus-
pend it on a rocl1ing-chair back. gas
fixture or any convenient place. twill
prove an attractive ornament as well as
convey delicate odor. Use inch-wide
satin ribbon. the same color as the silk
to tie the bag. Make a generous bow,
with ends of irregular length. Cut the
ends pointed or slanting, and this pre-
vents the ribbon fraying.
Another way to use rose petals after
they are dried would be to lay them be-
tween two pieces of pink cheese cloth.
cut the exact size of your bureau
drawer. After the petals are in place.
knot the cheese cloth about two inches
apart, all she way down and across with
tiny bows of baby-wfdth pink ribbon.
This will help to keep the petals even;
otherwise they would lay in heap Al
one end. Put such piece under your
linen, and have it perfumed with roses.
1t will take a great many roses to
make either fair-sized bag or drawer
pad. but the dried petals may be saved
and added to until you have enough.
Keep them in a tightly covered china or
glass receptacle. Never dry the petals
on brass or other metals; dry them on
marble, china or glassware.
In the same way that rose petals are
used. try sweet marjoram. lavender or
other pleasantly-scented herbs or
grasses. Besides being a delight TO the
eye and conveying delicate perfume.
they may also serve as reminder OF a
pleasant gift or enjoyable entertain
ment.
Try also balsam. pine or hop bags.
Make small ones not over ten inches
long; cover with pretty silk. knot on
narrow ribbon ola shade either compile
mentary or 10 match. and suspend such
from chair back. doorknob. or curtain
fixture.
A delicious bag would be made of
pea-green silk or the green of the pine
itself. and enlivened by a net work of
gold silk. the strings for which should
be gold-colored satin or bullion thread
