very widely felt, for the photograph
habit still prevails and has gained a
yet stronger hold since amateur photog-
raphy has become so favorite pastime
There is a great demand for photograph
holders of all kinds, and very simple
one is illustrated, which may easily be
made at home. Such a gift at Christ
mas is never ont of place.
For cabinet photograph piece of
satin ribbon about inches wide and 10
or 10 inches long is required, and also
some ribbon to match, about an inch
wide. The large strip of ribbon is
fringed at each end for three-quarters
Of an inch. Two inches above what is
to be the lower end a band of the mar
row ribbon is carried straight across
and stitched along the lower edge, the
ends being firmly sewed to the edges Of
the wide ribbon. Five inches a bove this
another band of ribbon is carried across,
but the ends only are fastened to the
wide ribbon. Then the photograph may
be passed down behind the upper band,
the lower edge being slipped into the
support formed by the lower band The
fringed top of the wide ribbon is gath
cred together and tied with bow Of
narrow ribbon, which affords loop by
which the photograph holder may be
suspended.
