a Daintv Ribbon Dos.

Anyone who has upset all her ribbon
baskets, trinket boxes and dressing ia-
BILE drawers in search of the mar.
row ribbons which she uses as draw.
strings for her lingerie would hail with
delight a dainty little box designed ex-
pressly for such as she. The box IT.
self is just big enough to hold two large
spools, on which are wound satin rib-
bon. The box is covered with inier-
woven ribbon of two or more tints and
lined with white soft silk; on the inner
side Of the cover an ivory bodkin is
fastened. The two big spools are wound
with bebe ribbon, one in blue and one
in white OF one pink and one blue
or both white, according TO ones fancy.
Not until one has tastedrth joy Of hav-
ing a place especially designed for
those tagling, elusive, narrow ribbons
and a bodlxin that can be found when
wanted can the comfort and conven-
ience of these pretty trifes be appre-
ciated.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
