a RLOTTER covKR.

A very attractive little hanging pin
holder can be made of cardboard, dec
Grated linen and a small piece of vel
vet. Cover with linen two pieces of
cardboard inches wide and Az inches
high, using the illustration to obtain
the shape. One of the pieces of linen
should be embroidered or painted with
a little spray of flowers. Place the
cards back to back and overcast them
together all around the edge. Cut an
other piece Of cardboard two inches in
diameter and with bran or fine saw
dust make a small pincushion covered
with muslin IN the shape of mush-
room top. Cover the cushion with vel
vet and fasten il to the heart shaped
cardboard pieces with glue. Stick pins
all around the edge and finish the cush-
ion with bows and ribbon to hang
1t up. The center cushion may be used
for scarfpins.
A bag to hold a pack of cards is an
acceptable present for anybody who
plays. TO make one, cut piece of
cardboard the size of the end of pack
of cards, cover it with muslin and then
with the material of which the bag Is
made.
