gowns, but are not being used at
present. In arranging this box the
different articles should be together
in separate boxes which fit inside the
larger box The laces should be
cleaned if necessary, and wound on
pieces of cardboard. The ribbons also
rolled on cardboard, which snooths
out the wrinkles. The velvet and
silks are to be loosely folded. The
furs should be put in sealed tar bags
or sealed boxes. Now to go back to
the original idea. If in this box you
have a piece of short-haired fur, or
an old muff which has become worn
in places you can make it into pretty
revers and cuffs or narrow inner
vest, by applying cut pieces of rather
heavy lace over the worn parts. and
outlining them with gold thread. With

lace applique is extremely pretty.
A lovely and effective portiere for
bedroom may be made by applying
the flower design of cretonne to some
solid colored material. Denim is
good and inexpensive fabric, but as

large flowers and leaves. These are
cut out and basted TO the portiere,
care being taken to arrange them in a
graceful position, running up the cur

applied to the portiere with silk in
long and short buttonhole stitch, the
colors used matching the flowers and
leaves. The color of the cretonne Sc
lected should depend upon the room in
which the hanging is to be used. Sofa
pillows made in the same way are
pretty. and they do not take nearly
as long to make. Bed spreads may
be made in this style also by applying
the flowers of white or color.
