is a thoughtful gift, and any little

the two rounds with bit of pretty
bright silk. The chamois leaves are
cut a wee bit smaller than the leather
covers, and all are threaded on a bit
of baby ribbon tied with a bow. A
very nice penwiper is on the same
order as the cleaner, except that the
rounds are cut larger and the leaves
are made of cloth, the threading to-
gether being exactly In the center In
