In all the wide range OF Christmas
present making there is nothing that
offers so many opportunities as the
pretty piece of ribbon found on the
remnant counters OF the stores. They
are comparatively inexpensive. and
the ingenious woman easily fashions
from them many a dainty and at.

ment or home decoration that will be

widths.
