worth describing. Two pieces of card

cred first with perfumed cotton and
then with silk or satin, not necessarily
alike If the contrast is good. though the
effect is better If the two forming the
lining match. Overland all around the
circles and cover the stitches with a
fine silk cord, then connect the two by
means of bow of narrow ribbon and
sew in flannel leaves pinked on their
edges for holding the needles. The
ties are of ribbon, and at this stage
very fine lace edged doilies the size OF
the needlebook are sewed invisibly to
the outer parts of the covers. This Is
a dainty addition to the workbox az
