Girls, here is the very thing to
give your chum for Christmas,
and you can easily make it your
self. Take piece of substantial
silk 10 inches wide and five inch
es in depth, and embellish it with
ribbon, embroidery in simple de-
sign. Sew the narrow ends to-
gether and line with very thin
silk. Make a double hem about
two-thirds of the way to the top,
and run through it a slender silk
cord or narrow ribbon. Edge the
top of the bag with narrow lace.
Glue the bottom of the bag in tiny
pleats to the back of the 2x3-inch
mirror, being careful not to touch
the mercury. After this is done
and while it is drying, cut piece
of thin pasteboard the size of the
pad 1t with little cotton,
cover with the lining silk, and
