and Appreciated.
Priscilla Bag---Silk
Bedroom Slippers

The girl who has time for a little
fancy work at home. either making
things for herself or preparing for
Christmas. should start work on the
butterfly handkerchiefs.
They have been sold In the shops for
some time, imported from Paris and
costing quite bit of money.
A girl can make them at home If she
Is clever with her needle. II she has
been doing any of the butterfly ap-
plique in underwear which has been
the fashion this season she will be ex.
pert enough to start on this other
work.
The foundation is sheer fine hand
kerchief with a tiny hemstitched edge.
Either one or several butterflies are
cut from sheer colored silk null aud
applied to the linen.
They can be all Of one color or in
different colors and embroidered at
the edges and up the center to give
the coloring of real butterfly.
Some girls may prefer just one but
terfly with widespread wings in faint
color. such as lavender. pink. yellow
or blue.
If she makes a set for a Christmas
gift it will be pretty to put different
colored one on each handkerchief.

tonne, The sewing is all done at the
edges with good. firm stitches. and
then each edge Is neatly bound with
ribbon. galloon or braid to cover the

lining to cover the hat when placed In
the box. An embroidered monogram
in the corner of this square would
form dainty finish to the box.
