Woven Ribbon Pillow

Nothing adds more to the cosy
appearance of room than plenty
OF sofa cushions. Homemade pill
lows are generally more pleasing
than those bought in the shops,
and they are also much less ex-
pensive.
The woven ribbon pillow is one
of the prettiest new models. The
cover is woven like a splint market
basket of two strips of inch wide
ribbon in harmonizing or contrast
ing shades. The cushion is gen.
orally finished with a ribbon ruff
file. Made of five yards of five
inch ribbon.
If desired a double ruffle can be
used, wide one of the lighter col
or shown in the cover and a mar
row one of the darker shade. A
silk cord may be used as a finish
ing, but it is not as pretty as the
ruff1e.
Three-quarter sof q yard of silk
Is required for the back of the pill
low.

man. I'm dying for a glimpse of
"a pretty grill"
His brown eyes were good and

hesitated. 1t Is not well to remind
a man sick with swamp fever in a
camp hospital at the edge of no

But Russell saw and UNDER
