inexpensive Sachets.

Sachets to impart a delicate and
delicious fragrance to the lingerie are
almost a necessity to the dainty
woman, and, while externally these
may be made of very inexpensive ma
ter1als, 1T is absolutely necessary that
the various odors nused should be the
pest and purest it is possible to OBJ
tam, says Mary Foster Snider in the
Womans Home Companion.
The most convenient way to make
these sachets is in a size that will ex-
actly cover the bottom of the drawers
they are intended to perfume. ANY
thin, loose-textured material. from
cheesecloth to china silk, is suitable
Tor the outside covering, but the most
inexpensive of these may also prove
the prettlest If little care is taken
IN making them. Cut the material the
desired size, place over it a thin layer
OF cotton batting, and haste it lightly
IN place, then sprinkle rather thicklv
with the preferred sachet. Adjust the
top piece, haste or pin it in place. hav-
ing the pins or stitches quite close to-
gether to keep the batting in uosition
