Lace ONar Geld.

An original idea ~ the sewing or
crocheting of fine lace very tightly
over large gold collar pins OF plain
pattern. The suggestion may be ex-
tended TO all sorts OF fiat gold or silver
jewclry. such as belt buckles, hatpins.
etc. 1t would be very pretty. too. in
an open pattern over the popular hand
painted china pins. An inexpensive
set of pins may by this method be
turned into very valuable and beauti-
full things.
