Crepe Paner Glfts.

For those who cannot afford to ex.
pend very much money ON materials.
there Is nothing more satisfactory
for fancy work than the making Of
objects Of braided crepe paper. This
material costs but few cents. unless
ribbons and silk or satin are used in
combination with the paper. The
work Is of the utmost simplicity. al.
though the finished product appears
to be an imposing piece of work. One
does not realize just how easy II is
to fashion these crepe paper things
until one has started out to do the
work and has the materials In the
hands. --Harper's Razar.
