Lavender Bags.

When you buy lavender, be sure
that you are getting only the flowers

termixture of stems and leaves-for
the fragrance will last twice as long
II you buy judiciously. The prettiest
bags are made about three inches wide
and four inches long. made of gauze
ribbon with the edges fringed instead
Of hemmed. If it is three-inch rib
bon you can simply fasten the edges
together with some fancy stitch. and
the bag will be finished quickly. But
a daintier way is to use inch-wide rib
bon, which usually has a finer and
more delicate design, and faggot the
three widths together with the finest
twisted embroidery silk. Then the
