Button Place Cards.

At a children's party recently the
\ place cards were made with buttons
for faces. The table was decorated with
tulips, small Dutch toys were given for
favors and the button-faced children on
the cards were all Dutch.
To make these button cards first draw
the outline of a two-eyed button about
the size of a cent on the card and then
sketch in the rest of the body on the
proper scale Then stick the button in
place with fish glue.
| The button should be smooth and
should have two eyes, fairly large. The
flatter the button is the better. The face
is painted on the button-blue or brown

small pockets Of baby Irish lace are fas-

other distinctive trimming used on little

ed and looped into small roses. The roses
are fastened about the bottom of the
skirt and the edge Of the neck and
sleeves. and are sometimes also used on
the belt. Any thin white material can be
trimmed with ribbon roses applied in this
way. Ratine, of thin quality is used for
