Your COrsage Rose

The fad of wearing a single artificial
bloom, or tiny bouquet, is more marked
than ever this spring.
The single rose should be of satin and
delicately scented, and you can make a
most exquisite specimen for yourself with
little trouble. Indeed, a clever-fingered
girl would find them most profitable and
salable articles
Buy three-quarters of yard of soft
rose-crimson satin ribbon about three
inches wide. Cut the ribbon into five equal
lengths. Seam each length of ribbon to-
gether on the wrong side, leaving long
ends of thread instead of fastening off.
Turn the five-inch tube thus obtained
inside out and, folding in the edge of the
tube at one end, run a gathering thread
around. Draw 1t tight and the puckered
end will form the heart of your rose.
Now gather up each seam and push back
the ribbon on the long ends of the thread
to form the rose, Before fastening off
the threads, take needleful of yellow silk
floss and work some French knots In, the
puckered heart of the rose to represent
the plstil of the flower.
Finally mount the rose on a small
spray of artificial green leaves. and your
dainty corsage flower is complete.
