NEW PLACE CARDS

Almost any woman can make place
cards enough to carry her through the
winter IL she keeps her ewes open for
new ideas and trains her fingers to de-
velop the ideas she gets. If she can use
water colors cleverly, of course she is to
be envied. But even II she cannot use
water coIors she can make many sorts OF
place cards that are interesting and at
tractive.
Crinkled paper offers means of MAX
ing effective place cards. Any of the
decorated papers can be used. Roses can
be cut up and pasted to small white
cards or to oblongS or squares of water
paper or Bristol board. Other flowers
can be used in the same way, and but
terfies. small flags, pumpkins, or any
other sort of decoration can be used in
the same way for different occasions.
Tissue paper can be made into flowers
and each card can be decked with little
bunch of them, fastened on in some
pretty way. The flowers can be tied to-
gether by the stems with little silk
thread and then pasted on with little
ribbon bow; or piece of ribbon can be
threaded between two Sits in the card
and tied over the stems. To make the
flowers cut small squares-half a dozen
at a time-that measure about an inch.
Fold them-haf a dozen together-once
through the middle and then once again
TO make Q square half an inch in meas
urement. Then creased again from the
center to the corners of the squares. Thus
each square will be folded into eight
thicknesses Now round of the raw edge
and the long folded edge into a half
circle, thus making eight little rounded
petals attached at what was the center
of the square. Make each flower of two

violets, forget-me-nots or any other
known flower can be easily made of pa
pers of different colors.
