A number of girls are making for
envelope gifts this year little lingerie
clasps. They are made OF tiny straps
Of narrow val insertion with a little
frill OF lace about the size of nickel
sewed to one end, and the tiniest of
snaps sewed to each end so they will
snap around the straps of the lin
gerie and hold them all together in
place. On this little gathered circle
of the lace is embroidered little
old-fashioned nosegay in colored
french knots. A little three-cornered
sachet made of white linen, en-
broidered to match with a gilt safety
pin sewed to the back with which to
pin it to the chemise or camisole
often goes with these clasps.
