PRETTY IDEA FOR EGG COSY

Simple Design Worked In Beads la Decoration for One Shown in Illustration.

Either for use at home or sale In a bazaar, new and pretty ideas for egg cosies are always welcome, and In our sketch we show a neat little cosy, decorated with a simple design worked in beads, and trimmed with a bead

fringe that reaches almost to tha base of the egg cup. The cosy is made very much in the shape of a miniature tea-cosy, and is cut out in two pieces and sewn together at the edges. A silk cord covers tte seam and la carried into three loops at the top. The Interior can be lined with two or three thicknesses of flannel, and the bead fringe added to complete It. The head fringe Is made of separate strings of ten beads, eight small beads with a large one In the center and another at the end. The success of the cosy will. In a great measure, depend upon the colors of the materials chosen for the making of It, and when Intended for home use It Is a nice Idea to choose the colors to match or harmonize with the breakfast service with which It Is likely to appear.
