DAINTY HOLDER FOR SPILLS

Ornamental Receptacle Of Mae In Households Where Economical w Ways Are Practiced. r There Is, better way of utilizing old letters or half sheets of paper than tearing them up mid folding them into spills, which are a great saving of matches; it is necessary to make some kind of holder for them, and In our sketch may be seen a dainty little article of this description. For making it, a piece of stiff cardboard is cut out In the shape shown In the diagram on the right hand side,

and about 4 inches in width and 7% inches in height will be found a good size In which to carry it out The cardboard Is smoothly covered with silk sewn securely together at the edges, and then the piece of material which forms the pocket may next be in its place; it should be lined with soft silk. But prior to doing this, however, the floral design must be embroidered upon it, and this may easily be worked from our. lllustra tion or some pretty design tniglit be painted. The holder is entirely outlined wjth a silk cord of a fancy pattern carried into three little loops at the top and bottom and again on either side. The holder can be suspended from a nail in the wall by the center loop of the silk cord at the top.
