Working for Baby.

The wooden ribbon disc may be used as a basis for the reel needed for baby’s lingerie runners. Having pasted white satin of the correct size over the edge of the reel, trim the two flat surfaces with circles of cardboard, but a half inch larger than the foundation, first covering them smoothly on one side with white or cream satin and then glueing their under sides to the flat surfaces of the wooden reel. When perfectly dried, the girl who wields a paint brush may decorate the satin surfaces with representations of cherubs, or, if she hand-embroidere expertly, with sprays of fine flowers.
