TO HANG OVER THE MIRROR

Practical-Hatpin Holder That la AJ» Ways H«ndy and Not Likely to Be In the Way. Our sketch illustrates a practical little hatpin holder for hanging over the post of the looking-glass, that can be made with the aid of one of those cardboard cylinders that are so often used for sending unmounted photographs thtough the post. They may be obtained from almost any stationer at a trifling coat. The cardboard is neatly covered with silk, gathered into a tiny frill

at each end, and upon which the word "hatpins” is worked. The cylinder Is further ornamented with bands of ribbon tied tightly round either side and finished off with smart little bows. Sewn at the back of these bands is a long loop of ribbon with a rosette bow for suspending the holder from the glass. Inside a ball of cotton Wool Is pressed well Into the center so that it is in no way via* lble, and through this wool the pins can he thrust from one side of the holder and held securely in theilr places. A glance at the sketch will explain this, and diagram A illustrates . the cardboard cylinder prior to being covered with silk.
