FOR KEEPING CROCHET WORK

Little Bag That la Almost a Necessity When One Is Fond of That Pastime. A little bag is ao useful for keeping cm< 'tet or knitting in. as the work Keeps so much cleaner than if left lying about as It is. A very dainty little bag for the purpose can be made from a mercerized handkerchief with a cojpred border, which may be bought for a few cents. Very little else is required, only Just

a little white tape, two pieces of whalebone and a little baby ribbon. To make the bag, lay the handkerchief out flat, and along the top and bottom of It, an inch from the border, run a piece of tape, as a slot for the whalebone to go through. Now fold the handkerchief exactly in two, and seam np the side to where the tape ends. The whalebones must not be long as the tape, but the ends of the whalebone must be fastened under ends of

the tape, when the handkerchief will look as If slightly gathered. That la all there is to do, except that it need* two little loops of baby ribbon, one on the center at each side. These form I the handies. Bows can be added to the corners.
