CASE FOR KEEPING RIBBONS

Cardboard Covered to Denote the Various Shades la the Foundation of the Article.

I make my cases to hold two rolls of baby ribbon, but, of course, < they can be made to hold as many as one likes.

First I cut out four rounds of cardboard. white, especially if a light shade of material is to be used as a covering for it. These rounds should

be three-quarters of an inch 14rge¥ in diameter than the roll of ribbons. 1 buy the rolls first and then measure. Supposing that you buy pink ribbon. Make a pink and white case to go with it Cut out two rounds of the pink material for the outside and two of the white for the lining, allowing a good half-inch of the material everywhere to turn over the edge.

Cover two rounds of cardboard with> white and two with the pink material,, then overcast a white and a pink to-! gether (the bare sides of the cardboards, of course, being on the oofside), when you will have two completely covered rounds. If a brocaded material is used 11 will not need to be embroidered, tmt with a plain material a small spray of flowers and leaves worked on the pink material before it is attache 1 to the cardboard is a great improvement. A line pink cord sewn on to the* edge of the case makes a neat finish. - and I sometimes put a narrow frill of lace —Boston Globe.
