FOR A PRIZED PHOTOGRAPH

Pretty Frame Not at All Hard to Construct and an Attractive Adjunct to Boudoir. % A pretty little photograph frame containing the portrait of the donor makes a most acceptable gift, and dainty frames can be easily made at home In a great variety of shapes and designs. In the accompanying sketch may be seen quite a simple frame,

that even a novice can undertake without fear of failure. In making It, when the else has been decided upon, a square piece of thick carboard should be obtained, and a dr cular bole cut exactly in the center, then that side which Is to be the front is padded with a thin layer of cotton wool, and smoothly covered with pink silk, upon which the design shown has been worked in various shades of

green. The material can be turned over at the edges and fastened on at the back with Seccotlne, or some other strong adhesive. Diagram A illustrates this. A small brass ring is attached to the top at the back by means of a loop of tape and a little glue, and a glance at diagram B shows how this can be done. The frame Is entirely outlined with a dark green silk cord of a fancy pattern carried into a loop at each corner, turned inwards. The photograph, with a piece of glass arranged in front of it, can be placed behind the opening and secured In Its place by packing a piece of dark green paper across the back, with the result shown In diagram C. Diagrams D and E give the detail of the embroidery, E Illustrating the four leaves at the top of the frame, and D a section of the chain of leaves that runs round the opening. \
