Evening Republican, Volume 18, Number 27, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 31 January 1914 — Pretty Shelves. [ARTICLE]

Pretty Shelves.

If you like dainty pantry shelves instead of using the scalloped paper edging Bold for that purpose which Is so easily torn and needs replacing every three or four weeks, buy India linen (ten cents a yard), cut it In bias strips and make long scant ruffles. The hems can be edged with cheap lace at one or two cents a yard and each ruffle sewed to a white tape as long as the shelves. A few goldheaded tacks fasten the ruffles to the edge of the shelf. This is easily removed for laundering and lasts two years.
