WILL PLEASE A BOOKLOVER

Attractive and Inexpensive Gift That Serves Its Purpose to Perfection. An attractive and very inexpensive gift that is suitable either for a young person or fqv ap adult is a bookmark embrojdbfed with the name of the person (for whom it is intended. Either wid* or narrow ribbon can be used in making the bookmark and with the aid of papier mache initials which can be purchased in almost any store where embroidery materials are sold—even a young girl can make a really handsome one. If the ribbon is wide, as illustrated in the drawing,* the initials should be larger than where narrow ribbon is used. It is not desirable, however, to place a thick bookmark in an expensive book and for this reason many booklovers prefer a long, narrow ribbon marked with small initials at one end where they will never be shut inside the book. Such a marker can be made from- satin ribhen one inch wide, the length being from nine to twelve inches. Thin will

cost from five to eight cents. Three small papier mache initials will cost five cents, apd a skein of embroidery floss will cost four cents. Arrange the initials on the ribbon and baste them. Goad floss on white satin ribbon is very effective. Fringe the ends of the ribbon.
