DAINTY LITTLE PEN WIPER

Can Be Made From Old Dress Pattern or Almost Any Kind of Discarded Remnant. New ideas for dainty little pen wipers are alw'ays welcome, as they are articles that can be made from old dress patterns or almost any kind of small remnants of material and they always find a ready sale at a bazaar. We give a sketch of a pretty little hanging pen wiper that can be quick-

ly made. It measures two inches in width at the top and three inches in width at the bottom, and it is three inches in length. t Our sketch clearly shows the shape lu which it should be cut out, and for the interior any kind of small pieces of material can be utilized. The cover la made of dark green

cloth and the design that appears upon it and which can quite well be worked from our illustration is embroidered with silk of an old rose color. The pieces of material are cut into points at the base of the pen wiper, and they are securely bound together at the top with a strip of black kid and possibly a portion of an old glove may be used for this purpose. For suspending the pen wiper from a nail in the wall, or perhaps one of the handles of the drawers in the writing table, an ordinary key ring is sewn on in the center at the top.
