HANGING HOLDER TOR FERN

With Plant, It Makes One of the Prettiest Ornaments That Can Be Provided for the Home. There are certain windows, a window at the end of a hall for instance, in which a fern suspended from the

ceiling always looks very pretty, and we give a sketch of a dainty little holder to use for this purpose that can be made without difficulty. The size must be determined by the size of the pot that is to be placed upon .it

For its construction a circular piece of fairly thick wood will be required and three holes made in it in the positions indicated in diagram A on the right of the illustration. Too these holes are fastened three pieces of fine copper wire, the ends of which are carried upwards and twisted into a loop by which the holder may be, hung up. _ The surface of the wood is covered with dark green silk, the material being turned over and fastened on, underneath with tiny tacks, and diagram B illustrates this. To the edges of the wood soft silk of an old gold color is fastened , on, also with tiny tacks. The material is allowed to hang downwards and then gathered together in the center and finished off with a gold silk tassel. To complete the holder, narrow dark green silk braid is fastened on round the edge of the wood with brass-head-ed nails of a fancy pattern driven in close together.
