TINKERBELL'S VALENTINE.
"Please, Mr. Printerman," begged Tinkerbell, "can I have just one tiny bit more space?" "But you've got quite a lot already/' said Mr. Printerman, trying to hide a
smile.' "Oh! but this is something extra special," said Tink, "just a line or two will be enough." "All right then—but only a line." And that, girls, is how we happen to have an extra little corner this week. I hope you'll agree that it's worth while when you read my directions for making a Valentine sachet for mother. This is what you have to do. Choose some soft material, red silk or satin would be ideal, and cut two heartshaped pieces out of it. Machine these two pieces together, and turn them right side out. Remember to leave a small opening near the top for filling.
Stuff the heart with soft cotton wool, poking it well into the corners. When you stuff it, put some sachet powder in it, along with the cotton.
Sew up the opening, and put a tiny frill of white lace all the way around tlio heart. This little Valentine, placed in a dresser drawer, will perfume the clothing, hankies, or scarves which are kept there.
