A TABLE NAPKIN RING.

A nice present to make and one lich even a grown-up will like very uch and find most useful, is a tablepkin ring, made of suede leather in pretty colour, and threaded with a ntrasting colour for decoration. The ig is really quite simple to make, ougli it needs .some care in cutting e sdts for threading. For size yin lj-in will do nicely, and a srtip of ede- leather must be cut to these iasurements. At least a quarter of inch from the edge of the strip, the ts must be made all along. They e made down each side and exactly posite one another. A penknife is e best instrument to use for cutting, d it must be slowly done, on a hard rfac-e. as it is very easy to make the t too big, and so spoil the regularity the threading. The long, narrow •ip's of the second colour for th read- £ should next be cut. and each oulcl be about Sin..long to allow the els to be tied into a bow. The reading may be done with a ribbon reader, or even by means of a safety i with a flat head. When the whole the two lines has been threaded, 11 the narrow strips as tightly as ssible, and then fasten up the ends form the ring. One or two colour rgestions are cherry with grey lacj, jade green with fawn, or brown til orange, but there are many soft ides in suede leather to choose from.
