RIBBON ECONOMY.
If you want .« to trim anything with yards and yards of ribbon, you will find that it is not a cheap undertaking, unless, of course, you can pick up your ribbon at a bargain price' during a ; sale. One girl found for herself a way of compromising her requirements with the contents of her > purse. She bought a yard of marocain, satin, crepe de chin*, or almost any kind of silk material will do— and took it to be hemstitched. A series of parallel lines was hemstitched just as far apart as the width of the ribbon she required. When she got it back home again she snipped along the centre of each row of hemstitching and then she had ever eo many yards of pioot-edged strips that gave exactly the same effect as the more costly ; ribbon would hare done. * ' ' : ~ U, ' ':[■•■
