Diffeient shaped and colortd pin-cushions, fo become beautiful as well as useful addi ti?-us to one's bureau when cov ered by bit* of lace or muslin and tiny little bows of narro* ribbon, were to be seen. A pair of garters to be made from ruffled elastic, ten cents per yard, finished with dainty little bows, always proves an acceptable gilt. Sufficient ribbon and pins may be purchased for ten cents to make one of those useful contrivancecalled a pin lenilei. These hp very easily made.
