On this page today is given an attractive
letter case suitable for a Christmas gift.
In using the printed design from the
paper the directions are as follows: Jf the
material is sheer, the easiest way is to lay
it over the design,' which will show
through plainly, and draw over each line
with a -hard, sharp lead pencil. If your
linen is heavy,, buy a piece of impression
paper the kind that does not rub off lay
It on your material, place the design over
It, and trace with a hard pencil. You will
find the design neatly transferred. In
transferring a design when only one part
is given, fold your linen so that the two
right sides come together. Between these
two sides insert two sheets of Impression
paper with the wrong sides toward each
other, then place your design on the
folded material and draw each line firmly
with a hard, sharp lead pencil. You will
find that both sides of the design are pro
duced on the linen.
