Within the outlined deeign heavy

and can secure one of like pattern,
you can readjust it with a small piece
of sealing wax or chemlng gum If
the top comes off tho pin, attach It
with glue or hot rosin. Velvet gems
with screw ends, such as are used
In combs, can be thrust througb vel

flat against the velvet.
Desirable plain material which
would be neat with border edge may
be atenclled and made modish. A
