Photograph Holders Handsome Case For The Preservation Of Sun Drawn Portraits

Photographa today are in highest fatot, as well as in the greatest perf ection, and they may be made in all sorts of attractive designs. The open fan design is a particularly pretty one, and wonld be an appropriate gift to a young man who possessed photographs of all the rcigning belles in his own locality. It enables one to sort one's friends, as it were, and place them where they belong, according to the sentiment on the square shield. A heavy piece of cardboard is easily ent in shape of an open fan by spreading one upon it as a pattern the size you may desire. Then seven squares should be cut two inches and a half square. A light piece of cotton wadding should be laid over the fan piece and the squares. This may be delicately sached with orchid powder or white rose. If skillfnl with the brush and water colors painfc a spray of cllmatis or trumpet vine like the design of the illostration upon the satin before covering the fan pieoe with it, though a rich design sfamped and einbroidered is equally ;is effective. T;.í; satin inay be applied with mucilago, paste or with the needle, and should be of' bvight color - a rich gold or crimson - to properly display the photographs placed against it. The j'ellow is very attractive as a background for trumpet flover8, the heavy greens of the leavea and rich reds leaviug the yello.v parts of the flower to be colored by tlie satin itself. The squares are then nicely covered with bits of plush to match the satin, on which lettering in dull red makes piquaüt description of the photos they are to support. The fan and these bits may be lined with thin silk or colored cambric. The squares are easily sewed ia place, save the top and end one, which may be pasted against the fan or fastened by means of skillful stitchery. A ribbon girdle is fastened at the top to suspend it froin a hook on the wall or the knob of a mh-ror, while a doublé case of this soit - that is, two fans with back to back - may be hung froin a {ras jet or chandelier, and affords atnple capacity for all one's friends.
