es in width, and 8 inches
long, if this is doubled over the ribbon it will make each piece 4
inches long; sew then on the other side of the pin some soft chamois
leather the same width and length, now place it in the centre of the
tidy, draw the ribbon over, and tie it in a bow at the back. This
should be laid on the toilet table, and not hung up; it will have the
appearance of a book.
