SACHETS FOR LINEN-CLOSETS.
If you have any old-fashioned lavender growing in your garden, you can
easily make a delightful sachet for mamma to lay among her sheets and
pillow-cases in the linen-closet, by cutting a square bag of tarletane
or Swiss muslin, made as tastefully as you please, and stuffing it
full of the flowers. Another delightful scent is the _mellilotte_, or
sweet clover, which grows wild in many parts of the country, and has,
when dried, a fragrance like that of the tonquin-bean, only more
delicate.
TISSUE-PAPER MATS.
[Illustration: A TISSUE-PAPER MAT.]
We like to be able to tell you about these mats, for they cost almost
nothing at all, and are so simple that any little boy or girl can
make them. All the material needed for them is three sheets of
tissue-paper,--a light shade, a medium shade, and a dark shade, or, if
you like, they can also be made of one solid color, but are not quite
so pretty then. Cut a piece of each color nine inches square, fold it
across, and then across again, so as to form a small square, and then
fold from point to point.
