To make the boquet you need-five V 1 dozen new, ordinary clothes pegs, Yv some florist's wire, five yards, of narrow white ribbon, one sheet of white tissue paper, one .fancy paper flower frill from the florist’s shop, some A t.l pieces of asparagus fern, , one and a ' half yards of; gauze ribbon. , Cut the wire into strands Bin -in* - length. Place the wire firmly arCund . Y the head of clothes pegs, just as you Y

would if you were wiring a rose or ” * any other flower. Wire about four -?t dozen in this manner. Bunch all

your pegs together as you would if

you were making an old fashioned *: nosegay of regal flowers. Then place pieces of foliage (asparagus fern is

test) between the pegs and all round the outside of the boquet. After this is done bind all wire stalks together, then cover with wrapping of

white tissue paper. / Cut a small hole in the centre of the paper frill. Pull the boquet through this. Be careful that you do not cut the hole too big for your stalks'; if you do this the frill will not stand up as it should. Cut the white ribbon into various length, from 12in.
