"Tea-For-Two" In Silhouette

A narrow black frame would be a very good choise for this silhouette. It should be proportioned so as to leave an even margin all around the outside of the line enclosing the tea ladies.

In order to be certain that the silhouette will be smooth and without any wrinkles it would be a very good idea to paste it firmly to a stiff piece of cardboard and press it beneath a heavy object until it is dry.

This department has recently published another very attractive silhouette entitled "Coach-and-Four" in silhouette and anyone wishing this may have it sent by sending her request to the Beauty in the Home Department, enclosing with it a self-addressed, stamped envelope. Please be sure that the envelope measures at least six by nine inches so that the silhouette will not require folding which will spoil it for framing.
