-, as the ehildren say, Lets play that

Mother Santa Claus has in her basket
/ for Us this year. We will first pull out
some easy thing for the benefit of little
beginners who are not yet up to all the
tricks of the needle; then some little
harder for the more advanced class; and,
at bottom of all, big girls not afraid to
dive will find plenty of elaborate de-
signs suited to their taste and powers.
A WALL LETTER. HoLDER.-This is
something which quite little boy could
make. Cut out three pieces of thin
wood, foot long by six inches wide;
smooth and sand-paper two of them, bore
hole in each corner and in the middle
of one side, and fasten them together
with fine wire, cord, ribbon, or the small
brass pins which are used for holding
manuscripts. The pieces should be held
little apart. Cut one end of the third
piece into some ornamental shape, glue
it firmly to the back of one of the others,
and suspend it from the wall by hole
bored in the top. It will be found a
useful thing to hold letters or pamphlets.
A clever boy could make this much
handsomer by cutting pattern over the
front, or an initial, or monogram, or
name in the middle. The wood should
be oiled or shellacked.
SHOE CAsEs.-These cases are meant
to take the place of paper when shoes
are to be wrapped up to 90 in q trunk.
They are made of brown crash, bound
with red worsted braid. One end 10
pointed 80 a. to turn over and button
down, or the top has strings over the
braid to tie the mouth up. There should
he three or four made at time, as each
holds but one pair of shoes; and you
will find that mamma or your unmarried
aunts will like them very much.
A New KIND OF CHR1sTxAs.PIE.-
Nothing can be droller than to hang up
ones stockings, and nothing prettier or
more full of meaning than Christmas
tree. But for some Of you who may like
to make a novelty in these time-honored
ways, we will just mention that it is good
fun to make q "Christmas-pie" in an
enormous tin dish-pan, with q make-be-
lieve crust of yellow cartridge paper,
ornamented with twirls I'd fourishes Of
the same, held down W n pins, and have
it served on Christina Eve, full Of pretty
things and sugar-plr as, jokes and jolly
little rhymes fastened to the parcels.
The cutting should be done beforehand,
and hidden by the twirls Of paper; but
the carver can pretend to use his knife
and fork, and spooning out the packages
will insure merry time for all at the
table. And one more suggestion. Little
articles, wrapped in white paper, can be
put inside cakes, baked and iced, end
thus furnish another amusing surprise
for the "pie" or the Cbristmas-tree.- st.
