Hanging the Christmas stocking.

When the presents are chosen and safely
housed, the next question to be answered
is, how shah they be given? writes Eliza
beth Robinson Scovil in the Christmas mum
Der OF The Ladies Home Journal. Shall
keep up the fiction Of Santa Claus, or shall
the gifts be hidden under the napkins on
the breakfast table, or shall they be placed
on Christmas tree? Like most earthly
plans. each has its advantages and counter
balancing disadvantages. In some families
there are circumstances that answer the
question, and leave no choice, while others
are free to choose whichever seems best.

vII.-Postal Case and Bl.tier.

Every woman knows the Christmas strug-
gle of finding something really suited to
mans use, and which is at the same time
within her reach; and as the gift [ am
about to describe is both practical and dec
oratlve it may help her
This gift for writing table or desk is made
of red channels skin, and combines III one IL
generous blotter with Il case for postal cards;
and it is severe enough in its ornamental
ton to admit of 10 criticism upon that
score.
To make it, first cut piece of heavy
cardboard eight inches wide by twelve long,
or larger if you prefer. Stretch the skin
over the board and near enough to the edge
to form a border, draw some conventional
design; now remove the board and on the
channels couch all the outlines you have
drawn with heavy Japanese gold thread.
Cover the board. Then cut Il smaller piece
of board to make a pocket for cards as
shown in the illustration, and cover it with
channels on which may be couched similar
border in gold also across the center the
word ''postals' in quaint, irregular letters.
Line the back of the smaller board with
dark red watered silk, then hold ii firmly
in its place on the larger board and drive
through the two, small brass nails with
ornamental heads, clinching them on the
underside; on the edges of the two sections
may be sewn together with red silk. If the
brass nails are used they will give sulIl-
Gent decoration except along the open edge
of the pocket. Paste neatly over the back
either red silk or heavy red watered paper.
TO the underside of each corner overland
with red silk very neatly a small triangle
of the chamois. Cut several sheets of red
or yellow blotting paper, the necessary size,
and slip them under the corners which will
hold them fast, and in the pocket put all
the postals it will hold. You may be sure
this gift will please the special masculine
critic for whom it is designed, and whose
monogram may be worked in gold thread
in one of the upper corners over the postal
card pocket. CLARE BUNCE
