Some years ago the jobbers and re-

clever idea of putting up as Christmas
gifts cotton and wooden dress goods i'll
lengths sufficient for the making OF a
gown, writes Emma M. Hopper in a
very practical article on christmas In
the Shops in the Ladies' Home Jour
nal. What gift can be more acceptable
TO the ever-saving mother than such a
dress length in a pretty soft, gray,
warm brown or black mixed serge, hop
sacking. Henrietta or bourette goods,
with all the Innings included neatly n
daintily tied up? Then, too black silks
and satins are in fashion again, and
from olden times a favorite present
from a thoughtful husband has been a
best black silk" AS men know very
little Of the value of dress materials 1
win tell them that 1t Is not a wise pol
icy to pay less than SIPS a yard for a
blacl silk, and better to pay $1.50 or
$1.75, and that sixteen yards are nee
essary. Small boys like articles of ap-
parel, as handkerchiefs, neckties, a suit
of clothes or a new hat, and they are
certainly more sensible presents than
the pounds of sweets that children are
invited to consume each Christmas. Be
tween intimate friends and in the fam
lily presents of this kind are in good
taste, but do not give a mere casual
acquaintance the white silk stockings
which your friend who loves dancing
would he delighted to have. Boxes Of a
half-dozen hose-black, tan, brown,
white, gray and ~levender-to match
afternoon or evening dresses, are al
ways appropriate as holiday gifts. But
when you give anything Of this kind
see that it is very nice and something
that the receiver would not be apt to
indulge in.

Flowers I'm the Sick Room.

Flowers are almost holy in their min
istry in the sick room. How often the
feeble hands will hold a rose, turning
it every way to watch the delicate
petals; or, if strong enough, will take
the flowers, examining separately each
by itself; possibly talking of each one,
surely thinking lovingly Of the giver.
Pansies make a beautiful gift, as they
vary one from another, and imagina-
ton will find the bright Dutch faces.
Lilies of the valley are sweet and
pretty, as are also ~violets, mignonette
and heliotrope. Avoid the strong
scented flowers for the sick room.
Bulbs may also be given. Very often
invalids delight in watching their
growth. Potted plants, such as cycla-
men, marguerites and fusias also make
a suitable present.
Sometimes it is better, even when
flowers are altogether odorless, to re-
move them from the invalid's o at
night, bringing them back again the
following morning after the patient is
washed, breakfasted and generally re-
freshed for the day.-Good Housekeep-
ing.
