Charming New Favors That viii Be
Exchanged Between Friends the
Last Thursday in November.

Brownies in all colors and attitudes
are to be given as favors 4on Thanks
giving day, either sent as gifts or
forming part of dinner.
The favorite device for table
souvenir is a stable little fellow with
a burdensome pack of chocolates on
his back For larger gifts they are
mounted by dozens on fancy boxes
filled with bon-bons. Two hundred OF
the pacl1men have been ordered from
a candy store to supply college din
ner, the Brownies wearing striped
sashes of orange and black.
Sweetmeat boxes are all taking ap-
propriate shapes for the day, and the
fortunate women who are so pleasant
~ remembered will find their gifts
artistically designed after turkey COB
lers and wish-boneS. Some will be
mounted by a sterling silver wish
bone having a strip at the back which
forms an easel and small hooks pro-
jecting to serve as pen rests. 1t will
be a charming addition to ones writ
ing table.
SENDING SILVER TRINKETS.
It is quite the best form to inclose
in these boxes any small silver orna
ment, and quite a number OF daintily
bound prayer books and hymnals are
to be sent with violets. This is an
especially appropriate thought as the
holiday is observed with religious rites
more than merry making. | have also
heard of some exquisite rosaries as
gifts to those in the Catholic faith.
But devices for the men are just as
much desired as for the women" said
one who was showing me some of the
orders for Thanksgiving, land, she
continued, you would be astonished

buying small boxes that they may hide
in their coat pockets"
For their men friends women have
ordered Brownies. of course. who,
instead of carrying chocolates are
loaded with cigars. Footballs in fav-
orite colors are designed in leather,
tied with bows of velvet ribbon and
filled with peppermints. Larger ones
are fitted up to hold pipes or cigars on
a smoking table. Cigar boxes of
PAPER mache are fitted out with choc-
olates, and high hats of black are
bound with the college colors of the
receiver and filled with bon-bons. The
hats are made durable enough to serve
as receptacles for invitations or cards.
FOR FASHIONABLE WOMEN.
One of the newest things to send a
smart women is a theatre bonnet of
the most pronounced English type
with the huge bow of satin ribbon at
pointed crown. To this crown instead
of lining is attached a stable silk
bag filled with candies. When the
lining is removed the chic little bonnet
serves it's rightful use

way florist promoter" tells me ne in
tends to introduce holly. This is a de-
cided departure, as Christmas is the
rightful legatee Of that one Of natures
requests, but this florist has the berry
ready in the shop and is going to use
it on some of his most fashionable
customers. He will form a huge wish
bone of it in the center of one table,
making an outline of leaves about it,
its joining place will be accumulated
by an heroic bow of holly red ribbon.
At either end of the table will be
great cut-glass vases of American
beauties. The favors are to be crimson
satin, hand-painted boxes of bon-bons
with tiny paddock and key Of silver
that they may serve as handkerchief
boxes after.
At one dinner Jack Homer pie is
to be made of paper mache; the slices
designated for their owners by broad
yellow satin ribbon attached. the name
painted on it's surface. Each guest is
to draw, and will find his pet hobby
The man who has
grown rich manufacturing stoves will
get a toy stove. The son who is fond
OF the races, a tin thoroughbred; the
daughter who is an expert golf player,
finds her ball and stick, and so it goes.
