DRESSING UP THE PRESENTS.
Individuality in wrapping or Boxil,
Gifts Adds IN Their Charm

| Individuality in wrapping or Boxing
Gifts Adds to Their Charm.
The clever maiden Will do up her Christ
mas gifts in the daintiest way possible
There isn't IL woman who does not lOte OF
receiving an odd-l0oking package -.ame
thing that will appeal to her curiosity lie
cause of Its individuality. And to make :ht
holiday present perfect by reason of "a
dainty doing up requires but little FIRE
thought and a few shekels.
The true Christmas colors are the hues nf
the holly, and they may be used admirably
In making dress for the Christmas { ift.
For Instance, one may go to the man who
makes boxes and buy dark green box
tied with big scarlet bow Of ribbon pr
vice versa. Instead of this desirable color
combination in the box and bow, a plain
white box may be utilized with a bow Of
ribbon which has the holly design woven in
1t. Still another idea is to use the white box
and rib. ib.On-sUggestive OF snow and in the
generous bow fasten small spray of the
green leaves with scarlet berries.
If the fancy box is not within the pos
sib;,ties Of the purse, gauzelike tissue
paper makes an attractive wrapping.
This may be put ON plain and secur ID
With tluy TlDDOuS- Or Tue enuS may te
fringed dclicateiy with the scissors aud
twisted at both ends, as candy kisses
used to be in days gone by.
Then there is the young woman who
only has dimes in her purse for the
Christmas presents, who may in u sim
pie way utilize some OF these ideas for
dainty covering for the Christmas gift.
Last year enc ingenious maiden sudds n y
embarrassed financially could not bcir
to have the happy Christmas time 20 by
without sending her dearest friends me
little remembrance. So she sat down To
think and a clever idea came.
She took her calling cards and wrote
CHEEKY Christmas greetings to each in
dividual friend. Then she put these mes.
sages in small envelopes and tied them
with tiny red ribbons, securing them in
the back with bit of red wax. This is
precisely the way lovers used to secure
their billet doux in the days of the trou-
badOurs. This modern maiden next in
serted a bit of mistletoe under the rib
bon. This dainty little package, with a
charming individuality, was placed in a
larger and he8 vier envelope and intrusted
to the care OF Uncle Sam.
In short a Christmas gift without a
spray Of holly or mistletOe-Or their cOlors
is like the play of Handel with Hamlet
left out.

There is nothing in the world so pitiful a

WHAT THE MODES ARE.

The pompadour holds its own. although
there are signs here and there that tie
thick curled 'Iangtry bang, which is
SD youth-giving and becoming, is stealing
into the fashionable world again.
The French tailor gown is much more
popular now tlsn the plain English cos
tune of few seasons ago. 1t is braid ID
in lines which display the figure to I'D
vantage, and IL always has touch ui
color to tighten it, and betray its III m
atty.
Some OF the shoemakers are bringing
out dark brown pigskin shoes with stitch
ing and trimmings of black and black
shoes with brown stitching. and are OF
fering them as the latest freaks of fa sh-
ion. Undoubtedly they are selling them,
but not 10 the we,i-dressed woman.
There are three skirts this year. The
first is the plain tailor skirt, which is
.he circular skirt we gave up -four wears
agu. The second in favor is the sell
shaepd iupe, which fits tightly over tie
hips and nearly to the knees. and then .lares
out into 4 deep flounce set in beneath a
trimming q: enibrodery. The third skirt
is perfectly plain in front. and has aroIniI
the be cE and sides three well cut fIodnces,
which give the effect of a tightly fitting
treble h2 squeI retlingCte.

SOME IMPLE REMEDIES.
To Cure a Cold.

A most excellent remedy for a cold, which
may easily he made at home, and which has
the advantage OF being pleasant rs well Us
effective. is made as follows: Wash two
lemons, and put them I'm a quart OF boiling
water. Boil for twenty minutes, remove
and while hot cut the lemon open and re
move the pulp and juice. Strain through
coarse sieve tc remove the seeds and mix
with hal: cupful of granulated sugar
Stand in cool place until it has iellietl
Take teaspoonful every half hour. This is
an old German recipe, and is Particularly
good for bronchial affections, as well as
ordinary colds.

Don't Buy His Neckties.

A woman had better not try to select
neekties for a mans present unless he il
creature fatally given to wearing sk )
blue or grass green ties of his own lad
taste. Then SHE can't do any worse for
him. But Sue can be trusted to choose
a silk nuffler with jutlicious prompting
from the experienced young man who
has the corner counter in charge The
very dark reds suit nearly every man, or
the black with slight figuring OF deep ] ed
will approve itself. Puppies and Lies
rarely should come near masculine
complexion.

Det,utnnte's First Lesson

The first lesson for a debutan.c 10
learn is that she is not the only debu,a :te
IN the rOcm. and that every eye is by
no means fixed upon her. Remember
that each little debutante is Just as much
occupied with herself as you are, and each
mother who sits ranged against the wall
is thinking very deeply of her own par
ticular little ducklins that has
turned so suddenly into a swan. II
realize this fact-thaf is. that every one
is not looking at you-may be shoc:i to
the vanity hut it will do n.oIe to less II
that painful shyness 50 wisely called hy
the French faux haute than anything lsf
in the world.

Says Sam Karpf, the bowling expert
Early last week 1 received a letter from
a popular bowler, who bowls on alleys
not far from St. Louis, asking for ex-
plantations as to why the finger bail is
so far ahead OF the solid ball IN other
states and cities outside of his own.
This Is certainly an cas- query and
can be readily answered by q novice
who has been bowling only n few days,
All who indulge in the same know that
a finger ball can be more accurately
controlled than the solid ball, for the
bowler has the two holes that are bored
in the ball to guide him In the manner
OF twist and curve to give the sphere,
which Is certainly not the case with a
solid ball. Again all the bowling that
Is done with a solid ball comes direct
from the arm, while the movement OF
the wrist and fingers IS required to
bring the noninger ball to the desired
spot. Only two short years ago tho
bowlers of Cincinnati and vicinity were
rolling none but the solid bail, but
they quickly threw 1t aside after their
contests with the eastern men. who
paid them a visit and incidentally beat
them two hundred or more pins IN eV-
cry game they rolled. This was the last
OF the solid ball in Ohio, and the solid
ball In Missouri will likely meet with
the same fate when Ohio or New York's
rollers polish off st. Louis players in a
friendly or match contest. One OF these
matches should be arranged at any
early date.
