An Inyalld,s Christmas Gift.

Is there among your friends q weary
invalid for whom you are longing to do
something helpful at the coming holiday
season? IL so. you cannot do better
than to undertake the preparation of
wonder bag for Christmas. wonder
bag is large bag filed with gifts from
many friends, which are to be drawn out
on special days, according to accom-
panying directions. 1t may be arranged
to last for any length of time-three
months, six months, or year-draw-
ings being made once, twice. or thrice
week, as may seem best. Since the re-
cipient OF the bag is not given list of
the donors, nor informed Of the character
OF the gifts, double surprise awaits her
at such drawing. This contributes not
little to the novelty and charm OF the
scheme.
Make strong bag of suitable material
-cretonne, denim, canvas, or linen.
Embroider it with initials, monogram,
or other suitable design, and finish it
with stout strings of broad rib
bon. Since it is to hang in the sick-room
Tor so long time it should be made not
merely durable and serviceable, but also
dainty and attractive. Wrap each ar
ticle in tissue-paper, using many tints;
mark it with the name OF the donor, and
tie it securely with narrow ribbon of a
contrasting color, leaving one end long
enough to be used in drawing it out.
Pack the parcels carefully in the bag,
heavier ones at the bottom, and let the
long ribbons hang outside at the top.
Gifts appropriate Tor special days, such
as the invalid's birthday, July 4, April 1.
Easter Sunday, February %, very
weary day." stormy Sunday" etc.,
may be designated by tiny cards attach
ed to their ribbons. Most of the gifts,
however, should be left without dates, in
order that the invalid may have the
privilege once in a while of deciding
which ribbon to draw Woman's
Home Companion.
