Hair needs regular care just as do plants
or babies or people. Make UP your mind

Is there among your friends a weary
Invalid for whom you are longing TO do
something beautiful and helpful at the
coming holiday season? asks the "Wom-
ans Home Companion. = II so, you cam
not do better than to undertake the prep
aration of a wonder bag for Christmas.
A wonder bag is a large bag filed with
gifts from many friends, which are to be
drawn out on special days, according to

ranged to last for any length Of time
three months, six months or a year
drawings being made once, twice or thrice
a week. as may seem best. Since the
recipient of the bag is not given a list of
the donors, nor informed OF the character
of the gifts, a double surprise awaits her
at such drawing. This contributes not a
little to the novelty and charm of the
scheme.
Wax a strong bag of suitable material
-cretonne, denim, canvass or linen. En-
broider it with initials, a monogram or
other suitable design, and finish it with
stout draw-strings of broad ribbon. Since
it is to hang in the sick-roonl for so long
a time it should be made not merely
durable and serviceable. but also dainty
and attractive. Wrap each article in it's
sue-paper, using many tints; mark it with
the name of the donor, and tie it secure
~ 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 for
special days, such as the invalid's birth
day, July 4, April 1, Easter Sunday, Feb
ruary %, a VERY weary day" a stormy
Sunday ETC., may be designated by tiny
cards attached to their ribbons. Most of
the gifts, however. should be left without
dates in order that the invalid may have
the privilege once in awhile of deciding
which ribbon TO draw.
"Dressy wooden costumes of light silk
and wool, cashmere, cloth or novelty
| goods are trimmed with bands of bead
passementerie, embroidered mousseline or
velvet. and made with a yoke or vest of
bright silk or velvet, or of white cloth
embroidered in gold. writes Emma M.
Hooper in the November Ladies Home
Journal "A striking yoke may be made
of cream guipure with gilt spangles sewed
over part Of the pattern. as many of the
dressmakers now arrange. Light gray,
tar, army blue, lavender, red and black
| goods are the colors used for these gowns.
| They are made up with a round Slightly
pointed or jacket-fronted waist for a
young person, or with a basque waist or
Louis XVI coat for matrons. The latter
style has jacket fronts. close-htting and
five inches below the waist, with revers.
high collar and small sleeves; back cut
as a close basque, with fiat effect below
1 the waist-line. Lace trims the neck and
| wrists. and a jabot ornaments the throat,
falling over the vest of gauze, chiffon or
| lace ruffles or the fat-pointed one of en-
broidered satin. With a handsome hat
and light gloves such a gown is suitable
| for a ladies' luncheon or afternoon recep-
]stion. at both of which the hostess is the
only one present ~unbonneted. At a
luncheon party gloves are removed when
the table is reached, but the outside wrap
is taken off in the dre%ssing-room."
A girl never marries her ideal. One
| reason is that she seldom finds him, and
when she does she doesn't like him. An
other reason is, the material man is so
dreadfully unlike the one of her magma
ton.
A girl is an inconsistent creature, any
way, says the Young Ladies Journal
AS sure as she fashions the idol of her
minds eye as a great, fierce. black
mustached, misunderstanding individual.
the end will be a promise to love and
obey some meek, freelsled, red-haired per-
| son who cannot forget his affection for
| chocolate c~aranaels and football scrim-
images.
Most dreadful is the fate of the little
woman who admires the jolly man who
can laugh at paper-weight biscuit and
boiled beefsteak. for she Invariably falls
head over heels in love with some solemn,
stately man. whose very photograph
makes her dumb with silent awe.
