OF clear cut-glass between the beads. A
watch fob is nice for a dollar. 1t is a
! two-inch length of black gros grain
ribbon, with a biz imitation SAPPHIRE
| heart in a gun-metal setting at one end,
or just as nice is night-dress pin OF
silver, in the form of an oxYdized sill
yer cherubS head, with wings out
! spread. Girls take kindly also to the
| slim necked, silver-topped perfume
pitchers for their dressing tables. The
pitcher is large enough to hold the con-
tents OF one Of those small bottles Of
violet or heliotrope essence that Girls
love, and, for a dollar a pair, L have
seen charming red and green leather
cite Turkish slippers for bedroom wear,
their toes embroidered in gold or sill
yer.
For less than a dollar L can get a
leather-co golf-scorer, with
crossed silver clubs on the outside, a
nice pencil in the loops and fifty ruled
and prepared scoring pages inside. Any
girl who is fond of pretty modish tricks
would like box holding four little
linen handkerchiefs, colored in the gay
est Scotch plaids on white ground, or
a travelling housewife in the form of a
big D5rfumed apple. The apple itself is
a cushion to hold pins and needles. To
a ribbon from the stem she ties a pair
of scissors, and, by pulling the stem,
the apple opens to reveal a space for a
thimble and spool.
'One dollar buys a box holding two
hundred pins of assorted lengths, show
ing heads of pearls of every tint, or
leather-covered box for the toilet table,
cut uD in sections inside, for holding
every grade of hair pin. Tiny Wreaths
of golden mistletoe as veil pins, big
white or tinted tulle neck bows and
stocks, vinaigrettes of cut crystal to
e Il
others, in the form of big crystal thumb
rings, with silver shoppers, are sold at
a. dollar. A big flower for the hair
made of black tulle and gold spangles,
a pair of wee rhinestone bow knots, to
fasten on dancing slipper toes, a gum
metal thimble with two cabochOn col
ored stones set in either side, and
single silver tube bangle, or a small
black painted muslin Empire fan, all
come within the dollar limit
Under rs cents 1 found strings of
imitation seed pearls that look SO
pretty with light theatre waists, pairs
of small silver heart-shaped slides, to
run on narrow ribbons when the watch
is worn slung about the neck, and by
way of Christmas cards 1 shall send
some girls one quire of very smart
cream laid paper and envelopes, tied
up in lilac tinfoil with broad white
satin ribbon, on which is written Merry
Christmas in gold letters. There is
stationer offering these and paper
weights in the form of footballs bound
with colors of the various colleges.
ELDERLY LADIES.
"They, I find are difficult to cater
for; but see, here I don't go over my
dollar limit for any of these. A melted
silk bag to hook to the waist line and
hold a ball of knitting wool in place,
vet so it will roll off easily; a mixed
cotton and moss stuffed cushion COW
cred dark green cloth to use in the car
riage and in the church pew; a gun
metal eye-glass pin; a crystal and sill
yer funnel for filing ink wells; a pair
of pure wool knitted bed socks, and
rather think elderly ladies are as COM
plimeuted by receiving a potted plant,
or a couple of handsome, fragrant
roses, on Christmas morning as with
anything else. A pot of blooming
cyclamen, blossoming house bred mas
turtiums or a couple of La France
roses, sent with a card, are any one to
be had for dollar. Under dollar one
can purchase, bound beautifully in
the Temple edition, the Confessions of
st. Augustine, Thomas attempts or
the elderly relations favorite play of
Shakespeare.
Send an invalid in the country a
translated copy of the Christmas
Figaro, or a couple of the English
weeklies for Christmas. Any poet your
bed or chair-ridden friend loves can be
had in excellent edition for less than
a dollar. Instead of bells for sick folks
they now make the most musical little
silver whistle and a charming device
for a cousin laid up with a sprained
Ill l., e-lr Il h
boo rod that folds up or runs out like
a telescope and has fine hook in the
end. It does not cost a dollar and it is
simply invaluable in reaching.
GIFTS MEN LIKE.
Men seem always difficult subjects,
but bunch of little silver tools, con-
sisting of pipe stopper, probe and
holder cost only 50 cents, and for 81 I
can get a pair of pocket tool scissors.
They are small but sharp and you can
pretty nearly build d house with them.
The new silver pocket pencil case has a
screw top, costs 81, and the hieroglyph-
les on it constitute a perpetual calen-
dar. Another pencil is done in black
leather and French gilt in the form of
a tightly rolled umbrella, and it is on
my list Also I have down new thing
in shaving papers; a doll dressed in
tissue paper as a housemaid, and her
petticoats are meant for wiping the
razor. To a brother can be given, for
81, a set of silver susDender hooks and
buckles.
ITO man friend I can offer at the
same outlay a magazine knife of olive
wood in the shape of a sole and heel
Of a woman's slipper. A leather book
lined with silk to hold his cravat pins
is another device, and for his desk a
leather box, having a hole in the top to
hold ball of string, while small scis-
sors fit in a case outside. A steel hook
with a wood handle for pulling on his
shoes is to be had for 81. The same
sum will buy the sportsman's calendat
for 1893; it will buy silver name check
to fasten to the handle of a golf bag,
purchase a neat desk utensil consist
ing of eraser at one end and brush at
the other or a remarkably equipped
bachelors housewife, holding self
threading needles, various types of but
tons. a leather thimble and a few max
inns in the art of sewing. Some of these
I have sent off to friends in the army.
GIFTS FOR HOUSEKEEPERS.
Married women friends come last on
the list, and here l have the new pat
ent revolving toas ting forks down. They
have imitation ebony handles and steel
prongs and they are invaluable. An
other novelty at my price is a long han
died spoon with a covered bowl of
brass; the cover is perforated and you
burn pastiles or disinfectant incense in
side. Silver handles for sealing wax
sticks, silver table bells, sealing wax
Spoons, leather catch-all boxes for
desks, individual saltcellars of cut
glass, trimmed with silver, silver
trimmed slate TO hang in the hall by
the hat rack for any guest to write a
message on. and a big lettered box, to
hold bills, are any one of them appro-
