tree, but of use to the recipients. A
pretty workcase for thimble, needles,
scissors and small pieces of work was
fashioned after a banana. The sec
tions of the skin of a large banana
were used for the pattern. These We're
cut from yellow kid heavy silk and
velveteen, and were lined with silk
of the same shade, and bound with
narrow yellow ribbon. The pieces
were then overhanded together, leav-
ing the shorter side open. A few
strokes of the brush and brown paint
gave q realistic effect
Another case similar to this, but cut
in pieces that were regularly shaped
and somewhat larger than a banana,
was made of bronze kid and bound
with brown ribbon. 1t is particular
ly neat and convenient needlework
case. Another made of yellow silk
was stuffed, and will be used as pin
cushion to hang at the side of the
dressing table mirror.
Oranges and lemons made of heavy
silk and kid were cut from sections of
the large fruits. In those made of
kid the pieces were lined with silk
and sewed together on the wrong side,
over and over, and two sides were
bound with ribbon of the same color
and left open. These made pretty re-
ceptacles for needlework or odds and
ends, and looked much like the origin
ais A few made of silk, and stuffed,
are intended for pretty cushions for
fancy pins. Pumpkins of silk, with
real stems, which are not hard to
make, resembed the old fashioned
fruit more than the pale, cultivated
pumpkins of the city markets do. The
sections of these were outlined with
fine silk. These are also made of kid,
with one open side and one used for
needlecases.
Natural ears of corn, which are not
hard to make for people who know
how to knit, We're made from direc-
tions found in book on knitting.
Two or three husks We're hung from
the open top of the ear.
Cuff buttons, pins and studs were

Few people are aware that Christ

on some other days, says the Gran

Tuesday and Thursday fifty-eight

fifty-seven times each for every fifty
six times it falls on Monday or a

A Telephone in a Christina. Tree


One of the prettiest stories Of what
the telephone has done Is told of q
family out West. The mother was
sick in hospital many miles away.
She insisted at Christmas time that
no change should be made at home.
There must be Christmas presents and
the tree. The father and some men
worked at the Christmas tree for
some hours on the afternoon before
Christmas.
The mother far away was well
enough to walk to the telephone in the
hospital. The hour was arranged.
Suddenly, when all the children We're
around the tree, the father reached
into the tree. put the transmitter,
carefully concealed there to the ear of
the youngest child, and the child
heard it's mothers Christmas message.
Each in turn spoke to her, and they
voted their mammals voice was the
best Christmas present they had.

feeling that they had enjoyed since
they sailed across the Pacific. The
afternoon was given over to dinners
and visiting, and all lent themselves
to the spirit of the day.
Last year the Filipino turkey was
abundant, and many of the Christmas
messes were supplied with stuffed
turkey. Some had roast pig and 9th

plain he believed in most.
He believed in pulling wishbones,
for he knew if he got the long end, and
then put it over the door. his wish
would be almost sure to come true.
Along about Thanksgiving time there
We're a great many wishbones, and the
narrow shelf at the top OF the door
casing was filled with grisly hopes
that We're mostly to come true Christ
mas morning.
For in the goodness of Santa Claus
he believed most of all. There was
just one Santa Claus, and there was no
faith and no feeling quite like that on
the afternoon before Christmas, when
he drove the tack into the back left
hand corner of the mantelpiece and
hung on it his longest and reddest
stocking, and then sat in different
parts OF the room to look at 1t and
so make sure that Santa Claus could
not fail to see 1t first thing.
He had wanted a knife. He had
wanted one since he could first remem-
Der, but now that he had been going
to school it seemed to him that there
was nothing in the world he wanted
like that. The other boys had them.
To be sure they were all older than
him, but he had caught up with them
in his lessons, and it seemed as knives
and lessons ought to go together. His
parents were afraid he would cut his
fingers, but he had used the other boys
knives and had not cut himself; at
least only a little once, and that was
an accident.
He made up his mind at last that in
Santa Claus lay his only hope. Santa
Claus, who knew everything, would
know that he was old enough to have
q knife-perhaps one with two blades,
a big one and little one He men-
toned this to his parents. but they
looked grave and said that Santa Claus
was very particular about little boys
fingers.
He had been getting all the long
was always for the knife. Above the
sitting room door there was a perfect
thicket Of long ends. The knife was
certain. He could hardly wait for the
time.
But one day, when Christmas was no
more than few weeks off, his father
returned from the village with pic
ture paper. 1t had great deal In it
about Christmas, and inside there was
set of pictures that covered over two
whole pages. The little boy saw them
and spread the paper down on the
floor to look at them. Then he forgot
everything else In the world, for they
were pictures Of the life and home of
Santa Claus! He had seen other such
pictures, but never before any like
these. There was the workshop. with
the old fellow at his bench. and the fin
ished gifts piled around him. There
were dolls and playthings without
number, and there right in front Of
him, sure enough, was a whole row
of pocket knives!
The little boy got down and looked
at the pictures very close. Which
knife was for him? If he only knew!
BY and by he took the paper over to
where his mother was sewing. There

have to lay 1t away for a year or two"
The small fingers roamed over the
smooth, wooden handle which he could
not yet see. The sturdy thumb nail
bent itself time and again in the little
catches of the two cold blades that
were too new for him to open. Now
and then he reached out to feel of his
mittens and the cookies and to find
another piece Of the mixed candy. He
sucked the candy to make it last.
Dear heart, how happy he was!-

Metal Velvet.

The new metal velvet and metal vel
veteens are very handsome. The trade
name is tride misleading, because
there Is no particle Of gold or silver in
the material. One piece of velvet is
stamped with design in brilliant or
ange spots, the size of a French pea
on a black ground. The orange has
a metallic lustre. A'dark blue has pat
tern Of lines executed with silvery blue
lustre. Another black velvet is stamped
with arabesques Of emerald green, a
brilliant metallic sheen like an enamel
attends the pattern color. These ma
terials are not expensive, but very styl.
ish and suitable for an odd waist.
