The clever maiden will do up her
Christmas gifts in the daintiest wav
possible. There isn't woman who
does not dote on receiving an odd look
ing package-something that will ap-
peal to her curiosity because of its in
dividuality. And to make the holiday
present perfect by reason of its dainty
doing up requires but little fore
thought and few shekels.
The true Christmas colors are the
hues of the holly, and they may be
used admirably in making dress for
the Christmas gift. For instance, one
may go to the man who makes boxes
and buy dark green box tied with a
big scarlet bow of ribbon, or vice ver-
sa. Instead of this desirable color COM
bination in the box and bow n plain
white box may be utilized with bow
Of ribbon which has the holly design
woven in It, Still another idea is to
use the white box and ribbon--sugges-
tive of snow-and in the generous bow
fasten a small spray of the green
leaves with scarlet berries.

The Christmas season brings to no.
tice many daily little presents which
may be made so reasonably that many
people are continuing the practice of
making most of their gifts with their
own hands and thus showing their re-
gard for the recipient. There Is also
the necessity in many instances of an
inexpensive outlay, but a dainty result
Is always desired.
A useful and ornamental bag to hold
soiled collars and cuffs requires one
yard of some soft, pretty figured cloth
inches WIDE yard of ribbon one and
One-half inches wide, seven-eighths Of
q ward of the same three inches wide
and a wooden embroidery hoop about
eight inches in diameter. Cut the
cloth in square 30 by 30 inches and
sew into long bag with double seams.
Then hem the upper opening of the
bag over on the hoop. not too tight, so
that the cloth will slip easily, as the
entire fullness is sewed over the hoop.
Then take the narrow ribbon and sew
on the outside of the hoop for suspen-
sion, as indicated in Fig. 1. When this
is done, hang the bag up and drape by
gathering the front in large plalts,
taking n plat in the bottom Of the bag
and fastening the whole just below the
front of the hoop. Tack on firmly
bow made of the wide ribbon, and then
the collar bag Is complete.

wreath for the lower part applied to
the silk, which is of one color, though
a dot or other pattern in it is an inn
provement. The bag is rounded at the
lower corners to follow the shape of
the festoon and is drawn up at the top
with shirring strings, the rufile being
rather deep. With n bag where blue
ribbon comes into the pattern with
roses and other gay flowers the bag
may be old blue. When green and
pink predominant in the design, an old
rose silk is best, subdued shades being
more effective than bright in the silk.
Powered silk is used for this quaint
little workbag. The circle of cardboard
at the bottom of the bag Is double, and

can do with what they have. There

CnAFFEE'S WRATH
1t Made the General Angry to See the
LoOting and Plllage

Berlin, Dec. 1.-THE German for
eign Office authorizes the Associated
Press to make the following statement
regarding the Waldersee-Chaffee in
cident, based upon a cable dispatch
just received from Field Marshal Won
Waldersee:
General Chaffee wrote Field Mar
shall Won Waldersee a letter in a
rough tone. Field Marshal Won Wal
dersee refused to receiveyit, returning
the same to General Chaffee. The lat
ter then wrote a second letter apollo
giving for his Objectionable express
sions, whereupon Field Marshal Won
Waldersee invited General Chatfee to
breakfast and the incident was AMIGA
bly, closed"
The Vossische Ieitung remarks:
Whatever the cause, General Chaifee
had in no case right to use such
rough language in a letter to the COM
mander-in-chief."
The Berlin Tageblatt observes:
1--WE must, of course, reserve a def
mite Judgment until reliable German
reports have been received. Whoever
knows, however, of the generally ac-
knowledged diplomatic tact of Count
Won Waldersee will not doubt that he
would not have employed such a
brusque procedure without the strong
est kind of provocation."
Washington, December 12.-The
War Department has received re-
port from General Chaffee of the in
cident that occurred in Pekin in con-
nection with his representations to
Field Marshal Won Waldersee. II APP
pears that General Chatfee did use
some pretty vigorous language inpro-
testing against the thieving and loot
ing of the foreign troops. What par
ticularly hurt the feelings of Valdez
see was a pointed reference by General
ChaiIee to the fact that this disgrace
full and unmilitary practice of looting
was being INDUCED in, not by the men
who did the fighting and opened the
way to Pekin, but 10y the late corners,
who had borne none of the brunt of
conflict and hardship. Waldersee
himself did not reach PeSin until long
after the expeditionary force had oc-
cupied the town.
1t is recognized here officially that
General Chatfee had provocation for
his deliverance, but regret is felt that
he used this tone in addressing the
field marshal. 1t is Significantly point
ed out here that perhaps it was not in
cumbent upon General Chaifee to
make any representations whatever on
this subject to the field marshal, as
there is no longer any official tie be-
tween them. When the United States
Government changed the character OF
it's military representation in Pekin
from an expeditionary force to a mere
legation guard, of course that guard
no longer came under the control of
the commander-in-chief at Pekin, but
was simply part of Minister Con-
ueris official household

water color paper and some cardboard.
Mark out on the water color paper a
9 inch triangle, with sloping sides ~
inches wide and 8 inches across the
top. Make a small hole on the outside
at each upper corner of the sides for
ribbons and then paint on the exterior
of the box little figure or convention
nj design. Cut out separate pieces Of
cardboard to match each side of the
two triangles, making them just one
eighth of an inch smaller around each
margin than the water color paper, as
they are to be used for the lining of
the box. Cover each piece with a thin
layer of cotton and sprinkle sachet
powder on it, Then cover each of these
parts with silk, the triangles covered
smoothly and the sides puffed. Next
glue these silk covered parts to their
respective places on the water color
paper and tie the upper corners with
narrow ribbon.
