such a substantial way as In the
grandmother's clock Of 1850.
A pretty gift is the silk petticoat box
for the friend who is the owner Of half
a dozen silk peticoats.
But the question of keeping them Is
the one that bothers woman. How Is
she going to preserve her petticoats!
A bureau drawer will not hold them.
Then, after that. they are crushed
down, mussed and made to look worn
before they are ever put on. Then, too.
a bureau drawer is so inconvenient for
the purpose-not long enough and TOO
wide.
The way out of 1t Is the scented box
And 1t can be an ordinary paper box,
II you have no other, padded inside and
filed with nice scents. The outside can
be covered with cretonne and you have
a box which comes in very well for
holding your skirts.
But the best box is the Japanese box
This is made out Of thin wood, not
heavy, yet stout enough to answer as
a seat II you so desire, or It can do duty
in the corner Of the room. or can stand
in clothes press unobtrusively.
This box should be made of wood
with slight odor to it. Odorous woods
drive away insects and prevent moths
from entering. II the box has no scent
then put some scent into 1t.
Seeming wood is not difficult You
take little Chinese incense, OF the sort
which comes In long pipe-like pieces
and you light bunch and place 1t IN
the box. The smoke will permeate
every crack and your box will be per-
manentIy scented Don't be afraid OF
getting it too strong, for natural woods
are highly scented If you get the sweet
kind.
Do not think, when Scenting your
box. that you must use 'camphor II you
would drive away moths. Moths do not
like odors OF any kind and win dy
away from Chinese incense as quickly
as they will from camphor gum; and
they win not enter II there is a. much
an q Whit of rose anywhere about.
The Scented Box.
Women who like highly scented gar
ments are In the habit Of buying half
an ounce OF oil Of rose geranium. This
they use for polishing the inside OF the
shirt waist box, which also makes an
excellent Christmas gift. A little OF the
oil il dropped upon flannel and the In
side is thoroughly polished from one
end TO the other. The remainder Of
the oil is poured into the cracks.
Now comes the laying of . padded

diagonally to make dear little three
cornered shelves for bric-a-brac. And
down below is a wide shelf for books.
At the top shines the face, a great
round thing, face so dear that you
want to hug it, and over the face there
is room for bric-a-brac. 'I shall deco
rate that face" says the girl, the
hands shall be gold and shall paint
upon it the year in which 1t was
made"
When the carpenters work IL done
the work OF the girl begins. The car
penter left the clock in it's natural
state; all light colored, plain hard
wood, ready for the talented hand OF
the decorator.
And the grandmother OF fifty years
hence does hold a talented hand. With
plenty Of energy and lots OF stain she
goes to work. She stains and she stains
and her hands bear witness that she
has done II in no timid manner. She
puts the stain on thinly and frowns be-
cause it sinks in darkly. Then she ap-
plies another coat and It sticks better;
q third is better still.
There Is a distinct knack IN staining
and vanishing and the woman who
wants to stain and finish her clock well
will begin upon the back. Before she
has completed It she will have learned
q lesson or two which will come In ham
dy when she tackles the front.
There are certain works of art which
tell their age and their maker by the

calls for a clock which, Is so substan-

of all the men OF the fiSmily to move 1t,
with the woman OF thes family hard by,

The face OF the clock like the face or

It should be very pleasing in its shape
and its features should be marked by

But these are not the clock faces that

~ RE you making the Nouveau
AT Christmas furniture?
There is a great deal Of home
made furniture in the land
these days. But, as IL does
not look like homemade furniture nor
like amateur work. II can be forgiven
More than that Il is welcome, for a
great deal Of II is as pretty as It can
be: and a great deal better than could
possibly be bought for the same money.
Among the surprises Of Christmas
day VIII be the quantity Of handmade
furniture which is brought forth; and
those who are fortunate enough to re-
ceive specimens VIII secure something
which Is well worthy an honorable
place in a modern home.
Woman turned carpenter a long

worked with nothing at all. soap
box. q few barrel slaves and some
rough boards and broom sticks were
her materials: and with these she
evolved so-called furniture which did
not amount TO much from point OF
beauty or usefulness.
But the lady carpenter Of to-day
works quite differently. 1t is story Of
the lady and the hammer and with the
deft instrument she turns out many a
handsome bit. She calls it new art
furniture. But, called by any name. It
is pretty and extremely useful

preference for the neutral herbs. which
are never nauseating and which en-
dure longer than the artificial scents.
Powdered cloves make a nice hxativa
for other scents.
The object in having the pad very
thick is to afford soft bed for the
silk waists and for the lace waists, the
waists OF panne and crepe, Of chiffon
and Of null. 1t is coming winter and
In the winter time all waists are nice
and waists Of all kinds are worn for
evening
The other paraphernalia OF the box
are soft pads Of white tissue paper
about the size and shape OF your arm
Also some bust pads Of tissue These
are for slipping into the waists to keep
them from crushing and to keep the
silk from cracking.
There are ever so many ways OF IN
ishing the outside OF the box A nice
way calls for thin Japanese mating,
which Is tackled on the outside and
neatly finished with strips Of split
bamboo. Or the mating can be I'm
ished with bands Of tape. Ribbon also
makes good binding, or a row Of gold
tacks.
II you desire you can take and work
the mating before putting II on the
outside of the box and you can do q
nice pattern upon 1t in colored creweIs.
Done in this manner It makes a very
nice Christmas gift
There are those who can paint IN

the decoration OF the box Is sfuple
Lovely designs can be put on without
difficulty and with the expenditure of
very little time.

for dress skirts, but in this case the
box must be little longer and must be
kept strictly for dress skirts 1t should
be long and narrow and supplied with
separate pads to lay between the sepa-
rate skirts.
Shirt-waist suits can be kept In these
boxes and, indeed, almost everything
