Gu In a bunch about twelve inches
long, then 1T Is tied In the middle
ana a loop of the baby ribbon that
1T is tied with is lett to hang it up
by, then the two ends of the bunch
are brought together and tied again
about an inch and a half from the
other tlelng, which makes Miss Iii
mains head, the eyes and nose and
mouth are made by red yarn. The
eyes AMI mouth, two stitches taken
crossWlSe and the nose by two stitch
es up and down, then a white dot IS
mace with white yarn In between
the eye, red STITCHES tor the eye et-
tect and the white yarn MARKS the
ups In one stitch inside and In the
center of the two red ones already
made. About a dozen of the strands
OF black yarn r cut at the sides
short enough to represent arms ana
are lett loose below the neck tie and
tied down where the Wrists would
be. Then the waist IS made by tying
the yarn with the baby ribbon and
a sash bow OF the ribbon hangs at the
back, while the ribbon tied round
the neck Is tied In front. Then when
you cut the strands for the arms you
should also cut some, about twenty,
about the same length that hangs
from the back of Miss Dlnah from
where you made your very hrst tie
on the top of the head. These are
braided and hang down the back,
tied with a little knot near the ends.
Yellow ribbon Is used for the tying.
They are cute, and cost about eight
cents when you have to buy every
thing, but If you have scraps of the
red and white yarn or ribbon to use,
of course they would cost less.
A very beautiful Christmas card
can be made by pressing flowers
while yet fresh between plotting pa

the flowers and stems, where the
stems cross each other can be held
to the card with tiny strips of court
plaster, while below, around, or on
the back of the card, write an ap-

on every difficult material that l
have tried it on.
Plain cooking gelatin, / ounce;
alcohol, IS per cent, 10 ounces; ely
cerin, from u to 1 ounce.
Soak the gelatin in water till
quite soft, say half an hour or more;
drain off all the water possible, and
put in a wide mouthed bottle with
the alcohol and glycerine. Heat
gently In a water bath until gelatin
is entirely dissolved. If gelatin is
quite soft, one-haf ounce of glycerin
will be sufficient, and if hard, the
full ounce may be used. IF well
cooked this mountant will keep in
definitely, and you have only to warm
the bottle In a pan of hot water for
it to be ready for use. This quaint
ty will do a long time.
A Sunshiner writes: "When 1 was
young we used to make medly pic
lures. It was in those times hard
work to get pictures, and they were
mostly wood cuts at that, but now
with all the improved method of
making pictures it is easy to secure
material to work with. Cut and
trim your pictures and then paste
them smoothly on cardboard or q
smooth board, just the size your
picture is to be. The edge can be
touched with a soft pencil and rub
bed down very smooth with a smooth
piece of metal. In making a large
picture select for he top, scenes with
lots of sky showing, and for the bot
tom or foreground, pictures of wa
ter, boating scenes, etc.

at State headquarters. Pictures for
scrap books and medley pictures are

pass on to you. They are free to all
who send a two-cent stamp for mail

Those who have pictures to con-
tribute can forward them to head
quarters and we will send them out.
Pictures from magazines will do.

Gibbons.
So many letters of inquiry are
coming to us now, asking if we know
Of ways to make little Christmas
gifts that shall be of small cost.
Sometimes gifts of even small value
strain the pocket book if there is a
large circle of friends to remember.
So we must strain our brains and
our fingers a little more to keep the
pocket book from becoming a "Moth-
.r Hubbard's cupboard"
There are nice little things to be
made that will prove just as accep-
table and perhaps more useful than
c~ostlier gifts.
l will give you some suggestions
that have been sent in to be passed
on, and if you know of any, do send
them in quick, so that others may
profit by them, for "Christmas comes
but once a year" you know, and its
almost here.
From Mrs. Frank S. Smith, of
Asheville, comes a good suggestion.
There is nothing pleases the little
ones more than a picture book. One
all their own, that they can handle,
when and how they choose. This
they get, in a homemade scrap book.
A convenient size is a nine by twelve
inches, and the book itself is made
Of cambria or similar material, with
from four to a dozen leaves, and the
leaves are stitched together through
the middle so that the book folds or
lies open without any trouble. Pink,
blue or grey, are good %colors. Red
and yellow "run," from the damp
paste.
All sorts of colored pictures are
then pasted on these leaves although
those from magazine advertisements,
flowers, animals, automobiles, car
riages, cereal advertisements, ETC.,
are used.
We think this a very practical
suggestion.
Writing of the red and yellow col
ors of cambria being effected by the
dampness of the paste, has given me
the idea that perhaps my recipe fol
a mountant, will be of service to
some one. I have used it three years
and found it worked as well as when
hrst made. It is for use in mount.

BEGIN WORK
BY TWENTIETH
Supreme Court Library Commits.
sion Decides that Today,
Also Definite Location

The supreme court library commits
sion met today at l. n. Smiths Office
with Architect ]. X. Dow of Spokane
and contractors Madgwick & Peterson
to discuss the final steps in construc-
ton of the supreme court library build
ing
The site was decided upon, the loca-
ton being fifty feet from the west line
of the park on Fifth street. The build
ing was set back to give room for a
lawn and landscape gardening pur-
poses.
The contractors are to begin work
by November 20 and complete it in
such reasonable time as is necessary
for job. The committee did not place
any time limit on the construction but
it is expected the building will be COM
pleted in ample time for the spring
term of the supreme court which meets
here in the latter part of March.
