and as first impressions are always the
most lasting the manner In which the
remembrance is got up oftentimes goes
a long way in the pleasure of 1t. A
quantity of pure white wrapping pa
per can be bought for small sum,
and with one or two pieces OF baby
ribbon in white, light blue, pink or
green. which can be had as low as 10
cents apiece, each containing ten yards,
you can do up a multitude Of your
Christmas offerings In way that will
be delightful, says the Philadelphia
Record A more elaborate idea, new
this year, is to tie them up in cracker
bonbon style in Grape tissue paper and
ribbon. This costs a little more than
the first way named, but Is very eff
fective, and the cost can be reduced
by craping the paper yourself and tying
with baby ribbon instead Of the wider
