on the banks of the Rhine. At night
when you lay aside your silken robes
you lay aside your teeth also. Two

IUST FOR and
ABOUT WOMEN
Why Men Don't Shop

When do the men do their Christmas
shopping? That's what inquiring females
would like TO know.
They're not in the stores. To be sure the
aisles are thronged but almost entirely
with the sterner sex, which, when it
comes to a shopping bout, means women.
You may search from Dan to Beershe-
ba. which means from stockings to hats.
without finding more than few helpless
nasculines sprinlSled among the Amazon

DO they shop at midnight, or before

all the burden of It on their wives and sis

stores yet" says another young woman.
blessed with two bachelor brothers. But
Just you wait until the last day before
Christmas, and more especially the last
night. Then you'll see them dashing about
in the shops like mad. dragging with them
their unhappy sisters for assistance. Men
never shop until the last horn blows and
then they never know what they want,
nor who they want it for. nor how much
they want to pay. Oh. know, because
I've had experience"
''Well, 1 can tell you why you don't see

A CRITICAL MOMENT.
The Daring Play That Won For the
xhedtve OF Egypt.

The Daring Play That Won For the
Hxhedtve OF Egypt.
Sir Edward Malet in Shifting Scenes
carries the reader TO Egypt at a STIR
ring time in the history OF the khedive
and shows how courage won the day
for him. When the moment came for
the bombardment OF Alexandria the
young khedive refused to take shelter
on board an English man-of-war, say
ing that his lot lay with his people
He was khedive in nothing but name,
the whole power having passed into
the hands Of the rebels, and his
chances OF escape were hardly greater
than those of a martyr in a Roman
arena before the wild beasts were un-
tagged. They did not send wild beasts
TO tear him, but they did send cap
tain and his company with orders to
dispatch him.
The wit and presence OF mind OF the
khedive changed what was intended to
be the supreme tragedy Of the revolu-
ton into a comedy. He saw the band
of soldiers coming toward the palace.
When they arrived. prepared for re-
sistance and intending TO break in the
doors, they found the aid-de-camp Of
the khedive at the foot Of the great
staircase. He met them civilly and
told them that the khedive was expect
ing them and that he had given orders
that they should be conducted at once
to his presence. Half sobered by the
unexpected reception. the soldiers
mounted the grand staircase and were
ushered into the presence of the man
they had been sent TO murder.
He stood alone, calm and unhurried,
in the center OF the great reception
hall. He at once addressed them, tell
ing them that he knew the errand on
which they had come, but that before
they carried out their instructions he,
like every man who was condemned to
die, had a right to speak. To this they
agreed. and he proceeded to explain
the situation with a quiet good sense
that won their attention. He told them
that in the long run the greater power
must conquer; that as matters stood
he had the pledge of the English TO
maintain him as khedive, but that II
he no longer existed they would be
likely to take the country for them
selves, and that therefore from a patri-
Otic point Of view they had better let
him live.
After discussing the matter at some
length in this strain he proceeded to
play his last card. He told the officer
in charge that he would at once raise
him in rank and confer upon him the
order of the MedJidie. With regard to
the soldiers who accompanied him, he
would constitute them his personal
bodyguard at that moment, as they
might already have perceived that he
was very much in want Of soldiers
Thus It came about that the little band
which had come TO kill remained tC

HOWtO Make Dainty Gifts

Not until you have seen the pretty
things made of paper can you appreciate
its possibilities in the making Of gifts.
A really beautiful scrap basket can be
made Of stiff cardboard covered with
fowered crepe paper. Cut the four sides
and the square bottom from the card
board, curving the top in any desired de-
sign. Get that particularly pretty pale
green crepe paper with the design of
green ferns, and cover the cardboard on
both sides with this. drawing it snug.
The fern design should stand up from
the bottom Of the basket. Use ribbon of
pale sea-green satin to tie the corners
together, making two bows Of one-inch
width up each corner and at the top of
each corner a soft bow Of wider ribbon.
A wild rose. or violet or chrysanthemum
paper basket would be equally attractive.
In the same manner smaller and shall
lower baskets may be made to serve as
hair receivers. The corners may be either
stitched or gummed together.
A nice trihe may be fashioned Of two
hearts of pasteboard, covered with rose
pink crepe paper and gummed together.
with white pearl-headed pins stuck in
all around the crevice between the two
hearts 1t is hung by rose-pink baby
ribbon and bows. A pretty scrap of
small-fowered wall paper could be used
instead Of the crepe paper.
The prettiest possible twine holder is
made by cutting a straight strip OF card
/ board about three and a half inches
wide and eight or ten long. Tack the end
Of this together cover with white crepe
paper edge with a heavy white and silver
cord, fasten big ball Of white twine in
side. and suspend by a big white satin
bow.
In much the same manner an attrac-
tive holder for a whislk broom may be
made. cutting and shaping the cardboard
smaller at one side than the other.
With several pieces Of pretty fowered
or pale-tinted crepe paper and some satin
ribbon for bows, prosaie pasteboard boxes
may be transformed into dainty recep-
tacles for gloves. handkerchiefs, collars,
pins and laces. 1t is best to pad the
boxes slightly with soft tissue paper un.
der the outside covering.
Needlebooks may be made Of card.
