imam others, as 1t is probable that the own
ers Will have chains of different lengths,
Some of the spaces should be large enough
to hold the long chains of large beads
which are so popular. If the box has trays
then the upper tray may be partitioned
into spaces for the small chains and the
bottom tray into two or, three large spaces
for the large chains.
Another method of arrangement Is to do
without partitions, the chains being ar
ranged as at some of the jewelers. The
trays for this should be shallow and across
one side there should be a row of small
spikes The chains may then. be fastened
together when not in use, and looped over
these little spikes or hooks, which will
keep them from rafting about in the box
The separate nests, however, are much
more attractive and keep the chains better.
A circular box may also be arranged for
chains In this fashion. A circular space
may be left in the center of the box. Around
this there is a circular partition. Larger
and larger circular partitions are placed
at Intervals in the boxuntil all the space is
used up Between each two partitions
there is room enough for a chain. The
largest chain can occupy the outer ring, and
so on into the center. Very large chains
can be put aroung several times.
The chain boxes, like all the others, are
covered with brocade and trimmed with
furnished gold lace and French medal

of beads and sernf-preeious stones white

ing the Table.
The best way to digest hearty holiday
meal is to enter into some jolly games,
and here are few for Thanksgiving day,
which old and young can enjoy alike. The
first one is for entertainment before Ieav-
ing the table, and should be practiced by
one member of the party a~day or two in
advance. Simple as it may seem at first
glance, it is practically impossible without
practice to do the entire stunt and not
make mistake

The game is started by one person and
tried by each successive person around the
table. At the least failure to do the stunt
exactly as the first person did it, the one
trying gives up his turn to the next one
at table and waits for the circuit before
trying again.
With finger and thumb on drinking glass,
each person repeats Il drink to the health

it once on table, lifts it to the lips as II

the table with one rap. Then the first
finger of the right hand is rubbed across
the right side of the upper lip. and the left
hand finger similarly across the left side
eff the lip just once each and in succession
Now the right finger taps the table once,
then the left finger once. In the same
order one finger on each hand taps under

is good for collars
The boxes should usually be made of
thin wood. You may either buy them or
have them made very cheaply by a cabinet
maker 1t is quite possible, however, to
use strong pasteboard boxes, reinforcing
them all over with strong muslin and
doubling this on the edges. Sometimes the
IDS are made to lift entirely off, in the
regular pasteboard boxes. Usually how
ever, the lid is hinged at one side so that
1t will lift up easily If an ordinary paste
board box is used the sides of the lid
would have TO be cut off, leaving just the
top This, covered inside and out, should
be fastened at the back and have perhaps
fastening made by a loop of ribbon or
gold cord In front.
A glove box made in this fashion of an
ordinary pasteboard box, long and mar
row, had been reinforced first with strong
white muslin. In order to make the sides
thicker and to improve the appearance of
the brocade covering the sides were then
covered with thin cotton flannel. The lid,
from which the sides had been cut away
was covered inside and out with thin
layer of cotton batting, and the inside of
the box was lined with the same. The
favorite sachet of the person who was to
receive the box was sprinkled literally over
the cotton.
Before the outer covering was put on the
lid 1t was hinged to the box by strong
pieces Oh uDDteaGHeQ lIluSilD, pasted

Aade Boxes in French Designs for Christmas Gil

~HRISrMAS time comes on apace and
for the woman who must make all

~ who prefers TO make them the

Is all too short deliberately made boxes
are among the particularly up-to-date
things to give this Christmas. OF course,
the Christmas gift depends entirely on the
tastes of the recipient. and yet each sea-
son there IS a fancy for some particular
little gift suitable for ones woman friends
and Just the thing TO Interchange with
those of dainty taste. who in boudoir and
drawing room, as well as in personal attire,
like to be up with the fashion.
This year the fancy boxes are considered
the ideal gift for such a purpose.
They all have some characteristics in
common They are all decorated in French
designs, and they are almost all trimmed
with gold lace. They are all also covered
with a handsome fabric, brocade. satin.
plush or velvet, which is all the better for
being old and rare, but which in any event
must be rich, luxurious and expensive In
effect.
Among the French designs employed in
the decoration of these boxes the empire
is at present on the very pinnacle of fash
ion. Everything Is empire this season.
Furniture. as well as coats and hats. and
ones fancy work, should not be behind the
procession. All of the fanciful French cos
tune periods are, however, used in minia-
ture TO decorate the boxes and baskets.
Sometimes the medailions are painted or
printed on satin or silk, but In most eases
a delicate little French print. copy of
some delicate court scene or a miniature OF
Il dazzling French beauty is chosen.
The boxes are of all sizes and shapes
and are made to serve many purposes
They are TO be used on desks for station
cry. postcards, letters-all of the thousand
and one things that a woman uses on her
desk. For the b0udoir table they may be
used for gloves, handkerchiefs, collars
laces. hat pins. wells and innumerable
items of the toilet. On the drawing room
table or chimneypiece they are some
times kept for storing away small tribes

they may serve as a cigarette box for the
master or mistress of the house, according
as the household is advanced. Nothing

Operation-Asks $15,35o
Damages

AS sequel to a recent criminal ac-
ton brought against DR., o. M. Justice,
a Los Angeles physician, by H. T.
johnson, a steam-fitting contractor
civil suit for $15,95O damages was filed
yesterday against the physician in the
superior court.
The trouble between Johnson and
Justice arose over a criminal operation,
alleged to have been performed on Mrs.
Johnson by DR.. Justice while the wom-
an was employed in his office as as
sistant.
Johnson swore out a warrant charg-
ing DR.. Justice with having performed
a criminal operation, and the case was
heard before Justice Young in the
township court. The complaint was
dismissed on a non-suit because of lack
of cumulative evidence.
When Justice was released Johnson
vowed all kinds of vengeance. He re-
tanned Attorney Danforth and the civil
suit was Immediately begun.
Johnson alleges his wife's health has
been permanently injured and that he
has suffered mental anguish because
of the trouble. The case will be heard
in November.

Hospital

Edward Tallfrey, who was removed
from his rooms at the Terre Haute
lodging house at the instigation of the
proprietor and taken to the receiving
hospital, where it was discovered that
he was suffering from opium poisoning,
died yesterday afternoon.
The proprietor of the house heard
Talfrey groaning in his room and re-
ported the case to Patrolman McCarb.
The latter was obliged to break open
the door to the mans room. 1t is
believed that the poison was pur-

he is a pastry cook. He took the
