cially when they come from a close
friend.
Among these dress accessories we
mention the neckties made of plaid
ribbon, to wear with stiff linen collars,
and which come in various styles and
shapes, belts made of narrow Roman
striped ribbon and attached to a gilt
buckle, elastic girdles, which may be
had in various sizes and designs, with
buckle. etc.
Toilet articles. round hand mirrors,
powder boxes, plated and silverWare
articles, button hooks. shoe-horns, hat
brushes. etc. are both useful and eX-
needingly pretty presents, as are also
silver spoons, a set of nut picks and
aracker. etc. Cold cream and salve
lars. little soap boxes for the toilet,
y pretty comb or hair brush. with pol
jshed handle, and scores of such lit
tie articles for every day use are never
out of taste; and they are not expens-
i've. either.
For the baby why not make de-
parture from the usual selections this
year? Toys and toys have been show
cred upon the little one until he knows
not what to do with all of them, and
something else would be welcomed
with glee by the little cherub. A tiny
silver-plated napkin holder would be
comfort to the mother and a great
pleasure to the baby for years. Such
an article can be had for from 25 cents
and up. There are MANY designs OF
this article. one of them having a lit
tie silver chain to go around the neck
and hold the napkin in place while
in use. Then there is the little sill
yer set of knife. fork and spoon for
the baby who is old enough to use
them. They come in plush paper boxes
and sell for 81 or $1.25. and will last
till the baby has outgrown them. A
very pretty and useful article for the
baby is a silver cup. One that is
Mated may be had for 35 cents or
Whereabouts, and his initials may be
engraved on the side. 1t will always
be a pleasure for him to use it.
A girl who wants to get something
for her mother can find very nice
present in a silver mounted clock
with no larger dial than the face OF
mans watch Such clock costing
$3.50 or little more will prove
reliable time keeper and be a JOY to
the tired mother who has to get the
meals and does not have clock handy
in the kitchen to note the flight OF
time
Books, inkstands, writing materials,
fountain pens pocket knives, and va
rjetv of similar things are all useful
gifts for the Younger set of folks.

Suggestions for the Housewife.

A pinch of salt added to the coffee
will improve its aroma.
Milk changed from a cool atmosphere
to a hot kitchen will sour in very few
minutes.
Try dipping lamb chops in lemon
Juice just before broiling them. They
are delicious.
A few drops of lemon juice added
to scrambled eggs while cooking will
improve them.
If freshly cleaned tiles are rubbed
over with paraffin, they will keep clean
for long while.
To remove fly specks from vanished
surfaces, use equal parts of water and
skim milk warmed.
Discolored china baking dishes can
be made clean as when new by rubbing
them with whiting.
To blow out a candle, hold it high
and blow upwards. This will prevent
the grease scattering.
Glass which has become dusty must
De thoroughly busted off before it is
cleaned in any other way.
A cloth saturated in gasoline and
rubbed over porcelain bowls, tubs, etc.,
will remove dirt like magic.
When frying eggs have the fire low
and slide them about the pan to pre-
vent burning the thin whites.
New bread should be cut with hot
knife. 1t may be made hot in front OF
the fire. Slices cut by it will be as
even as if cut from a stale loaf.
When starching any article finished
with fringe, gather the fringe tight
ly in the hand and dip the material
only in the starch. When dry shake
thoroughly, and either beat the fringe
on the edge of table, or comb with
large toilet comb.

SUGGESTIONS for Christmas Gifts.

SUGGESTIONS for Christmas Gifts.
Christmas is the time of cheer and
gift giving, and the custom of making
a present to most of ones relatives
and near friends has become so root.
ed in the national fibre that every one
feels he or she must give something.
What to give and where or how to
get it are thoughts now absorbing
the thoughts of every one. Those
whose purse is not so thickly filled
IS they would like to have it find 1t
hard to come to any satisfactory solu-
ton of the question Perhaps some
of the suggestions below will help
some of them over hard places.
Christmas wishes may be sent
through the attractive postal cards
which are shown appropriate to the
season. They are cheap and form a
very acceptable little gift to friend
at distance.
There are on the market hundreds
of pretty calendars that would be very
appropriate to send to friends or rel
atives. They may be had at from
ten cents and up. Memorandum books,
diaries, pretty little pictures, and nu-
merous articles of similar purpose are
also very appropriate and acceptable
If one has had his photograph taken
lately have few extra prints made
and mounted on some new design of
mount. They are always delight to
the recipient.
One kind of gift that will never go
out of style and that may be had In
any design is a fine handkerchief. This
is a useful and pretty gift and will al
ways be appreciated. The better
grades of goods should be selected, If
the purse will permit and it is always
good to have the initial of the friend
on one corner of the kerchief
Under the same category comes the
necktie scarf There is no end of
designs for these scarfs, and they may
be had in any color and at any price.
Young men are especially delighted to
receive such gifts.
For a girl friend one can. scarcely
find a more suitable gift than the
collar and cuff SET of which there are
a great variety to be had. Ribbons
and many other dress accessories also
are highly priced by the girl, espe

To Keep Cake Fresh.

Cut a slice of new bread about an
inch thick and place in the tin with
the cake. This will keep the cake
fresh for some time. The bread must
be renewed when stale, says Home
Chat. An apple placed in the cake
tin will answer the same purpose as
the bread. and should also be renewed
when withered.

L GANG BUSY.

The old gang is very busy on
the eve of the Democratic primary
conventions, which are to be held
tomorrow. Its members Ire deter
mined to get control of the dele
gates to all the conventions even
if foul means have to be resorted
to. They will stultify themselves
and bring their party into even
greater disrepute in order to do
this and really stop at nothing to
accomplish their ends. They may
think they are playing a 81 game,
but any one can easily see their
handd by taking the time to do so.
And now it is upto the Democracy
of Harrison county to say whether
that gang, which has been denounc-
ed by fair-dealng and honest-thnk-
ng Democrats for years, shall still
manipulate their party in the in
famous high-handed manne as of
yore. Let no Democrat be deceiv-
ed by honey-combed words. The
old gang have their plans fully laid
and are working the wires for all
they are worth.
