GIVING AT CHRISTMAS TIME.

Among the dainty and inexpensive
triles for Christmas gifts are enveI-
ope sachets decorated with Yuletide
verses in Old English lettering and
sprays of holly in water colors. They
make dainty little remembrances in
themselves or can be used to slip into
the veil case. glove box or Christ mas
writing paper.
A novelty of the season is the hat
stand of wire covered with silk
They are SO nice for travelling instead
of the usual hat stand
Now that pincushions have come in
again after the long reign of the tray,
why not give one as gift? Very
pretty ones are made from the gay
colored silks and embroidered linens
and also from wash ribbons. Satin
cushions with dainty covers make a
pretty gift.
Shirtwaist patterns make a splendid
emergency gift and dressing sacques
make a very acceptable gift. Simpli-
city in a dressing sacque is a strong
point in it's favor. Made of dainty
barred dimities or soft silks, they are
very pretty.
Since beaded work is so much used
this season, a bag would be very pref
~ done in the colors Of the street
suit and beaded belts are also among
the favorites of the season.
One Of the most pleasing gifts would
be an embroidered napkin ring To
make this. one end is pointed and has
q buttonholed loop at the extreme
point. The other end is straight and a
small pearl button is sewed on two
inches from the end. The loop fast
ems over this and the ring is complete

windf1owers nodded, winking their
snowy blue eyes; birds whisked about
to fetch straws and scraps for their
building, and the grass, bright green,
but stubby. wore a changing spatter-
work of sun and leaf.
Marylyn let drop her bonnet and the
cow horn that hung by a thong to her
wrist Then, with folded hands, she
looked up and around her, shifting the
warm air in delight The Texas home
had never offered such a lovely retreat
There the arid mesa had grown thorny
mesquite, scraggled cypress or stunted
live oak for a shade. Sand had whirled
ceaselessly before a high, hot wind.
No flowers had bloomed but the pale
toadfax and the prickly pear, and be-
side the salt lakes of that almost wa
terless waste had nested only the vul-
ture.
But this! 1t was like the blossom
strewn plain that burst upon them as,
desert wearied, they Travelled into cen

She caught up bonnet and horn and
chose a seat close to the river. Before
her was a gap IN the knotted grape
vine heaps that chung along the brink
OF the bank Through It, yelled only
by some tendrils that swung wishfully
across. lay wedgelike vista Of mud

The midmorning sun gllnted upon the
treacherous current, upon the wet grass
of the bottom land, upon the green
brown bluff and the Calling at its top,
upon the far, curving azure of the sky.
Against the dazzle, her blue eyes
winked harder than the breeze tossed
anemones. Stretching out upon her
back, she rested them in the shifting
canopy OF foliage.
4 startled kingbird flashed past her,
coming from a tree by the cut. She
got up and saw q man IN uniform
standing near. He was a young man,
with a flushed face and wildly rum
pied hair. In one hand he held a tas-
seled hat and in the other a rife.
He leaned forward from behind a
burberry bush, and his look was
guilty eager and admiring.
AS startled as the kingbird, she
grasped the COW horn and lifted it to
her lips.

TROUBLE IN FUDGE.

Many girls have trouble in making
fudge that is creamy, rich and smooth.
The trouble lies in overlooking. The
candy should always be taken from
the stove the minute it makes a soft
ball that can just hold together when
dropped in ice water. II allowed to
cook longer, the fudge will be stiff;
If less time is given il will be gritty
and sticky.
Beat hard with a wooden spoon. It
is better than the wire heaters, as il
permits more vigorous whipping. DO
not add the vanilla until the chocolate
has cooled slightly. Pour into creased
pans while the mixture is still thin
enough to smooth the surface viii
not be glazed when cold
FOR CHAFING DISH.
The girl who has put away her
chahng dish because she IS tired OF
fudge and rarebit. should try this reci-
pc for eggs and mushrooms. 1t came
from an old English cook book, printed
ages before anybody ever heard Of a
chatting dish. Slice a dozen button
mushrooms and two onions and fry
them together in butter. Turn into
