Gifts for Masculine Friends

OF all the gifts that a girl makes at
Christmas, says The Delineator for De-
cember, those to her masculine friend
must be guided more by propriety than
by the purse. She must especially guard
against making the gift too personal.
The following list may help a girl To
make up her mind: An umbrella with a
handle of wood, its only ornament--if she
wants to put the money In it--a silver
plate with his full namo and address en-
graved on II; a pair of military brushes
in ebony with initials I'm silver; half-
dozen linen handkerchiefs with his init
ials In the corner; a. simple silver photo
frame; a leather card-case or bill-book In
plain color with his name and address
printed In black or gold across the inside;
a soft leather bag, the top run through
with a silk cord in which he can keep his
clean collars, and which is admirable for
a travelling bag; portfolio OF leather
with compartments for paper, stamps.
safety ink-well and pens.
He may like something for his desk
a reversible calendar In brass, small
clock; a carved ivory paper-cutter; a
brass tipped botting-pad. or a hand blot
ter. Gloves, a silk muffler, knitted era
watts and other things he can wear are
permissible II you have known him from
childhood and regard him much as you
would a brother or cousin.

Frocks for tiny children cannot be
made too simply, for since II is necessary
to have n great many OF them In order to
keep the little ones as dainty and sweet
as they should be. both the making and
the laundering are points to be consider
ed. Nothing could possibly be simpler
than the little dress illustrated, which Is
made in one piece from neck to hem. and
needs no other trimming than the inser-
tion and edging indicated. The dress Is
ox-pleated back and front, the pleats be-
ing stitched TO position to yoke depth and
below hanging free TO the hem. The
sleeves may be made short or full-length,
as desired. Batiste, nainsook or other
wash material is generally chosen for
making little frocks of this type, though
a soft wool or washable silk might be
used For the 2-year size yards of "a
inch material will be required.
