antee.


Hanson & Emerson back up their
faith in Hyomei as cure for catarrh
and bronchial troubles with a positive
guarantee that if it does not cure the
money will be refunded.
Hyomei is based on natures way of
curing catarrh. 1t contains concen-
trated healing oils and gums of the
pine woods, prepared in such form
that they can be brought into your
own home, with the same results as
though you lived out of doors in the
Adirondacks, and in this way, you can
be cured of catarrh and affections of
the nose, throat, and lungs while at
home or at work.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
but s1.0O, extra bottles, if needed, may
be obtained for Soc. With Hyomei ca
tarrh can be cured pleasantly and
easily at small expense with no risk
of the treatment costing a penny UNI
less it cures.

RIBBON REMNANTS
THEY MAKE THE VERY DAINTI-
EST OF CHRISTMAS PRESENTS.
Nay Be Easily Fashioned into innu-
merabIe Pretty and Useful
Article That Will Be
Appreciated.

In all the wide range Of Christmas
present making there is nothing that
offers so many opportunities as the
pretty piece of ribbon found or the
remnant counters of the stores. They
are comparatively inexpensive, and
the Ingenious woman easily fashions
from them many a dainty and at
tractive article Of personal adorn-
ment or home decoration that will be
all the more appreciated for the rea-
son that it represents her work more
than it does her pocketbook. We give
here suggestions for a number OF
pretty articles that may be made
from ribbon of different colors and
widths.
It is far easier to contrive smart
little knick-knacks from the wide rib
bons than it is to turn to account
those of narrower make. This is in
great measure due to the readiness
with which they may be converted into
charming little bags for holding hand
kerchief and purse, or for work, and
other odds and ends. One of the most
uncommon models that requires only
a yard of ribbon five and a half to SIX
inches wide is the double bag shown
in the illustration.
The bag from which our picture was
taken was made Of an exceedingly
handsome ribbon of striped design.
Heliotrope, white and black velvet
bands were effectively combined A
thinner kind of ribbon, such as
chine taffetas, could well be chosen,
and might well be sought out because
1t is generally to be had in specially
beautiful shadowy designs, with plain
colored stripes running down the
edges. Our bag is so solid. the rib.

Pretty Den Clock.

A pretty clock for den or carriage
is made of a narrow strip of leather
pointed at the top and fringed across
the bottom. A simple conventional
design may be stenciled on the leath-
er. A second piece of leather is fitted
to the lower part of the strip and
laced with narrow strip Of leather
to hold 1t firm. This forms pocket
for the cheap nickel watch that is to
90 the work. This is held in place by
a leather lacing run under the watch
and through the two strips Of
leather

for the dolls head to slip through.
The two ends should be fringed out
to the depth of half an inch. The
under part Of the pinholder, which
does not show when the whole thing
is hung up, consists of strip Of thick
flannel. both narrower and shorter
than the ribbon. 1t should be either
vandyked at the edges or should be
Over-sewn with fancy buttonholing.
The dolls head is slipped first
through the hole in the flannel, then in
the opening in the ribbon. Take three
yards Of three-eighths of an inch white
satin ribbon and cut the length in
three Tie one piece round the dolls

of this as a loop by which the holder

curved out into a bold scallop. By
way of covering for the cardboard
foundation wide ribbon may be turned
to account 1t may be brocaded, or
plain, as may be more convenient. If
the latter, some kind of embroidered,
or applique. decoration must be added,
and as many extra trimmings in the
way of twists and little bows of mar
row ribbon as the worker thinks ad-
visable. When joining strips of rib
bon to make a large and firm article,
such as the top of this bag, it is ad-
visable to choose them as far as can
be of the same texture. The bag
would not set well if stout corded
ribbon were to be placed next to a
thin, soft gauze, but the thinner
makes are, all the same, useful for a
dozen other purposes. Gauze ribbon,
in particular, can be employed for the
daintiest of scent and camphor
sachets.

TO MAKE A PLAGUE.
Easily Made Novelty That Will Please
Many Friends.

Pictures are always welcome to both
sexes. and unique way to fix the
smaller ones is to get some plaster Of
Paris, mix it with water until it will
pour nicely. and then, after you have
carefully placed your picture
or unmounted Photograph the bot
tom of porridge plate, pour in the
plaster of Paris. Then dry in a slow
oven, or let it stand for several hours.
When the mixture is perfectly hard,
tap the bottom of the dish, and your
PLAGUE will come out as smooth and
clean as the plate itself, and the pic
ture will be so imbedded in the plas>
ter of Paris that the edges will not
show at all. This is a very nice way
to treat an amateur photo or head
of one of the old masters. If it is a
subject in which the recipient is in
terested he will prize it very much.
To get the hanger" on, turn the
PLAGUE on its face. place loop of
string a little above the middle, ex-
actly centered crosswise. and put over
it a dab" Of the plaster of Paris.
When this dries tie PLAGUE is ready.
and will hang fiat against the wall.
Different shapes can be obtained, of
course. by using differently shaped

bon being extra thick, that when 1t is
in use it is firm enough to stand up
right upon a table. This adds greatly
to its general convenience.
To make the bag, fold nine inches
OF the ribbon over at each end towards
the center. Take a needle threaded
with silk to match the edge color and
sew the sides of the ribbons together
for a distance of SIX inches and half,
starting from the fold at each end.
There will, Of course, be four seams
in all. These make the two divisions
of our double bag. The few inches of
ribbon that are left free must be fold
ed in so as to form two hens, each
nearly two inches and three-quarters
in length and having halfinch wide
casing in each to hold the draw
strings OF half-inch ribbon of some
suitable color These strings are run
through the casing in the ordinary
way, the heading of the bag being
considered as if there were nothing
at all uncommon about it. The rib
bon should be tied together at the
ends into a crisp bow, which can be
held in place with a few stitches hid
den away in the center.

shape.
Serge is a good material for the COW
ering, but, if a thinner fabric only is
available, it is as we'll to line it first
whit thin flannel or even with calico,
or something left over from the family
dressmaking. The narrow ribbons are
arranged in lattice-fashion, as evenly
as possible, across the front of the
holder after it has been covered. 1t
will be seen from the illustration that
the bands are so arranged as to inter
lace and, at every point at which
they meet, brass paper fastener is
run through them and to the. wrong
side of the board, where it is secured
in the usual way. AS much trimming
as the worker pleases may be added
in the way of bows or rosettes of rib
bons.
The absence Of a sensible. pocket in
the skirt of a fashionable dress is a
sore grievance with many people.
Rather than be without pocket, they
would be pleased enough to have a
costume of less modish cut, but such
4 thing is beyond the powers of a
good dressmaker, part of whose bust
ness it is to run with the times and to
make costumes as, demanded by the
fashion, whether they are practical or
not. This is apt to press hardly upon
middle-aged and elderly ladies, and
they are obliged to resort to the expe-
dent Of attaching a pocket to the out
side of their skirts in which to keep
the various trifies that are in most
frequent use.
The making of such a pocket affords
an opportunity for turning to account
about three-Quarters of yard of soft
black satin reversible ribbon five
inches and a half wide. The pocket
has an inner compartment in which
small purse may be slowed away,
the handkerchief being carried in the
outer division. Cut off five inches and
a half of the ribbon. Hem it along
each of the cut edges, and lay it on
