 James E. McCready, who has been station agent at this place something over three years, has been assigned the station at Brookfield Junction, and left for that place this week, moving his family to Danbury. The towns people rerget this change very much as MT McCready's family made very desirable addition to the village and both MT and Mrs McCready as well as their daughter, Maude, will be missed from the church and social life. It saddened their many friends to see them leave, but MT McCready con sidered the change necessary for the educational advantages of his daugh- ter and granting that they know best their own requirements, the well wish es of the community follow them.

which will not make the pocket too
long. The pocket must, of course, be
just as long as the motif Of the design.
The materials needed are three pieces
of cardboard about nine inches long.
The length, however, depends upon the
design of the paper which is to be
used. The cardboard is just the
length of the design. The three card
boards are of graduated depths. They
are straight on three sides, and on the
top they are cut in the shape Of the
design Of the paper. Sometimes the
top line is straight and rounding, and
again it will have large scallops. A
design should not be chosen which has
too small a pattern.
All Of the cardboards are covered Oh
the outside with the bordered paper
and inside with plain Grape paper.
Perforations are made at equal dis
tances in the three pieces along the
bottom and sides. The p~erforations
along the bottom are close enough to-
gether to permit of the sections of the
pocket being laced together. Only
three holes are necessary along the
sides. Ribbon the color of the flower
in the border is used to lace the Sec
tons together and fastened at the ends

NIGHTDRESS CASE.

with a dainty pink and blue china silk,
beneath which is laid a single sect Of
sachet scented wadding.
Every girl who uses baby ribbon
would be delighted with a ease filed
with three or four different shades as a
Christmas gift. Here are two attrac-
tive ways to prepare such a gift: For
the first take a long, shallow paste
board box just wide enough to hold a
ten yard roll of baby ribbon and long
enough for as many bolts as you may
wish to give. Cover this box neatly in
side and out with wall paper or a pref
ty fancy silk, first having made as
many small Sits on the top as there
are bolts Of ribbon.
Paste the covering on the box. and if
1t is found difficult to turn in the edges
neatly around the Sits do not attempt
1t, but cover the roughness with a mar
row edge Of gilt paper fer braid.
Put the ribbon in the b. 'irst hav-
ing removed the paper and rewrapped
the ribbon and put n end through
each slit so it is about an inch on the
outside of the lid. If these ends are
fastened through bodkins, for which
narrow strips have been provided on
the top of lid to hold them in place, it
will add much to the convenience of
the gift.

The Christian Mother,

Perhaps our finest human exhi-
bltlon of true spiritual leadership
and service is that of the Christian
mother, and we all may learn of
h@. She is a queen among her
children, and rules them with the
sovereignty of love. No one es-
capes her dominion. and he would
count it as torment if he could
escape. She teaches them by her
own sweet example to wait upon
her, and upon each other and upon
all around them, with a service
that is not felt to be service, and
that is contagious. It may be
easy to give money if We have it
1T may be easy to grant favors and
do deeds of courtesy and mercy;
but to make the atmosphere
and attitude aud habit of our in
most living the spirit of Christ
like service, as Christ meant it and
exemplifed it-that must be the
very crown and contamination of
character The Examiner,

ed a suit case set. So many people use
the suit case, but have never been able
to overcome the difficulty Of keeping
the shoes and brushes from rubbing up
against their clean linen. There are
three different articles in this set, all
of which are made Of coarse linen.
The receptacle for shirts is in the shape
of a large envelope, the edges bound
with braid, and should be large enough
to contain two shirts.
The bag for collars is made from the
same material. The bottom is circular
and made from pasteboard. A good
idea is to sew to this a strip of paste
board about two inches deep. These
should be covered with the linen be-
fore being fastened together. The up
per part of bag should be full and
gathered with a drawing string. This
protects the collars from crushing as
well as keeps them clean.
The third article In the set is a plain
linen bag lined with oiled silk. This is
intended for sponges and protects the
contents Of the suit case from the
moisture of this toilet necessity after
it has been used. The hairbrush can
be put in this bag if no sponge is used.
The monogram car be embroidered on
the outside.
To make a slumber robe for baby
take two and a half yards of plain
silkoline, three bolts Of No. 1 ribbon,
one skein Of Shetland floss and one bat
Of fine cotton.
Divide the silkoline into two equal
parts, place in a frame and put in

these is not exorbitant, any one of
them may be made at home from odd
pieces Of ribbon, ch1ntz, silk or linen,
which, with the addition of a bit of
hand embroidery, make pretty gifts.
The shoe bag or case is a useful ar
ticle which also may be constructed at
home at a trifing expense from almost
any material u chooses, provided it
is heavy enough to keep its shape.
Either linen or cretonne is particularly
effective, the four pockets accommo-
dating two pairs of shoes or slippers.
These pockets are bound and fastened
to the cas- with ribbons or tape match
ing or harmonizing with the material
of the case, in the top Of which are
set four brass eyelets. In this way the
necessity Of lacking In place is avoid
ed. the eyelets being slipped over
brass hooks screwed in door OF wall.
A convenient pocket pincushion and
pin case are bowed with ribbon and
set above the shoe pockets. When
travelling the ase is simply rolled and
tied with a matching ribbon tackled at
one end on the outer side.

How to Make Attractive Desk BIotters
and Wall Pockets

per. One of the most attractive of
these paper articles is a desk blotter.
The usual size for a woman is eighteen
inches deep by fifteen wide. The mate
rails necessary are one piece of card
board Of the dimensions mentioned and
a second piece half an inch less in each
dimension. The pad is cover4 with
Powered paper on the lower side and
has Powered paper corners Plain
Grape paper is used to cover the top of
the pad.
The largest of the cardboard rectan-
giles is first covered with the Powered
paper. The paper is folded over the
edge to a considerable depth, at least
an inch and a half being desirable. Its
edges are then pasted neatly down,
care being taken to make neat corners.
The smaller cardboard rectangle is Gov

When they are covered a margin of
paper is left IN the equal sides, and
this is REINFORCED by a narrow strip of
muslin. This margin is turned over and
pasted to the upper side of the card
board, which is to form the bottom of
the pad. The upper part of the pad is
then laid on the lower part, and they
are pasted neatly together. The cor
ners, of course, go underneath the pad
corners. The pad cornerssare not past
ed down along their long side, as it is
desirable to have them free so that
new blotters may be slipped in and out
at will.
A wall pocket of paper may be made
which contains three pockets. For this

COLLEGE EIaus,

College flags are quite simple to make
for Christmas gifts, but require care
and much precision in putting the let
tiers on as we'll as in cutting them.
A good plan is to cut the letters from
stiff cardboard and trace around them
on the felt, afterward cutting with a
sharp knife.
In mounting on the felt background
paste them on with a very thin coating
of photograph paste and couch around
all edges with many strands of silk
caught down at regular intervals with
a single strand of the same color.
COUGHING means to hold the heavy
cord or many strands of silk along the
edge Of the thing to be outlined and
stitching across it and through the ma
terial with the single thread in the
needle.

tying.
Tie the ribbons all in tiny bows.
Thread the needle with the Shetland
floss, using it double. Bring the needle
up from the bottom, then down again,
taking a stitch through n Of the
bows. Tie the yarn on the wrong side,
with three or four extra needles tied i II
the knot to make a small tuft.
Continue the knotting in this man
ner, beginning with two and a half
inches from the edges, making the
tufts four inches apart. Turn in the
edges all around and %buttonhole close

Crochet a row of shells around the
quilt, each shell Of five double crochet
fastened with a single crochet and
placed close enough together to make

On the right side, just inside the

Pretty opera bags are always a vel

desirable receptacle for glasses.
Candle shades covered with pale

Perfumed coat and skirt hangers are
popular, and so are the ribbon cases
that contain the glass tube hatpin

Really beautiful utility cases that can
be hung upon a wall or rolled for
travelling are made from ribbon. To
make such an article get half a yard
Of ribbon that is six inches in width.
Turn down an inch wide hem at the
top and along the bottom gather and
sew on a thin piece of silk the same
size. This is then divided into pockets
and the upper edge shirred. Runners
the length of the case, dividing it into
sections, should then be put on the in

that can be made from ribbon by first
cutting two pieces of cardboard into
heart shapes. These hearts are covered
on both sides and form the bottom and

gathered on both edges, one Of which
Is sewed to the heart at the bottom.
Then a lining of plain soft silk is set
