SOME ELEVENTH

Even the girl who has spent her spare
~a>un.nts since midsummer manufacture

a,l4i hour. one or perhaps more names

christmas list. She turns TO the shops TO
iiiad the best of the little ir:nkets picked
nat. and the remainder high priced TO
catch the eager and .ardN buyer. There is
no time tor her To set many elaborate
stitches. and Vet her work-basket ano
piece bag need onl! linus and sugses-
ttons TO WELD some fetching little gifts.
Travelling has become SO common in the
average American home. that little con-

trunk TRAY. and bound all the way round
Mill braid of a contrasting color. Inc

ITS owner in mercerized floss 10 match the
brad. and pieces of tape are fastened near
the corners of the cover, in length sum-
cieHt TO tie under the tray. Such a cover. |
of course. is not needed with the old-fash- |
Toned trunk whose single tray has u lid at
tached. but the new trunks are made up
from nnulnerahle trays without lids, and
here the washable cover is most useful.
Fog "a man traveller. and particularly for
:: college boy. a clean COLLAR bag is a most
handy little remembrance. Heavy linen
canvas, or lightweight denim should be
used for this purpose. Two disks of card
board four inches in diameter are covered
with the linen 10 form the bottom of the
pouch or bag. Between these IS inset a
strip of cloth nineteen or twenty inches
long and eight or nine inches deep. This
is gathered on to one of the disks and the
Other is seed over it firmly, so that there
is no raw edge on either the inside or the
outside of the BAG.
The upper part OF this IS run with a
double hem and a strong tape or braid is
bacco pouch. This will hold four or FIVE
clean collars and is less bulky thar a
e Gather box. In making il for !, man, do
not employ delicate colors, or use ribbons
for dra wsi rings. Make it plain and strong
and IL viii satisfy the masculine heart.
