Folding Hat Boxes for Christ
 mas Gifts.

A folding hat box ofscard board. which you can slip into the bottom of your trunk, is a great convenience and cov- cred with pretty brights lowered paper or cretonne makes a most acceptable Christmas present.
 To make one of the boxes c'lt two square pieces of cardboard the size yeu want the bottom of the box. Then cut four pieces for the sides = the desired height usually is about eight inches. Cut four pieces the same height, but only two inches wide. Cover each of these with pretty cretonne On the wider side pieces fasten ribbons an inch from the top and the bottom. Sew the sides to the bottom square, but do not join the side pieces.
 Sew pieces of ribbon on the ends of each of the narrower pieces to the other square to make the cover to the box. When in use the ribbons tied into bows will keep the cover in shape. The ribbon on the sides of the box proper tied into bows will keep the box part in shape. When not in use the box can be united, the sides dropped down and so the entire contrivance be easily packed
 The sides can be further strengthened by pasting pieces of gummed paper 10 the inside. This paper can easily be re- moved when the box is not in use and will not disfigure it in any way.

A Very Popular Debutante

Of all the debutantes Washington has ever seen ushered into the social arena none perhaps has faced so strenuous 0 season as Miss Ethel Roosevelt who has already begun to be deluged with att tentions and invitations that would par alyze less self-reliant girl.
 It is almost as gigantic an under taking for her to arrange her dates, says a correspondent, as it is for the Pres ident to draw plan of his contemplated route through the African jungle.
 The first affair for Miss Roosevelt was given by Mrs. Garfield, the wife of the Secretary of the Interior and in quick succession came the choosing of a1 even- Ing for an entertainment for the White House bud by Assistant Secretary of the Navy and Mrs. Newberry MT. and Mrs. Charles Glover MT. and Mrs. Herbeft Wadsworth, Rear Admiral and. Mrs. Cowles and hosts of others.
 Miss Roosevelt will be more than usual 1y popular, is a charming conversation alist as well as a good listener and has many other accomplishments besides these.
 In this respect, indeed, it has been said that Miss Roosevelt is 15 years in ad- vance of her age. But she is her fathers daughter and, as the French have it, c'est toua dire.

Caring for the Feet.

Business women usually suffer with del- icate feet. They are away from home so much that they never get a chance to put on old shoes as a rest from the heavy walking boot
 They are often criticised for wearing low ties to the office until the bitter win ter days set in. It is declared they do it for style" It is not generally known that many girls doing office work wear pumps so they may slip them off while their feet are under the desk.
 This may seem queer habit, but it is good one, and many women who would otherwise suffer from having tight shoes on their feet for hours during the day are saved a deal of discomfort.
 If, when the feet are fatigued, one will rub the. soles with a fresh-cut lemon it will ease them After the bath in warm weather they should be sprinkled with a soothing powder to prevent profuse per spiration and swelling
 strengthening bath for delicate feet is prepared as follows: The following herbs must be boiled in five quarts of water for 20 minutes; Dried mint, one ounce; dried sage, one ounce; dried an- gelica, three ounces juniper berries, one pound; rosemary leaves, one pound.
 Use this bath at a moderate heat and leave the feet in it for 20 minutes before retiring. Do this for several nights until the feet are better.

DECISION IN CASE
 OF BESSEMER CLUB

Montgomery. December 1S.-(Special)- The opinion of the supreme court in what is known as the Bessemer Club case is as follows:
 G. w. Herring vs. State of Alabama, Bessemer City Court.
 Opinion by Simpson, J.gThe appellants were tried and convicted of the offense of selling spirituous, vinous or malt liquors in violation of section 1857 of the code of 1907

Water as a Beautiier.
