Homemade Dainties

n HRlSTMAS is coming and all the
industrious ones are beginning
to wonder what they will make
to!. their friends, what kinds of Offer
ings they can design that will have
two .virtues-evidence Of loving care
and real usefulness
Each year there are many new things
placed upon the market: some are really
beautiful and some are merely practi-
CAL Each week from now until the be-
ginning Of the holidays l will print two
pictures OF little dainties that you can
make at home for Christmas. and i.
will be my aim to suggest not only pref
ty but useful things, and 1 hope that
You will like them.
And the littLe presents tina: will
write about for You will not be espe-
cially difficult to make, and they will
have a third virtue which I have not
mentioned = the crownirg beauty of
economy. Nothing / suggest will be at
all elaborate. and while some may re-
Guire a few tedious stitches the result
will amply repay all trouble.
In the first place. there Is the little
lavender sachct. 1t is made of cream
colored scrlm and is embroidered in the
cross stitch with little flower design
worked in lavender silk, while a. WALL
of-Troy is done around the outer edge
of the sachet to hide all evidences Of
the stitching.
TO make this little gift. one would re-
quire a five-cent package OF dried Law
ender. bit CT muslin measuring six
by ten inches a piece OF Scrim eight
by twelve inches. and three shades Of

EASY TO MANAGE

The bag is then finished, for havenf
you guessed that the skirt is the plac,
where the sewing materials are kept!
You see it is quite easy to manage
Tor all you have to do is to unite the
sash in the back, and the pink taffets
will pull out to form the mouth Of
really roomy bag. The foundation
sewn tc the bottom of the skirt viii
keep the needles and threads from be.
ing tangled. and it also keeps dolly'a
skirt hanging beautifully.
OF course. it would never do to have
to take off dolly's skirt ever. time
you wish to get thimble or a spooI
of cotton. SO the waist and the skirt
are sewn together across the front.
Then, when the bag is opened. the lit
tie lady, from the front view. will,
to all appearances. remain perfectly
dressed.
The black cape hides all evidences OF
the ribbon casing both i'm front and
back, so no one would suspect the
dainty doll of being anything moro
useful that she looks.

As to the making up OF the picture frame

almost any stationery firm. it might even be
passepartouted.' i have chosen it because think
ii will be design that will take comparatively
little time to embroider. for there very little OF
1t. and the stitches employed very simple.
A really economical and ingenious woman
could easily mount the frame by cutting out the
square for the picture, shipping 1t at the
and putting the whole frame a piece of card
board cut the size and arranged with a
corresponding square The edges should be
pasted fiat TO the wrong side of the cardboard
Now the next thing to do would be to adjust
the back. To do this. another piece Of card
board exactly the same size as the front of the
frame; cover it with linen to match the material
on which the embroidery is done, and paste it on
three sides to the frame, leaving the fourth side
unpasted. so that the photograph may be sipped
in.
II Is very difficult Of course, to arrange stand

siidll brass rings are easily sewed to the back

Covered Hatpins

TIVE latest fad is to cover hatpins.
Does that sound strange: 1t is
not, however. for, il you possess
plain and unattractive pia and wish
10 give it the cachet of originality, all
YOU have to do is to embroider a. tiny
disk of black satin. or any shade that
you prefer, with gold thread; put the
disk over the head of the pin, tie it
tight, and the deed is done. If you had
a jeweled pin and the real diamond, or
whatever 1t Was had disappeared cover
small button in any way you like and
paste it into the empty space left by
the lost bit of glass. If a hatpin is too
small. make a little rosette OF gold lis
sue and run The pin through the middle
The ways of decorating such pins are
really too numerous to mention in de-
tail. but any, one may do it and get the
best results with the least effort and
expense. Indeed 1t is not difficult.

JON the two ends SO that the ribbon will
make circle and put two gathering
threads round the bottom. Pull these
up so the ribbon may be secure, with
an overstltch, all round the edge of the
basket At the top of the ribbon fasten
bone rings at intervals OF two inches all
the way round. Run through these a
piece of two-inch ribbon in a shade to
match the darkest color of the design in
pompadour ribbon, and, if desirable,
make a few pockets of this narrow rib
bon by sewing it to the inside of the
bag. l think, however. that this is hard
ly necessary, for the basket is SO salts

everything sepa rated.

simple process, if you woui cute it salts
factorily. One is, see that your material is
level-cut and folded by 'hrcad-and that
your design is placed upon it evenly at every
point.
The second is, when placed accurately,
secure the design to the material with thumb
tacks or pins so that they cannot slip during
the operation.

blue, red and yellow. / advise the use of the
lighter colors when possible as the black and
blue are so liable to crock
Do not rest your hand or fingers upon
any part of the design you are trans ferring,
else the imprint of hand or fingers will be as
distinct upon the material as the drawn lines
of the design.

HUGHES BOOMERS READY.
Committee of Republican Club Or
ganises for Campaign.

The con,mittee of twenty-five appointed by the
Republican Club TO work for the nomination OF
Charles E. Hughes for the Presidency met ana
organized last night appointing James s. Lel,maer
chairman Ora Howard vice-chairman and James
Talcott treasurer.
Three committee were also appointed-one on plan
and scope another to enlist the active cooperation
and assistance of the nine hundred and odd non
resident members of the club many of whom i've
in other states and the third to obtain the CO.
operation of other Republican organizations in this
and other states After the appointment OF the
committees and a long discussion on the general
situation the committee adjourned subject to the
call of the chair.
The committee plan and scope will meet the
early part of next week and will map out tenta-
tive plan of campaign. 1t will outline plan by
which the Hughes movement may be systematically
and powerfully brought before the nation.
From the letters that the committee has re-
ceved" said Mr.. Lehmaier. 1T is evident that the
interest in the Hughes movement is deep and wide
spread. Most significant of all, these letters have
come from all parts of the country. proving that
not only is Governor Hughes known and admired
in his own state, but also in other states. These
letters seem to me to do away with any idea that
the Hughes movement is merely local one, or one
confined to this state. The letters show clearly
and they from representative Republicans-that
Governor Hughes has strong following. which
looks upon him the most available and strongest
Presidential candidate"
''Wi this committee ask the Governor to
press himself national questions of vital inter-
est?" he asked.
No, certainly not We all know-every man
knows-that Hughes is absolutely sound on ma
tional questions of vital interest 1 reason
why he should out and state his position
each and every one of them. We all know him,
and all know his record and he well
afford to stand that. In my opinion. the most
important issue of the coming campaign will be
the governmental control and supervision of pub
lie service corporations 1 think it would be a
mistake to insist upon the Governor making
statement national questions
Il believe that shortly there will be such an
outburst of popular sentiment for Governor
Hughess nomination that the Republican party
cannot fail to hear it and answer it at the ma.
tional convention by giving him the nomination
Mr.. Lehmaier said that the plan of campaign
would be mapped out and adopted soon pos
sible. The subcommittee will meet frequently
from time time well the committee itself,
and every effort will be made to carry the
Hughes movement in aggressive and telling
manner
OF the twenty-five members of the committee
twenty-one were at the meeting last night.
