There is a widespread idea shat such

there are many trifIes which will be
appreciated.

One girl made foot-muffs for friend
who could not afford to add to the cost
of her favorite amusement by buying
heavy fur bags. She made four bags
the size and shape of a pillow case
from dark green burlap. and lined them
with three thicRnesses of blankets
which had grown too shabby for family
use. To raake the blankets look more
attractive they were dyed a bright red.
The top of each bag was provided with
casing and could be drawn in around
the knees and made air-tight.
A set of reliable road maps Of Diff
ferent States is always an acceptable
gift. These can be bought Lound in

in a Russian leather case. but the cost
is often prohibitive.
One young woman who had a knack
at map-drawing haunted the library
and copied on strong paper the maps

FLORIDA NO LONGER HOLDS
MONOPOLY ON EARLY
SPRING VEGETABLES.

The arrival cf new potatoes from
Georgia marks another stage in the
gradual decrcase of F1orida's monopoly
in early spring vegetables. Georgia po-
tatoes now promise to be received in as
liberal quantities as those from the
Everglade State and an easier market
is anticipated.
Strawberries, peas string beans, new
cabbage, lettuce, tomatoes, and other
vegetables, which, few weeks ago.
were shipped entirely from Florida, are
now being received from several other
Southern States.
So far, Florids potatoes have set a
high mark in quality, and indications
are that the Georgia product will do

ers are that the crop viii be as good,
