CHRISTMAS CHEER
FOR THE INVALIDS

It has been my experience IN working
with invalids. both rich and poor, that
their greatest happiness comes IN feeling
that they are able. no mattsr in how
small a way, 70 do something for others
says a writer. so why LOT, in planning
for their Christmas cheer, remember
and act accordingly.
Instead of gifts for themselves. give
them materials to make up into little
things, old magazines for compiling
scrapboOks. money to buy the cheap toy
for the wee kot who sometimes gladdens
the sick-room. souvenir postals, already
stamped and full of Christmas sunshine
to be passed on, viii afford heart warm
iny occupation for several days.

In FaD0r This Season

Overskirt draperies in every form that
the fashion artist can design are PLAYING
a prominent part In the winter modes.
They are C. distinctive feature OF after
noon or reception gowns, and some kind
OF gauzy drapery, whether sash, tablier,
or pannier, IS likely to be seen on the
evening gown also.
Satin crepe. liberty satin, crepe meteor.
chiffon cloth. Cachemire de sole. and
chiffon velvet are fashionable fabrics
for afternoon gowns. The majority Of
such costumes are made with a short
sweep, though some women prefer the
skirt in walking length whenever It Is
TO be worn on the street at all.
These daytime gowns for ceremonious
occasions or for the afternoon tea hour
admit the use Of gorgeous materials in
Colors more conspicuous than for the
morning suit, but often they are soft
ened by an UndertOne Of copper or a
silvery gray. This softening OF the
bizarre Oriental colors produces the
most charming effects imaginable and
renders the tones more adaptable.

WRITING MATERIALS

NV suggestion for one of the most
acceptable Christmas gifts for a shut-in
would be a cheerfuI-lOoking box full OF
stationery. a fountain pen, an ink
eraser. blotter. and calendar. writes a
correspondent. Then secure some names
Of the people 20 whom the invalid often
writes and stamp and address several
envelopes for each one Of them. This
will bring a thought Of you to the
friend every time she opens her box

a package Of postal cards, on which
she can write a hurried line Tie UP

ribbon. and II YOU can not get a gay
looking box, cover one yourself with

Turkey Prices Rise
With LeSsened Supply

For the most part, the market this
morning reflected the brisknesy Of the
atmosphere. and there WAS No oppor-
tunity for the prudent buyer to take
advantage Of an easiness in prices.
There was a steady demand in all
lines. Turkeys went up a cent this
morning, owing TO a decrease IN the sup
ply, and this Increase viii probably be
maintained from now until Christmas.
Turkeys are not used now as In for
mer years exclusively at the holiday
seasons, but there Is an almost steady
demenG for them from hotels and some
few private families, thus keeping the
market on a more even basiH.
Nearby fresh eggs show no signs Of
going up again They will probably re-
main al an easier figure while the stor-
age supply is being disposed OF.

Collectively Mrs. Copeland's things
might be called first aids TO the puz-

likes unique and unusual articles Of

occasions which beset the paths Of the
fashionable. will discover more aids
IN a minute IN Mrs. COpeland's collec-
ton than the average winters day
shopper in her limousine would unearth

Knowing how TO wear pretty clothes
Rs well as how to design them. Mrs.
Copeland has put her personal expert
ence to account. wherefore the ladies
who live in the Derfumsd but strenuous
atmosphere which surrounds the so
siety leader find their wants Putcipat-
"a and supplied. One Of the ideas which
bears the mark Of real genius IS
sort Of impromptu dinner gown. Figure

possibilities Of this unique creation.

elaim to consideration comes in the
TACT that the attractive garment looks

chalantIy places her fetching robe
Jver her shoulders. fastens three beau

pretty nearly dressed for dinner.
To finish the undertaking, she dons

which frames her face in thrilling

coQuettish little piece Of headBear has
q few pink rosebuds and forget-me-

As II this were not enough to be-
