Cover Hatpins For Christmas.

The latest fad is to cover hatpins.
Does that sound strange? 1t is not,
however. for if you possess a plain
and u~nattractive pin and wish to give
it the cachet OF. originality all you have
10 do is to embroider a tiny disk Of
black satin or any shade that you pre-
fer with gold thread, put the disk
over the head Of the pin. tie it tight,
and the deed is done If you had Il
jeweled pin and the real diamond. or
whatever it was. has disappeared, COW
cr a small button in any way you like
and paste 1t into the empty space left
by the lost bit Of glass. If a hatpin
is too small, make a little rosette of
gold tissue and run the pin through
h middle.
The ways of decorating such pins
are really too numerous TO mention in
detail. but n one may do it and get
the best results with the least effort
and expense. Indeed, it is not diff
cult 10 make.

A Pin Case For the Schoolgirl.

a dainty present for the Of Il
schoolgirl is the eel useful pin case
In a form that appeals to her love of
decoration.
a small bisque doll head has fasten-
ed around it's neck two pieces of satin
ribbon three inches wide and ten inch
eS long. This is gathered in such a
way around the neck Of Il doll that
it appears to be dressed in a long,
straight slip of silk.
Between the ribbons are shorter
pieces of flannel, as many Is are de-
sired. Each piece is featherstitched
in the same color as the ribbon, or it
may be pinked. Through the flannel is
stuck white and black pins, safety
pins, colored pins of all sizes, such as
are so useful in the adjustment of
stocks and belts.
If one knows the color Of the Don
decorations of the girl for whom the
pin case is intended it should be made
of Il harmon1Zing color.

Baby Bibs.

A baby cannot have too many bibs.
and there is nothing a mother appre-
ciates more than gift bibs for her baby.
A pretty bib is made of sheer lawn,
embroidered with the transparent en-
broidery which consists of catstitch
done on the wrong side Of the material
for the flowers and simple outline stitch
for the stems and scrolls. Set the en-
broidered lawn on to a heavy linen
back. Trim the bib with an edging
of valenciennes lace. With this bib
can be given one of the silver fasten-
ers. which are new and useful.

A New Laundry Bag.

Here is a laundry bag that cannot
elusively conceal in it's depths any
small article. This new bag is very
simple in construction. 1t is a square
Of a yard or more of IN material that
is strong enough for the purpose.
Bright cretonne is very good. This
square is hemmed and each corner
turned back half an inch. On each Of
the blunted corners thus made is sewed
a loop of tape four inches long. Small
er bags can be made in the same way.

Soldier SUIT Fot small Boys.
Boys from six to twelve years Of age
always love to play at soldering, SO
why not make one Of them a sure
enough rough rider suit in which to
indulge his warlike ~proclivities? There
are patterns on the market that make
such a suit a simple garment to manu-
facture. The material used is khaki,
with brown trimmings. The suit con-
sists Of jacket and regulation long
trousers. The jacket has q number of
pockets with pointed overlaps. The
same pattern trimmed with red and
yellow cotton strips cut up into fringe
could easily be transformed into an
Indian suit, and with a feathered head,
dress the costume would be complete.
