tremely useful things can be made by the
girl who is at all skilful with her needle
that it would be impossible to name them
all.
One of the new ideas is to buy at g
of the stores a small paper covered book
of ordinary white steel pins and cover the
outside with a pretty ribbon. The latter
must be five inches wide, and three-eighths
of yard will be enough to cover two
cases. The ribbon is turned under the
flaps of the paper cover and then the sides
are overhanded neatly together. a piece
of baby ribbon put around the case,
tackled in one or two places and then tied
in bow, makes a pretty finish.
Another simple and very useful gift
is a china silk cover for talcum powder
box. For this a quarter of yard OF
silk is required. quarter of yard of
gold lace and three-quarters of yard of
gold ribbon gauze an inch wide.
First cut two small pieces of cardboard
the shape of the bottom of the talcum
box. Cover each of these with a piece

ment it will be apt to spoil the whole
pattern. In printing stamp quickly and
firmly.
= HIS sort of work is practical. for the
reason that if done in oils the bureau
covers, cushion covers and the like
may be laundered-if carefully done-with,
out injuring the design. A set of curtain,
done by a young girl which is pictured
in the illustration gives an idea of what
may be accomplished in block printing by
experts in the art. In this case the blocks
were of several sizes and shapes. and as
there is a block for every color, it can
readily be seen what exquisite results can
be obtained The curtains are quite as
handsome as any that are imported, and
though the preparation Of the blocks
meant a good deal of work, once cut they
can be used indefinitely. The adaptation
of designs in another interesting feature,
for a girl of ingenuity can pick up pretty
patterns almost anywhere if she uses her
Los Angeles herald., 1909-12-12

of silk and then whip together Next
cut piece of silk twelve inches long
and high enough to reach to the neck
of the talcum box, allowing for a tiny
hem on top and bottom and sew this on
to the pieces already covered with silk,
shirring it evenly. OF course the silk
must be Joined at the side. On the top
sew a piece of gold metal ribbon and
pull in around the neck of the box by
piece Of gold gauze ribbon and tie in
a bow. These covers look particularly
well made of old rose silk, but if blue
is preferred silver ribbon and lace should
be used.
Many lovely and artistic articles, such
as book covers, picture frames, &c, can
be made of odd pieces of old brocade or
silk combined with bronze braid, and
among the other things suitable for Christ
mas gifts are the doll work bags described
a few Sundays ago. Writing boards COW
cred with brocade or ehintz, with pockets
for paper, pens and so on. Small flet
lace candle and lamp shades are also al
ways acceptable.
Los Angeles herald., 1909-12-12

in the classes at the Y. W. G. A, where
some of the best block printing in the city
is done by the students. The color is
mixed in precisely the same way with gum
tragacanth or dextrine and the pad is
done away with.
| There is a trick in preparing the fabric
for printing, for it must be first absolutely
free from creases so that the design shall
be printed evenly. Some girls take an
old ironing board and lay over it several
thickness of CLOTH over which the fabric
to be printed is tackled. The depth of
material aids in obtaining a correct i'm
preston and transfers the paint more
evenly to the goods. 1t is always advis-
Fable to take advantage of whatever aids
one may, such as using pins to guide the
eye in placing the design correctly.
Should one block be placed out of align
Los Angeles herald., 1909-12-12

EVEN if strictest economy must be
practised in all other departments OF
- her outfit. a girl should make every
effort to procure pretty set of furs. An
old suit will look wonderfully better II
good furs are worn with it. while for
afternoon a smart boa and muff of white
fox or lynx fur will often make simple
tailor costume suitable for the most elaDo'
rate wear a school girl could want.
White furs may not be so fashionable
for the grown-ups this year, but for young
girls nothing is so much in vogue.
The collar piece should be quite wide
and fiat, unless one large single animal DC
worn and the muf be wide and flat to
correspond Instead of plain satin to line
n fur collar shirred or tucked chiffon cloth
is generally used this year, and in the
muff, too, is seen at each opening mar
row ruching of chiffon.
| For school wear a small fur tie IS ok
cellent. 1t is warm and looks trim and
neat with a severe coat collar. Mink and
brown caracul and brown squirrel are
attractive made up in this way.
The muffs for this style of collar should
not be too large. For school wear 1t is
mistake to have costly furs, for no fur
can stand steady usage day in day out
without quickly becoming shabby. a
school girl, of course, should never wear
too handsome furs, but even lynx or
pointed fox is too delicate to give salts
factory everyday service.
The newest muffs this winter are eX-
tremely large and quite fiat. For young
girl these so exaggerated shapes are never
in good style, but her seal or caracul muif
may measure easily IA by - inches with
out being at all conspicuous. The long
Los Angeles herald., 1909-12-12
FURS FOR THE SCHOOL GIRL.

haired furs look even larger when made
up, although in actual dimensions they
are not generally as large as those formed
with furs of short haired animals.
What to do with old fur pieces is often
quite a problem. Any kind of work ON
fur is sure to be most expensive, the price
for renoyating muff or stole being often
well in excess of the original cost. A long
stole or fat collar and even frequently a
round boa can generally be patched up
and attached directly to the collar of the
jacket of the walking suits.
The new style of opening so far down
has brought into great popularity the fur
collar fastened directly to the coat Ger.
tainly this fashion is deiciously warm
one, but without fur collar nothing is
more miserably cold in midwinter than a
jacket fastened but few inches above
the waist line. BY attaching an old stole
in this way the worn part of the fur can
be dispensed with altogether. Collar and
reyers on the coat should be finished be-
meath the fur piece. so that if at any time
it be preferred not to wear the fur il can
be removed and the coat still be ready for
use.
Frequently a fur collar is attached to
the coat by clasps, or is simply basted on,
so that it can be changed from one gar.
ment to another, and coat worn at one
time with attached collar, at another with
a long fur boa.
From muif too shabby for further Use
in its original capacity can be concocted
a most attractive small hat for skating
motoring, or, if combined with cloth OF
velvet, for regular school wear. One small
hat will be found of inestimable comfort
las a change from the wide. brimmed felt
that is so conspicuous at the moment il
schoolgirl fashions.

stamped quickly and firmly on the ma
terial. A different pressure will be needed
according to the quality of the material
used. A light pressure is given a thin
material and a firm impression such a
fabric as burlap or crash. In fact, the
latter frequently must be hammered in
order to receive perfect impression both
as to line and color.
1t is the aim to get a good impression
we'll colored without too much paint, so
that it is best after pressing the block
on the pad to wipe off any superfuous
color with a piece of waste cloth that it
is advisable to have at hand. In fact. 1t
is always safest to test the result on some
odd pieces of material before putting it
to the final test
Los Angeles herald., 1909-12-12

Not only ink and oils, but dyes and the
opaque colors may be used, but either
deXtrine, mucilage or some iXatiye must
be added to give the proper consistency.
If oils are used they should first be di-
Iluted with turpentine or kerosene and then
thickened with dextrine, the idea being to
give the color with the least amount of
paint used. The same method is followed
with the dyes and Opaque colors, though
to the former may be added simply muci-
lage.
Great care should be taken lest the color
lie in too great quantities on the left, else
the block will take up too much and the
design be spoiled. Many craft workers pre-
fer TO apply the color to the block with a
broad fiat brush, and this plan is adopted
