Cover Hatpins For Christmas.

The latest fad is to cover hatpins.
Does that sound strange? 1t is not.

it the cachet Of originality all you have
to do is to embroider a tiny disk of

er small button in any way you like
and paste it into the empty space left
by the lost bit of glass. If hatpin
is too small, make a little rosette of
gold tissue and run the pin through
the middle.
The ways Of decorating such pins
are really too numerous to mention In
detail, but any one may do it and get
the best results with the least effort
and expense. Indeed, it is not diff.
cult to make.

Are You a Bequar?

All the beggars are not holding out
hand to passers-by in the street.
You probably know the man who is
ever whining for help. If a farmer,
he thinks his ueighbors should help
him get in his grain or do his plowing.
If in business, he is always trying to
borrow, or wanting some one to boost
him, or drum up customers. He never
seems to think of relying on his own
efforts. There is a well known fable
about the larks in a grain field. As
long as the farmer depended on his
neighbors and relations to come and
cut his grain the larks felt perfectly
safe. When the man determined to
cut the grain himself the larks knew
it was time to seek safety elsewhere
There are times when every one
needs help, but help should be asked
only when one has made every Dos
sible effort for himself.

Old ENGLISH EaVCrite Drink.

A favorite drink IN the seventeenth
century, alike with men and women,
was known as "Tewahdiddle" This
beverage, which We'd in popularity
with the old English ale, was com
pounded of pint of table beer (or
ale), a tablespoonful o. brandy, and a
teaspoonful of brown sugar or clari-
fled sirup. A little ginger and a thin
slice of lemon peel were occasionally
added. Such a drink would probably
prove insipid to the modern palate,
but Lord Ruthven, in his Experiments
on Cookery" published in 1854, de-
clares that this is a right Gossips
cup, that far exceeds all the ale that
ever Mother Burch made in her life

are patterns on the market that make
such suit a simple garment to manu-.

pockets with pointed overlaps. The
same pattern trimmed with red and
yellow cotton strips cut up into fringe

A Pin Case For the Schoolgirl.

A dainty present for the room of n
schoolgirl is the ever useful pin case
in 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 the doll that
it appears to be dressed in a long.

A New Laundry Bag.

Here is a laundry bag that cannot
elusively conceal in its depths any
small article. This new bag is very
simple in construction 1t is a square
Of yard or more of any 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.

Necktie Holder.

Necktie holders are not new things
in the way of gifts. but they have the
advantage Of being useful and always
acceptable. Two or three such affairs
are not too many for the collection of
ties the college boy or up to date man
has among his numerous belongings.
The newest necktie holder that has
been brought out for Christmas is
oval in shape and about a foot or
more in length. 1t is made of stout
piece of cardboard. which may be pur.
chased already cut in the shops or cut
by the maker of the offering. as de-

piece of grayish heavy crash which

Baby Ribs.

A baby cannot have too many bibs'
and there is nothing 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.

PIPE RACK.

gift that an ingenious woman who is
clever with carpenters tools can make.
This present is a novel pipe rack. TO
make the rack procure four boards
from a carpenter-two eighteen inches
long by six inches wide and two eight
cen inches long by five inches wide.
In one of the latter pieces get car
penter to bore four holes three-eighths
Of an inch in diameter and running
lengthwise in the board. The two end
holes are four inches from the ends of
the board, and all of the holes are two
and a half inches apart. The two
larger boards are joined together by
means of braces. which screw on the
backs with very small screws. Five
inches from the top of the longer side
is fastened the board with the holes in
1t, so that it makes a shelf on the first
piece. Then, five inches below this, is
fastened the other board in the same
manner as the first-by means of
screws from the back. The rack is fin
ished as far as the carpentering goes.
The upper shelf is for the pipes. the
holes being made for them to rest in,
while the lower shelf is for tobacco
boxes, matches, etc.
The next thing is to stain it the pop
ular mission color. Then get screw
eyes and put them on the back, and
through these put picture wire to hang
1t by. The hardest thing is to print
above the first shelf, "a Mans Best
Friend" Paint the letters with gold
paint. which sets off the dark color Of
the wood and gives the rack flushed,
decorative appearance

Two Pretty Presents.

An acceptable present for baby is
the sets of silver safety pins that come
on three rings tied together with a
ribbon. Each ring contains dozen Of
the pins, and all the dozens differ in size.
For the rubber blanket used on the
crib there are slips the exact size made
with small buttons and holes 50 that
q fresh one may be put on with little
trouble. These must bear the embroid-
cred initials of the new arrival.
