that the average girl desires to make, such
as bowls, porringers, spoonA, ladies. boxes
and an tic small silver OF the table

To start with, there arc several broad
principles to remember in doing metal
work. One Of the most important Is that
any amountof hammering on metal makes
1t hard and brittle, so that annealing at
frequent intervals Is necessary. Now this.
as any other opera tion in metal work,
seems rather complicated to the novice,
but 1t La oil very simple once the process
Is known.

SUGGESTIONS for Christmas Gifts.

for friend who wears cloak or evening
gown of brocade q bag Of the same ma
tcrial bordered with silver lace and tied
with silver ribbon and tnssels will surely
be an acceptable gift.
Metal frames can be bought in all sizes
for every kind of bag. and instead of the
ribbon and gold strings to fasten the new
est bags many have a stiff frame. For
an opera bag or any kind of a shopping
bag the stiff frame Is often preferred.
Powder boxes. batpln cases, nairpin
boxes, appurtcnances for the writing
table. book racks and book covers. vel
cnses. handkerchief cases. even card
cases, are now all made in the Oriental
pattern brocade, with its threads Of gold
and silver interviewer. instead of the or1i-
nary silk brocade which was used so
widely only year ago.
And this brocade. which formerly
was used only in the field of house
decoration. has now invaded the worli
of dress. A large pillow muf bordcred
all around with band of fur can easily
be made by any girl who will take The
time to fashion a pTcttily shirred satin
facing for the brocadc and "a nicely bn-
ishcd small fat satin covered mun. OVER
which the wide brocade piece is laid and
sewed only across the centre of The
brocade. which falls down over the mun
on each side For IN older sister such
mun with a collar to correspond would
make most attractive present.
Small round mulfs with d border Of fur
at the wrist openings are also very smart
in brocade. and as they require much less
brocadc and fur they are consequently
less costly to make.
To fashion a collar for brocade muh
1t Is only necessary to make a rucbc OF
the material, line it with satin and border
1t at each end with fur, finishing the col"
lar with u ribbon rosette over the hooks
and eyes or else ribbon streamers TO tie
the collnr beneath the chin. Instead of

effective aud quite little lower i'll cost.

DROPS vALUABLEs IN RIVER
Scranton Man Lets Satchel Go Over
board from Hoboken Ferryboat

In his anxiety to recover a handkerchief
that the wind was driving along the upper
deck of the Hoboken ferryboat Binghamton
yesterday morning Philip Westerman, of
No. 1922 Caperise avenue, Scranton, Penn,
dropped overheard a satchel that contained
jewelry and vaIuab valued at s1.2O0.
Westerman and his bride. who was Miss
Emily Hoffman, were married Saturday
night and arrived at Hoboken yesterday. to
sail today on the Kaiser Wilhelm II. Their
trunks were sent TO the steamer. and they
decided to spend yesterday in Manhattan,
and carried with them a suitcase and the
satchel.
Westerman was standing against the rail
on the upper deck. with the satchel held in
his right hand, resting on the rail. He was
mopping his forehead when a sudden gust
sent the handkerchief flying from his hand.
In reaching for it the satchel slipped from
his hand. struck the edge Of the deck and
bounded into the water. The ferry officials
and police were notified.

WIFE PoLICEMAN's ACCUsER
Winner of Gold Medal for Bravery
Charged with Attempt to Kill.

Patrolman George R Little. attached TO
the Eldridge street station. was held by
Magistrate O'Reilly. in the Manhattan ave-
nue. court, Williamsburg. yesterday, to
await the action Of the grand jury on a
charge by his wife of attempting to shoot
her.
Mrs. Little said that her husband took
her to live with his mother, at No. 6 Clin-
ton Place, Cypress Hills. and that she was
compelled to leave the home of her mother
in-law and return to that of her mother.
She attributed the alleged attempt on her
life to Little's anger at her appeal to the
Department Of Charities. which resulted IN
a letter of warning TO him that he must
contribute to the support of his wife.
Little received a gold medal for risking
his life in saving mother and two children
from blazing building three years ago.
