FROM WOMAPS
POINT OF VIEW

Giving presents can hardly be Joy
when II is a matter OF etiquette or fan
cied conpulsion. The true Joy Of giving
is found IN following the dictates Of the
heart as far as the purse viii permit and
where that is we'll understood there are
no unpleasant thoughts and unwelcome
sacrifices. To the best Of my knowledge
a score or women are paying the penalty
Of belated Christmas gifts by pinching

II is distinctly uncomfortable to have

be repaid in kind. II the woman to whom
such presents are sent is sensible she will

Facts About Crowns.

The lightest of European crowns IS the
state crown of Great Britain, which was
made for Queen Victoria siXty-six years
ago. Although it weighs only two pounds.
seven ounces, its value is $1.6O0,O00. One
enormous sapphire came from the signet
OF Edward the Confessor. One Of the
rubies has a sadly tragic history. 1t was
at one time in the possession Of one OF
the great kings Of Granada, whom Pedro
the Cruel invited to his palace and basely
murdered through greed of this gem. II
the Pope's treasure house are two crowns
which are valued at $2,5oo,o00. One OF
them was the gift of Napoleon to Plus
VII, and contains the largest emerald in
the world. The other, the gift of Queen
Isabella of Spain to Plus TX, weighs
three pounds and is worth sl,000,000.

There are both round and square aprons.
The material is Persian lawn, and costs

Cut stencils may be bought for q cents
