TWO PRETTY HOLIDAY GIFTS
Slipper Case or Sewing Bag Both
Welcome and ServlceabIe
Present.

A slipper case and a sewing bag are
delightful holiday gifts. which are
easily made and very useful to the
receiver. They may be made from
any stray pieces of bright-colored
silk. linen. chintz, satin. denim or, in
fact, any material of that kind; or, II
desired. the slipper case may be de-
veloped In pink-fowered cretonne
bound with dark-green braid.
The loosely gathered sewing bag
has an outside flap, which contains
the needle book, and a pretty fancy
is to embroider the owners initials
on the outside of the flap. Fancy
brass rings are sewed to the upper
edge, through which is run the ribbon
which regulates the fullness about the
top. and is used to hang it up by.
The slipper case. which is divided
into compartments and stiffened by
means of cardboard interlining, re.
Quires seven-eighths yard of, material
% inches wide or five-eighths yard &c
inches wide; either with ~ yards OF
tape to bind and two hangers. The
sewing bag needs ~ yards % OF
more inches wide, with ~ yards Of
braid and seven rings.

BARGAINS IN CHEAP STUFF
Few Deft Touches Will Frequently
alive Garment an Entirely Differ
ent Appearance.


Often you will see real bargains
In frocks and blouses on the ready
made counter. Do not give one look
at the cheap lace or trimming. or at
the way the seams are finished, and
throw 1t back. Buy yor bargain. take
1t home and redeem and regenerate
It.
Cheap lace can be replaced by
good: dainty tulle or net frills can
take the place of cheap rufies; seams
can be restitched and coarse en-
broidery worked over by hand. II the
material and the cut justify your buy
Ing the garment at all. YOU can give it
an individual touch that will raise the
value of your bargain Is per cent.
And even where there Is nothing
noticeably cheap or common about
the garment, try to give those little
extra touches; then you will be In no
danger of meeting your new gown
on another woman at the next street
corner.

BY JULIA BoTToMLEY.

r HEP influence of Oriental ideas is
j more evident in our millinery
styles than for many year. The
dressier turbans for evening wear ap-
pear to be pieces Of rich fabric draped
about the head and fastened with gor-
geous looking ornaments of mock
jewels. Gold and silver tissue and
jeweled bands are used In these.
For day wear turbans made on
larger frames show crowns in hand
some fabrics, such as heavy brocades,
tapestries and gold or silver tissues.
Tinsel nets are draped over silk nets
or lace. Nothing Is more popular for
the brims or "coronets" than bands
of fur. This is. in fact. the furriest
of seasons. Fur bands appear about
the bottoms of handsome gowns for
street or visiting and on the fllmiest
of fabrics for evening wear. Lace
hats with collars of rich fur and hats
Of all descriptions share with the
gowns the smart touch of fur.
The San Juan islander. [volume] (Friday Harbor, Wash.) 1898-1914, 1910-12-16

For less expensive millinery the
turban Of velvet is the most effective
that can be chosen. In order to get
best results. good quality of plain
velvet is selected or one Of the
"panne" velvets in good colorings
The latter are a little less expensive
than good quality In plain velvets.
Fancy feathers and wings are cho.
sen for their decoration.
1t takes about a yard and a half of
velvet to make a turban. Rows of
parallel shirrings confine the velvet
to the frame, which may be either of
wire or Of buckram. A soft crown
should be supported by a lining of
crinoline.
Fabric hats are much in evidence.
Silks, satins, velvets, brocades, tapes
tries, figured ribbons and colors of
various descriptions, all are cast in
the play for winter millinery, but vel.
vet holds sway in the star part.

CHAPTER XVII.

Mr.. Vancourt Henniker was not
greatly surprised when Tom Gordon
asked for a private interview on the
morning following the final closing
down Of all the industries at Gordonia.
Without being in Gordon's conf
dence, or in that OF American Aque-
duct the banker had been shrewdly
putting two and two together and ap-
plying the result as healing plaster
to the stock he had taken as security
for the final loan to Colonel Dubbury.
Il thought, perhaps. you might wish
to buy this stock, Mr.. Gordon" he said.
when Tom had stated his business. "Of
course, it can be arranged, with Mr..
Farley's consent to our anticipating the
maturity of his notes. But with a
genial smile and glance over his eye

Tnero was something wrong With the
dumping machinery OF the siax-car,
ana two men were working with ii on
tne Side away from the splitting slope.
Gordon had not breath wherewith 20
shout; moreover, the sarety valve was
still screeching to gulf all human cries.
Farley was lying face down and mo-
tionless. with the twisted foot still
held fast in wedge shaped crack IN
the cooled Stag. Tom bent ana lifted
him: yelled. tugged, strained, kicked
fiercely at the imprisoned shoeheeL
Still the vise-grip held. and the great
kettle on the height above was creak-
ing and slowly careening under the
winching Of the engine crew. II tina
molten torrent should plunge down the
slope now. there would be two human
cinders instead Of one.
Suddenly the frenzy, so alien to the
Gordon blood, spent itself, leaving him
cool and determined. Quite method
cally he found his pocket-knife, and
he remembered afterward that he had
been collected enough to choose and
open the sharper Of the two blades.
There was quick, sure slash at the
shoe lacing and the crippled foot was
freed. With another yell. this time of
glad triumph, he snatched up his bur :.
den and backed away with 1t In the
fitting half-second when the deluge Of
Stag, firing the very air with shriveling
heat, was pouring down the slope.
Then he fell In a heap, with Farley
under him, and tainted as a woman
might-when the thing was done.
