inappropriate Christmas
Presents.

I EVERYBODY knows the woman who
give "giftie' without any thought
OF its being useful or acceptable She
seems to take an almost unhoiy delight
in picking out weird and odd things
for us to decorate our rooms with, and
even when she does hit on anything
pretty it Is sure to be wholly unsuitable.
At Christmas or on birthdays she has
perfect genius for selecting the wrong
gift To a friend who loathes anything
"fussy" she will present fluffy neck
piece that drives the tailor made recip-
lent to distraction.
To her artistic relative of the male
sex, who. perhaps, is always ION the
line at the academy, will go two dread
full reproductions of modern French art
quite capable of giving any self respect
ing artist a toothache for a week.
John, the gift giver's own husband,
suffers from a platinum matchbox
bearing his initials in rubies and dia-
monds, although he is of such a Spar
tan turn of mind that he even wears a
pigskin strap on his watch instead of
the more usual gold chain.
But the crowning faux pas is a pair
of tortoise shell and gold military hair
brushes which Mrs. Thoughtless packs
into her trunk and takes down to her
father in the country
She bears them in triumph to the
breakfast table on the morning of her
arrival, and he opens them with the
necessary amount of enthusiasm. Their
there is a GREATNESS silence as he lays
them down upon the table with a quiz
steal smile, and every one bursts into g
roar of laughter. for the poor old gen.
tIeman's head is as bald and shiny a:
a billiard ball.

A HOUSEKEEPER recently knock
ed the handle of her white china
butter dish and mended it with some
white paint taken from the bottom of
an old paint can. It. was thick, with
not too much oil. The paint was ap-
piled to one part of the broken dish:
then the other piece was pressed on.
This was allowed to dry thoroughly
and the dish was as good as new.

Che Giddiness Of Mlnter footwear

with milk.
For luncheon grind the ends OF a
boiled hiSi and mix it with button
onion that has been chopped fine and
a little minced parsley. Put the mix
ture into a pan with little butter and
moisten with hot water or cream. Sim
mer four or five minutes and then heap

For curly bacon cut it very thin and
half cook it in boiling water, then curl
it, fasten 1t in shape with toothpick
and broil it over the fire.
A little grated American cheese
mixed with minced ham used in sand
witches is delicious If the sandwich Is
fried brown and served very hot.
Cold ham is tasty II it is shredded
and cooked in currant jelly sauce. Put
a cupful of the shredded ham into a
saucepan with a level tablespoonful Of

begin to bubble add four tablespoon

black velvet shoes with red heels are
the rage, but in this country women
eliminate these colored heels.
There is quite as much fantasy in
evening shoes. They are spangled, in
crusted with lace and rocco embroid-
cries. Antique MORE, cloth of gold
and silver and chantilly lace are ma
terials that go into the making of the
evening slipper. And there have come
back again little shoes of satin pru-
nellie with narrow ribbon crossed over
the foot and tying at the ankle, an
amusing souvenir of the shoe a la
Pamela of 1880. The charming strap
ped shoes with tiny antique buckles, so
becoming to slender feet, are also in
favor Milady's little feet will literally
fash over the floor when she dances
this winter, for diamonds are en-
bedded in the heels of her slippers
The black velvet slipper pictured has
a butterfly buckle on the toe and an
ornament to match is fastened to the
velvet Louis XIV. heels. These orna-
ments are of silver set with small
brilliant diamonds In less expensive
footwear rhinestones are substituted
for the more costly stones.

If YOU'RE
BUYING FURS

TlHE point to keep in mind II you are
buying new furs this year. said an
authority on the subject, is to avoid
novelties-that is, unless you can af-
ford to discard the furs at the end of
the season. It is the better part of
wisdom to stick to the pelts and styles
that have been tried out and found uni
versally becoming and durable. The
new thing in furs. however. for the wo-
man who must have the latest" is the
scarf and muff set of errnine and seal
skin. Ermine makes the wide, long
scarf that reaches almost to the end of
the dress in front and Is hemmed with
sealskin on it's front edge and adorned
with tiny ermine tails on the outer line.
The accompanying muff Is large and
fiat, lined with the seal and trimmed
with q narrow band of the same pelt
that encircles the center of the muff.
covering a second line that starts about
midway OF the muf at the sides and
ends In a point at the center front.
Ermine tails trim the hand openings.
This design comes made up in a num-
Der OF short nap furs. The novelty in
muffs is the barrel variety. hut the av-
erage shape Is of fat. pillow, saddle or
rug contour.
The new long fur coats are very at
tractive. They have narrow skirts and
are made on the Japanese lines and
look as if the fullness were held in by
drawing the garment together with the
arms. AS a matter of fact, an extra
width of fur is let in under the arm
scyes and disappears in pointed gore
toward the bottom, leaving the edge Of
the garment very narrow to correspond
with the attenuated skirts. They are
being shown in every kind of fur from
fine Russian pony through caracal and
the like to what is called Hudson bay
seal.
Moleskin is one of the favorites of
the winter and is not only used for
whole garments, but for trimmings.
The dark gray of this fur is not becom-
ing to all women. but it serves admira-
bly, as a foil to brighter tints. The
small animals from which 1t is obtain
ed are found in different countries, but
the Scotch mole has the most valuable
skin.
The fitch, an animal that belongs to
Germany, provides a fur that fits in
we'll with the modes of the season. Its
pale golden tints mingled with a brown
that is almost black are very effective
with the right setting. Raccoon fur is
a fad nowadays, and. like other furs of
small reputation, it can with szillful
treatment be made to display unexpect-
ed beauty.
Black marten, Adelaide chinchilla and
fox are among the less expensive pelts
to be extensively worn. Sable, seal,
mink, ernnine. caracal, lamb. chinchilla.
fox and marten alone or in combina-
ton with other furs are all among the
seasons "best sellers

READY MADE BLousEs.

Often in going through a shop you
will see blouses that have cheap lace
or trimmings on them, but are well cut,
though badly finished.
Cheap lace cal be replaced by good
quality, dainty net frills can take the
place of cheap ruffles, seams can be
restitched and coarse embroidery
worked over by hand. If the cut justi-
fies your buying the garment you can
give it an individual touch that will
raise the value of your bargain.
And even when there is nothing no
ticeably cheap or common about the
blouse try to give those little extra
touches. Then you will be in no dan
ger of meeting your new waist on any
other woman at the next street cor

cALLoUs SPOTS ON THE FEET

Those who stand much are often
greatly troubled with callous spots on
the soles of the feet, than which few
foot troubles are more wearing
1t is not necessary to suffer, for the
trouble is generally due to treating
the callous spots like corns and cutting
Off the hardened skin. This simply
makes more torture.
Instead try the pumice stone cure.
Soak the feet at night in hot water in
which a lump of washing soda has
been dissolved. After this softens the
callous parts rub them with pumice
until most of the callous disappears.
For more severe cases try tying up
the feet in absorbent cotton dipped in
crude OIL; The next morning pumice
can be used with better results.
