We you are looking for something
attractive to make for Christmas
gifts Just stop and examine the
n useful and pretty presents to be
seen In the illustration.
How do you like this novel workbag-
the pagodA variety, which is utterly
unlike those you have made other sea-
sons2 It looks like an odd shaped
Japanese lantern, does it not3 or
course you can make it in any size,
though that of the illustration Ii best
proportioned for general use. Six
tweIve-inch squares are cut from Gre
tonne and a Ave inch circle cut in the
center of each square. When this Ii
done the squares are laid together In
pairs and scanned, the edges being I'm
ished with a binding frill OF ribbon A
row of stitching extends across each
corner about four inches from the
point Of the square. The squares be-
ing finished, the circles are joined to-
gether and the seams carefully bound
with ribbon. An embroidery hoop
wound and ruched with ribbon Is at
tached to the uppermost circle as
means of extending the opening.

the best models of the kind a half

size Is IL by IA inches. A heavy card

any art store, is first covered with
wadding. photographer paste being
used for this purpose. Before putting
on the ribbon flower decoration the
silk il laid over the mount and the
decoration placed in the proper posi-
ton for application. After this is done
the oval should be cut out, care being
taken to cut the oval in the material
at least an inch larger than that Of the
frame, SO there will be sufficient ma
terial to turn in around the cut. A
glass may be used, but it is not nee

frame with the backing is finished with
a gold furniture gtimpe pasted neatly
over the glass or silk.

AIDS TO HEALTH KEEPING.


Lots of women would be better II
they would keep in mind the following
"helps:"
Keep alert Mental ruts make more
invalids than do overwrought innagina-
lions.
Keep physically active. The inert
girl who hates to move Is usually the
greatest growler about her health.
Keep clean. The close connection
between the pores of the skin and good
health is not generally considered care
fully enough.
Keep interested. There is nothing
like a fad or an object in life to put
aches and pains into the BACKGROUND.
Keep busy. The satanic mischief
provided for idle hands Is better known
than the physical mischief that hounds
the woman with time to think about
her health.
Keep away from drugs. Most wo-
men deserve all the slandering they get
for the dosing habit. Walk more and
take less medicine
Keep curb on your appetite. Over
eating Is the menace of the age. The
girl who stuffs between meals pays for
1t in bad skin and a ruined digestion.
Keep smiling, for
No matter how things go,
To remedy sickness and blues
You'll find one rollicking ''Ha-haF
Is worth thousand "Boo-hoos."

WE BAKE 1T NOW.

The indeflnab1e scent which women
give to wearing apparel by sachets that

tubes even being made for insertion
back of high boned collars-are sue
cessful and lasting when prepared in
certain ways.
Orrfs root is a favorite choice. It

as many other floral scents. To make
it lasting there is but one secret A

which answers the problem of preserv-

MUSINGS OF ELINOR HITE

SOME girls possess a fatal gift OF
~ frightening men off. Just on the
very edge of a proposal. when frienos'
family and the girl herself are sure
the man is coming to the point ne
sheers Off This happens time after
time to girl
What is the secret? How can q girl
give a man a little friendly lead" in
love without sacrificing her pride ana
dignity?
The art of managing men comes nat
urally to some women. From their
cradles they know how to twist men
around their little fingers.
Nothing frightens man or more
than the knowledge that a girl 10 dy-
ing to say Yves" before he has made
up his mind he wants to marry her.
A girls very eagerness to please
sometimes scares a man. If he Ii given
nice little tempting opportunities to
propose, in sheer stubbornness he re-
fuses to rise to the occasion. The very
difficulty of getting girl alone for q
few minutes so that he may tell his
love sometimes acts as strong stinsu-
lus to sentiment.
The girl who frightens a man or just
at the finish, when In his heart he
really wants to propose, often blames
fate. Young men of moderate means
are often frightened off by girl who
dresses extravagantly or one who Is
too smart and pleasure loving.
"She's too expensive g luxury for
me-" said a man speaking of a certain
girl The very means this girl used
to lure him into matrimony sent him
flying off to propose to a girl whose
tastes were apparently less expensive.
He didn't know that the girl had ar
rayed herself extravagantly, because
she was really fond of him and thought
her dainty bats would lure him into
double harness.
| Poor little girl Her very efforts to
win a lover had frightened him of.
Sometimes q man who Is paying de-
voted attention to a girl and appears
to be head over heels in love with her
is only silently taking stock Of her
qualities.
why don't you marry Dorothy?"
asked man whom knew to be very
much in love with her.
Because she's SO critical It would
be like marrying a Judge and jury and
sitting in a perpetual dock wondering
what my wife's sentence on me would
be-" was his startling reply.
Men frightened off by delightful girls
often marry some one else in haste and
repent at leisure-and too late.

The powder puff bag shown In the

Vuletlde Packages

Sometimes first impressions are last
Ing, even with Christmas gifts.
Just think for a moment of how dis
gusted you would be at receiving a
gift wrapped in a soiled paper and
tied haphazard with a piece of string.
The chances are that, no matter how
beautiful the gift might prove to be,
there Will always be a certain some
thing in your mind about the present.
On the other hand, you may receive
a very tiny and inexpensive gift, but
its dainty exterior appearance will fas-
climate You to such a degree as to win
your approval Immediately.

TO TEST FLOUR

NOW that the matter Of pure foods
Is being thoroughly exploited there is
not perhaps so much occasion for
testing foodstuffs as formerly to de-
termine their purity" said a rather
fussy housewife. but the truth of the
matter Is have so long accustomed
myself to certain little things in this
respect that I ind 1t difficult to break
from the habit. For instance, I always
test my -four by grasping a handful of
It quickly and squeezing 1t hard for
about minute. If the flour is shaped
to the cavity OF my hand and keeps
that form when l release the hold I
am satisfied that the -four is pure. II,
however, when open my hand the
flour crurnbles and falls into shape
less mass l am equally satisfied that
some adulteration has been used

quite popular. Then the package should
be tagged, and the tag should also
bear the imprint of Yuletide. Little
labels or "stickers" of Santa Claus
heads or holly to fasten down corners
of the paper OF the ribbon are almost
indispensable. Labels of Please do
not open before Christmas" are also
much used and are very attractive II
the gift is to be delivered by messen-
ger spray of holly should not be
missing: it will add so much. II the
gift is to be sent by mail or express
the package should then be neatly
wrapped in heavy paper
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1910-12-03

First of all inclose a dainty little
Christmas card bearing your name
and good wishes. Then wrap the gift
in white tissue paper. OF course If it
is "breakable" it should first be
properly packed and then wrapped in
paper. Ribbon then should be taste
fully tied about the package. and tied
in a dainty bow. There are many

Choosing Bolfdap
Books for Children

Choosing a book for a child as a
Christmas gift or any book for a Ju-
ventle reader is a matter which re-
Quires the most conscientious care.

good or worth or dignity that will have
an effect In molding the child's char
acter.
