crash, or any similar material, cut like
a great envelope which should be
large enough to contain four to six
shirts as they are folded The flap of
the bag may be cut to point or have
rounded corners and should button
over. The bag may be bound with
braid or worked with a buttonhole
stitch about the edge, and have mon
ogram in the corner.
The woman who likes to knit will
enjoy making knitted reins for some
child. These are made so as to slip
over the neck Of the child like a har-
ness and if trimmed with numerous
little bells will be great delight.
They may also be made from ribbon.
The ribbon hoops for the baby, also
with their tiny tinkling bells, may,
quite as well, be covered with bright
knitted yarn. Another gift for the
baby is chamois bali. This is made
from pieces of chamois cut about the
size and shape Of the sections Of an
orange and crocheted together after
the edges have been buttonholed.
When this is stuffed with cotton it
makes soft, pretty ball.
Another gift for his small highness
which his mother will also appreciate
and his father will borrow when he
has the toothache, is the tiny hot
water bag which has been covered
with a crocheted bag or one made of
soft flannel.
A thoughtful little gift for the work
bag Is the scissors protector Cover
cork with crochet of colored silk and
crochet chain by which it may be
attached to the work bag. Then when
the scissors are not in use the point
may be stuck into the cork, instead of
boring holes in the contents of the
bag as they have way Of doing.
If one is anything of an artist,
Christmas shopping is robbed Of its
terrors, for the things that may be
made from hand-tinted silks or hand
decorated paper are legion. There are
the delightful Empire shades for the
bedroom lamp, and the smaller shades
for the candle or electric drop-light.
For the lamp shade one can get the
wire frame very cheaply. It's best to

fit pattern to it carefully before cut
ting into the water-color paper which
is to be used for the shade. The
shade itself can then be cut all in one
piece. The edges may be finished
with passepartout tape and the decora-
lions should consist of medaliions OK
paper in two contrasting shades, one
above the other, with silhouette, If
possible, in the center, or group of
small figures cut from some old print.
About the medallions should b e
painted delicate sprays of leaves, or if
one is not able to paint, wreaths may
be cut from wall papers of appropriate
design.
More expensive and elaborate shades
have thin silk shirred over the frames
with finish at the top and bottom of
tiny roses made from ribbon. Another
idea for the bedroom gift is the coloni-
al pincushion. Buy one OF the inex-
pensive glass candlesticks in colonial
design Cut small square of card
board, perhaps about four inches
square, and cover one side neatly with
cretonne Form a mound-like cushion
of cotton on the other side and cover
with the cretonne. Then fasten the
cushion on top Of the candlestick by
fine wires or thread and sew around
the edges of the cushion about two
inch fringe of white beads. You will
have most quaint, unique cushion.
Sets of heavy white envelopes in the
corner of which have been painted
sprays or wreaths of blossoms may
contain all sorts Of "helps around the
house" such as rubber bands, labels
for fruit jars or medicines, choice
recipes, and also sachet powders, and
a dozen or so dinner cards all deco
rated for use. For the school girl an
envelope bearing the words Sweet
Sixteen" could contain sixteen tested
recipes for candy.
Attractive buckles may be made
from padded ovals or circles of card
board covered with velvet or silk and
having a simple design worked out in
jet beads, or tiny jewels. A silk cord
may be fastened through the center of
the buckle and the buckle then
threaded onto a soft ribbon or sash.

W stitched pocket-handzerchief

Who has not felt a teary sort Of
warmth about the cookies of ones
heart when the removal Of dainty
wrappings discloses little gift, no
matter how simple, that has been
fashioned by the loving fingers OF a
friend? One pictures her sitting in
the glow of the lamplight, perhaps,
embroidering kindly thoughts into the
BIT of work she holds in her hands.
One knows she has given many min
utes of her busy life, which is like a
gift of gold in these days of stress
and hurry.
The wise woman viii have turned to
account the summer afternoons on the
piazza and the results of her pickup"
work viii provide many simple little
gifts. The woman whose pocketbook
will not meet the demands Of her gen.
crosby should be able to contrive
many charming membranes If she
is willing to give little time and util-
ize materials she may have at hand.
If one embroiders well there is no
end to the useful gifts that may be
made from a yard or so OF linen.
There are the linen napkin rings,
which may be made for each member
of the family IL one wishes. These
are made of fine linen which should
be folded double in band about three
inches wide, and long enough to en-
circle the napkin. On one end is the
button and on the other, which is cut
in a point, is the buttonhole. When
these are embroidered with a mono
gram or a spray Of flowers, staTched
stiff and buttoned over a dainty card
they make a most acceptable gift.
