Unique Ways to Give Gifts.

In family where there were nc
children and none to be borrowed
from near relatives they devised this
method OF distributing the gifts: The
day before Christmas a barrel cover
ed with crepe paper was placed in the
reception hall. 1t was tied around with
red ribbons and greens, and; each
member Of the family placed parcels
within. At breakfast it was rolled
into the diningroom and the contents
disclosed by the one whose lot 1t was
TO perform tho pleasant task. This
honor was determined by two candy
canes, one long, one short; the man
who drew the long one officiated as
Santa Claus. This is not much trou-
BILE. and infinitely better than just the
ordinary giving things.
Another novel way OF distributing
presents is to make huge stocking OF
turkey-red cotton or white drilling
run wire In the hem around the tor
to keep il open, and suspend from d
hook in the ceiling by wide red rib
bon.
Decorate light stepIadder with
ribbons and holly or Christmas greens
and stand By the stocking. Hang II
up few days before Christmas and
have all parcels dropped into 1t. Light
packages and letters may be pinned
on the outside. At breakfast table on
Christmas morning draw lots for the
honor Of unloading the stocking.

The tucks are hand run after the edge
has been worked. The dots are worked
in satin stitch. To make either of these
collars it must be borne i'm mind that
only the datntiest work is admissible
Ihe edge must be firm, but very mar
row.
For the automobile maid the dainty
chiffon bonnet will be a delightful gift
The chiffon is used double and will re-
quire about four yards The little hon
net frame should be bought and COW
cred with soft silk. The chiffon is
then laid about 1T in folds kept i'm place
with hidden stitches. The roses which
ornament the sides are of satin ribbon
and will take yard of 3-inch ribbon
doubled, for each rose. The leaves are
also of satin and are on sale at the
milliners. Make the bonnet large
enough to go we'll over the couture and
down at the sides so that the hair NAV
be protected. The same little bonnet
IL pretty for theatre wear.
For the girl who is devoted TO wells

veilings shown in solid colors might
have soft edge of satin ribbon in
contrasting or deeper shade sewed
about the edge. The ribbon should be
the softest variety and rather thin as

scarf reversible.
The use of marabout in manufacture
ing scarfs at home is growing in favor.
The foundation is usually of chiffon.
either pleated, tucked across wash
board fashion or puffed in soft frills
between the lengths of marabout after
which the scarf is lined with thin. soft
silk or satin. These could be readily
made at home and would furnish the
maker of gifts with a delightful mate
rial with which to work Little opera.
hoods and puffs to match the scarf
are also worn.
The dainty woman will appreciate
the crocheted cover for the baby's
nursing bottle. 1t should be finished
with wash ribbon or with a cord and
tassel 1t serves to make the bottle
less conspicuous when in the cab with
the baby and keeps the food warm
longer. OF course the cover should be
entirely removed when the baby is
using the bottle or 1t will be anything
but dainty.

Christmas FroIics.

After dinner, when the extreme nov

an hour yet before the youngsters go
to bed, and for this very time aptly
called the wild cat" hour BY young

these ideas to be worked out with the
help Of the elder members Of the fam

woman may make that a few sugges-
tions will open the door to her ingenu-
ity There is a tendency towards
original designs. In the collar shown
the foundation is filet net of black.
This Is stretched firmly over builders,
or draftman's linen, and basted
closely. The braid is then sewed on by
hand as the fancy of the braider die
tates. The upper edge is outlined with
the braid before the work Is begun. To
finish the net is cut rather closely
about the edge of the braid and turned
in and whipped down on the under
side. The collar should have the four
braces of black. silk-covered feather
sewed in or the gift is incom-
plete. Remember that no one likes a
gift that they must finish themselves.

Amusing Way to Choose Partners.

A clever way TO as the men to select
partners is to ask each girl to bring
the earliest picture of herself obtain
able. The pictures are numbered, the
hostess having list of each name OPP
posite the number, so when the time
comes for making revelations she can
do II quickly and with certainty. Just
before time ior the game or refresh
ments for which partners are neces-
sary pass basket or tray with the
pictures turned face down: ask each
man to draw one and find the original.
Just imagine the fun this makes. One
man actually asked five women as
this your before he found the original
in his wife.

manner all participated in the Vir-
ginia reel danced to a good lively tune
A postcard search was devised by the
grandmother of the house as an end
ing to q long, happy day. She hid
cards in every conceivable place with
in reach Of the children. AS they
were all ardent collectors and the spoils
were to be individual property, there
was no time lost in getting the pretty
cards from their hiding places. The
one who found the least was consoled
by a red apple candy box filled with
peppermint Iozenges.

cheer,
For Christmas comes but once a year.
Serenely full, the epicure will say,

May every Christmas grace shine as

May the spirit of Christmas last Gil
through the year.
In lowly hut or castle hall
May each soul keep festival
At Christmas time.

Health and wealth for all tho year
All joys and jollity wait on thy holi-
day.
May this be your best Christmas, with
a better one to come.

FRENCH FISH STORY.
Three Days Carnival of Marpignon's
Intrepid Anelers

Though their lakes ana ponds are
few and their rivers comparatively
destitute of fish, the French people ;re
extremely fond of angling. Indeed.
nervous and cxcitable as the average
Frenchman may be. he is content to
sit by stream with n pole and wait
all day for Il bite
In certain country town not far
from Paris there existed fishing cluh
named the Intrepid Fishers of Marpi
gnon. A pretty stream goes through
Marpignon. but for many years no,
one fish had been seen in this stream
from which circumstance, it followed
the Intrepid Fishers had little to do.
says Harper's Weekly.
The excitement may be imagined
therefore. when the word ran through
Marpignon that large barhcl-a
tough and gamy fish-had been seen
In the stream. The Intrepid Fishers
turned out and, having asncrtamed
that there was indeed barbel in the
stream. Immediately stopped the wa
ter some litae distance above and be
low him with gratings so that he
/ could not get away.
Then they ranged themselves joy
fully along the stream with hook and
line. and all went to fishing for tho
one fish.
BY and by one Intrepid Fisher
caught him ana Immediately threw
him back into the water In the
course of time another caught him and
did the same.
For three days one veracious ac-
count has ii the Intrepid Fishers kept
at work catching this one barbel. and
at the end of that time the fish died
of exhaustion and loss OF blood. Then
the Intrepid Fishers counted up the
notches that they had made on their
fish poles. and the man who had
caught the barbel the most times was
declared the champion fisherman of
Marpignon and received great honors.
