For the Baby.

A pretty and useful gift for the baby
is crocheted cover for the nursing bot

The glass surface Of the bottle Is very
apt to slip away from an infant that
is too young to hold the bottle in place.

Purchase several pieces OF orris root

them together on narrow wash ribbon

bone or ivory rings and rattles usually
sold for that purpose.

Making the New Skirts Smart.

So much responsibility is laid on foot
Wear in this season Of radical skirt styles
that one reasonably expects it to fall
short occasionally.
So far as Mr.. Manufacturer is con-
cerned, footwear is up to the mark in
every little detail of fit, fabric, and fin
tsh. But there are so many little things
to be guarded against-littIe defects that
take on mOnstrous proportions beneath
the merciless span Of smart skirts.
Rundown heels show up pitilessly and
the absence Of-on tiny button can't pass
unnoticed. while frayed and dusty laces
are horribly conspicuous. OF these de-
fects the greatest is rundown heels-so
much of foot comfort and gracefulness
of Carriage-health itself - depends on
proper foot support. And when one
thinks of the small cost OF having heels
Strengthened. worn-off edges and side
stepped counters are hardly excusable.

to cheer their lonely hearts, just because
there was no one she felt she could

Wouldn't it be a beautiful thing IT,

HERALD SHOPPER
BUYSFOR HUNDREDS
Country Women Grateful for
Assistance Rendered.

The Washington Herald's offer to shOT
for women who are not so situated thai
they can personally attend to it ends
to-day for the reason that there would
not now be time to buy for them and
have all the gifts and provisions they
wanted shipped TO them in time for their
holiday preparations.
Judging from the number Of shopping
lists received it would seem that the
above statement is superfiuous. for the
invitation was pretty generally accepted
by women in outlying towns, and many
others at a greater distance.
There are so many mothers who live
at a little distance from a large city
who have such home cares that they
cannot get away at any season for a
shopping expedition. because they can
not leave little children alone.
These are the women who have felt
more deeply grateful than any others
for The Washington Herald's assistance,
and who promptly sent their lists and
money orders when the offer to place
an experienced shopper at their disposal
was first made.
Every list sent was given prompt and
personal attention and the orders were
shipped with all speed possible.
There has been no complaint of any
delay in receiving them, and in every
instance a grateful, happy letter has
come in acknowledgment of The Wash
ingtOn HeraIds generous service.
Many thanks are extended to the Wash
ington shops for their cooperation in
getting orders shipped promptly, and TO
the many thoughtful readers who vOlun-
teered assistance with the hundreds of
lists received.
Many of these offers were graz fully
accepted by The Washington Herald
shopper.
1t all seemed just like playing Santa
Claus to hundreds of dear children whose
mothers could not get into the city to
play Kris Kringle for them, and it gave
everybody connected with the undertake
ing so much happiness that the stupen-
dous amount Of work attendant upon il
was quite forgotten in comparison.

To Transfer.

Here are suggestions for transferring
the pattern before you to any material
before working.
Perhaps the easiest way is the win
dow-pane" method. This is successful
when the material is thin, like linen,
batistle, &c. Pin the sheet Of paper and
the material together and hold them up
against the glass of a window. With
a sharp pencil draw on the material the
design. which can be easily seen through
the goods. If one-half of the design only
be given. unpin the paper and turn the
other side to the fabric. The strong light
behind will make it plain.
If you have carbon paper, you should
place the sheet between your fabric and
the newspaper. This latter is on top.
With a sharp pencil go over the outline
of the design. The impression will be left
in fine lines and will last until worked.
This method Is successful on heavy ma
terial.
The last way is also easy. On wax
paper or ordinary tissue paper trace the
pattern before you. When the design Is
completed, turn over the paper and out
line the pattern with a heavy lead pen
Gil Then place the design down on the
fabric and redraw the outline, pressing
hard with the pencil. The pattern win
DO transferred without difficulty.
Surely the way Is easy.

NEWS NOTES OF
WASHINGTON SHOPS

In spite Of many new popular materials,
the gowns Of soft satin and Of crepe
meteor still hold their own for elegance
and beauty.
A fashionable new scarf is shown in
satin material trimmed with three rows
of marabou set close together in the
border.
Many wedding tOilettes will display
mingling of soft satin velvet brocade and
plain velvet, together with lovely laces
and filmy chifrons.
A frock is hardly considered finished
without a cluster Of artificial flowers at
the waist or the shoulder to catch up
fiounce on the skirt.
Most of the fur coats this season are
fashioned with straight. graceful lines
and rounded at the front. Some are
sIashed at the side-not for beauty, but 10

sleeves are generally long and close Mt

A Pretty Jabot.

Six yards of silk soutache braid, of
any preferred shade, makes a most at
tractive little Jabots, at cost Of 12h
cents.
Divide the braid into five equal lengths,
and arrange for braiding, having the first
strand one inch longer than the second,
the second an inch longer than the third.
the third an inch longer than the fourth,
and the fourth an inch longer than the
fifth, which difference will, OF course,
be reversed at the other end.
Now braid in an old-fashioned five
plait," beginning one-fourth yard from
the shortest end, and ending in the same
manner at other end. Fasten ends of
braid securely with needle and silk
thread, leaving the entire braid perfect
~ fiat.
Then roll end OF each strand in ball
size Of very small marble. and catch with
needle and silk thread. The varying
length Of strands gives the desired irreg-
ularity to the finished ends. This jabot
sells for rs cents in the shops.
