able to move and young Murphy re-

A clipping case is easily made with
six Manila envelopes. Through the two
bottom corners Of the envelopes holes
must be punched large enough to pass
a ribbon through, which is tied In q

In a little box Of Italian basketry,
bearing a card marked Grandmother
Nine, was a fluffy jabot Of black and
white net, edged with tiny rufles Of
point d'esprit. Two pieces Of chamois
were slipped between covers Of white
linen, embroidered in a tiny wreath
pattern and tied at the top with q bow
Of white ribbon, forming a pretty and
useful eye-glass polisher. At the bot
tom Of the box was a little grey gauEe
fan, upon which Christina had painted
in water colors a border Of Tiolets in
delicate shades.
For His Babykins was one plain
little bonnet Of smoked china silk in
white with two pairs Of ties and
another, more elaborate, was also made
from china silk, embroidered in a
dainty eyelet pattern, but had q lining
Of pale blue. There were several
pairs Of extra bonnet ties, simply hem
stitched across the end, with a row Of
Misunderstanding and tiny French knots
just above the hem. A couple Of white
pique bibs, with scalloped edges en-
broidered in white cotton had a small
initial worked in the center.

counter, Christina confded) we're
sewed together at the bottom and sides
and had a white cotton draw string
with tiny balls to finish the ends Of it.
OF bags there was a bewiIdering var
iety, from a bean bag for Little Sister,
Of tan linen, with a big butterfly out
lined in chain stitch with brown silk,
to an evening bag crocheted with silver
thread and lined with heiotrope silk.
A party bag that appeared to be made
from some rich, unusual material
proved upon inspection to be simply a
striking bit Of cretonne covered with
rose color chiffon that harmonized
with the dominant tone Of the cretonne.
A collar bag Of linen crash was drawn
up with linen cord and had a splash
ing monogram worked In the center.
And for the girl beyond the seas was a
work bag, or more correctly a box,
since its sides were stifened with card
board, which by the loosening Of the
cord that held these sides upright could
be hattened out for mailing.
A safety. pocket made Of tan linen
and attached to a strong betting to be
worn around the waist was intended
for the woman who was planning a
long trip. It had two pockets, ons for
jewelry and money, the other large
enough for letters and papers, which
were securely fastened with patent
buttons.
Nothing could have been prettier
than the bed room slippers Christina
had made from Dresden ribbon, and
from brocaded silk. Onto the soft
soles that may be bought in all sizes
she had wrapped the edge Of wide
Dresden ribbon, for one pair, shirring
It up into place so that a sort Of cuff
Of the ribbon turned down around the
top and finishing it with a big fluffy
rosette Of the ribbon. For a pair Of
soles she had used a handsome piece
Of brOcade silk simply bound at the
edge with ribbon feather stitched on.
Next to the delectable chiffon scarfs
was a Whit Of an evening hood in blue

was just beginning to write, so much
as the box Of note paper that had
been prepared for her. Christina had
cut out from a magazine various little
brownie-lil1e figures, and pasted one on
each sheet Of paper, giving them a
holiday touch by painting their funny
little skirts red and green.
With a fine wire and some small
pearl beads Christina had succeeded
in fashiOning a splendid imitation Of
those exquisite little pearl butterflies
that are so pretty worn with the ma
line neckbow. She had twisted the
wired beads into bow-knot, fastened it
at the center with a bit Of thread,
which was covered by a separate piece
Of wire strung with larger beads that
fsSs fastened about the joining. Dull
black beads, with the chou OF black
maline, formed suitable accessory
for the aunt who was wearing black.
An attractive case for playing cards
had a holly-wreathed card tucked into
it that was inscribed "For Ny Friend,
the Solitaire Fiend." It was made
from a strip Of burlap a little wider
than a deck Of cards, and long enough
to form a pocket at one end, and a
Zap to hold over at the other. 1t was
lined with soft grey chamois and the
edges bound with uphoIsterer's gimp in
silver. Patent buttons in each corner
Of the flap fastened It neatly.
A neektle holder and pin cushion al
in one had been cleverly constructed
from an embroidery hoop. The hoor
was first wound tightly with ribbor
A fat pincushion Of silk to match, til
shape Of a half circle, was fitted into
the upper half Of the hoop. Rosettes
Of the ribbon finished it, at each side
and a long loop Of ribbon, with ends IN
der the rosettes, was attached so that
it might be hung from dresser or gas
jet.
It was a thoughtful selection Of de-
lightful gifts, none Of them expensive
but not one Of them that would not
carry with it. like a fragrance, Chris
tina's afecdonate regard, and evidence
Of her taste and ingenuity.
