A cheeseeIoth Christmas.

A very clever young woman whose
finances were suddenly reduced to the
lowest terms tells me how she
planned a "Cheesecloth" Christmas for
many of her friends. She made
busters for housekeepers. prettily
feather stitching them with different
colored silks and wash cottons. By
stitching several thicknesses together
she made serviceable and sanitary
dish cloths. Then there were useful
covers for trunk trays (she first took
the precaution to get the sizes). Pads
for dresser and chiffonier drawers she
made with one layer of cotton be-
tween delicately scented with violet
sachet powder. For the new babies
she did the most fascinating cover
lets, lining them with lambs wool.
tufting them with pink and blue
worsted and buttonho1ing around the
edges. For a bride going to house
keeping in a modest little home she
procured the measurements of the
basement windows and built curtains
of cream cheese cloth with a deep
hem at the bottom. Cheesecloth
laundry bags lined with a colored
cambria are acceptable, also bags for
string. Taking 1t as a whole she says
success. 1 am glad to tell about 1t
while there is yet time for others to
go "and, do likewise Cheesecloth
makes excellent curtains for serv-
ants rooms and as protectors for party
gowns on the back of closet walls
where the dainty frocks are hung.
