This description of a unique Christmas
gift put me in mind of the many things
we might give without the expenditure
of money.
All the loneliness will flee from the life
OF the woman who has nothing to do in
particular if she will give herself for
even a few hours TO the friend who is
crowded 10 the utmost: and know of no
more perfect gift for the woman who has
more time than money at her disposal
Dress a doll for the woman who has a
house full of children.
Decorate the house of some friend
whose time is crowded.
Relieve some mother friend of the care
of little children for just an afternoon,
that she may be able to get downtown
for the many last little things that have
been forgotten.
Give a beautiful bright plant to the in
valid friend and make her prison room
look like a holiday place with bright ber-
rieS and eVergreens.
Go in and make the Christmas pudding
or fruit cake for some hOusekeeper friend
who needs time just now more than any
ether gift under the sun
Help the business friend with some bit
of work, that she may have little longer
holiday at this happy season.
Keep house for the children of some
friend or relative who Graves to get away

country somewhere to see the old folks

AS pretty a little gift as ever re-
ceived is q pansy satin ribbon card a
trihe over two by four inches in size,
Merry Christmas in fancy gilt letters on
one corner, then the pansy in two shades
OF violet satin ribbon, one-inch wide, at
top Of card, using long way of the card.
Ribbon a dark and light shade. To make
pansy cut two inches OF the dark shade
and two inches of the light and one inch
of light shade.
This is for the leaves, which are cut
with two round scallops at each end and
the one-inch piece one end scalloped.
Then two inches OF the light shade not
scalloped for a tiny sachet bag. Sew
the sachet bag just above the Merry

good one:

Because Of the wonderful messages they bring.

Il know just how my friends feel about
me-" remarked a wealthy woman to me
the other day. They had rather have
an eyetooth pulled than select Christ
mas gift for me because they think 1
have everything as one relative put the
matter, and they fear to make me some
gift of slight intrinsic value, believing
that it will seem insignificant to me be-
cause it cost so little.
7 received last year gift from a little
woman who is all alone in the world
she went on, and it appealed to me
more than the most expensive present
that came to me at the Christmas sea-
son. This little friend knew that would
be very much crowded during the last
few days before the holidays getting my
own gifts mailed or expressed. and at
tending to the thousand and one things
the running of a big house entails, so
she gave me herself for two full days.
I have never had so comfortable a
gift before in all my life, for at this
season of the year one cannot buy extra
brains to think of all the things one has
to do. nor a pair of hands that are con-
trOliCd by good hard sense My friend
was all alone and she mad few demands
or her time. She had gotten her own
gifts off early, and so she gave me two
precious days of herself TO attend to
those things which one can never trust
to servants. She helped pack my gifts
and got them off for me. She attended
to decorating the house. and, best of all,
shn stilled the excited voices of the chill
dreu when they put my nerves on ragged
edge with their nover-endng questions
She brought peace and good Will into my
home through her quiet Christmas serv-
ice, and I called her my Christmas
