"A Lesson In Givin1
By CLARISSA MAcKIE

OF course the people Of Smithville
had heard of the celebrated cowboy
preacher" so called because of his re-
generation from one Of the widest des-
peradoes of the west to become mis-
siOnary among the cattlemen Of the
great plains The name Of the Rev.
Jackson Kidder often appeared in
the missionary monthly to which every
body In Smithville subscribed. and
there had been much discussion con.
corning the success that had followed
his simple. unaffected appeals to the
souls Of the men he sought to save.
The Ladies' Missionary society had
taken undoubted pleasure in packing
barrel to send to the newly ordained
minister when the missionary monthly
dutifully announced that interesting
event.
Mrs. Deacon Baxter generously con-
tributed her son Willie's Christmas
munier and his i've bladed knife. and
the packing Of the barrel In Mrs. Bax-
ter's kitchen was accompanied by the
subdued roars Of little Willie. who

about it-that cowboy preacher can

to buy what he wants"
The barrel went on its way. and In
due time there came back letter
from Jackson Kidder effusively thank

HOME MADE BUTTONS
soME LITTLE TIPS THAT WILL BE
FOUND HELPFUL.
Tho Story Of the Button Has No End
When tho Quick Eye Can Grasp
the Little Touches on the
ExpensIve Gown.

This season IL surely button sea-
son, and II you care not to give your
order for molds to be covered, you
can make your own quite easily.
Do not make the mistake Of cutting
the circular piece to cover the wooden
form too large. This makes need
less bulk on the under side of the
button and prevent fat, well-ad-
justed mold In trimming.
Cut the pieces from a pasteboard
pattern all at one snip Of the scissors
Then begin with wooden form. After
gathering the circular piece, slip 1t
over the button, draw up the thread
and sew across with few stitches. II
possible, attach Immediately to the
dress with the same thread.
Satin buttons, velvet, linen, Lace
over silk and embroidered buttons are
easily fashioned.
Have you priced hand-embroidered
buttons? Well. sit right down, sister,
and make your own. After covering
with silk, take coarse silk and cross
In either two or three diagonals. Knot
1t the center, and then from this point
weave over and under the radiating
lines until spider-web effect is OBJ
tanned. The stitch is quite like that
which we used in our renaissance lace
work years ago.
Gold and colored net over silk gives
very good imitation of embroidery.
Lace with flower pattern can be ap.
piled with the blossom in the center
of the button. A touch of colored
thread over white applique lace adds
wonderfully.
Cretonne-covered buttons are good;
irish lace roses sewed on linen-cover-
ed buttons can be easily made. In
deed, the story of the button has no
end when a quick eye can grasp the
little touches that are apparent on ex-
pensiye gowns. and the clever hand
can apply the hints in ones own sew

Favored ToothpIcks.

To make favored toothpicks take
one box Of toothpicks and place in q
stEainer or anything that is perforated
with holes and put toothpicks in; then
take oil of cinnamon or oil Of lemon
or any oil flavor that has pleasant
taste and put into a vessel large
enough to put strainer with toothpicks
and cover all with towel or cloth and
the fumes Of the oil will penetrate
the toothpicks and you have some
thing nice and sweet. Try same and
see how nice they are in the mouth.
