CHRISTMAS GIFTS FOR ALL.


 At the old homestead everybody was busy getting ready to fill the home tree, make up a few dainty packages for absent friends, and help a little on the church tree.
 First came Baby Bertie. Rachie who had grown too big for d sled, donated her pretty red one to him. and a box just the right size was fast ened on securely after the front had been removed. This was painted red. A piece of old quilt covered with pret- ty red cretonne was fastened firmly to the inside of the back and sides with brass headed tacks. A little cushion covered with the cretonne made the seat. A little robe was made from an old fur cape lined with piece of an old bright-colored shawl A strong leather strap from. an old harness to draw the team by and a pair of reans knitted of red twiHe and finished with four tiny gilt bellE completed g pres

The design shown in Fig. 1 is known as the Lazy Daisy" It has center of French knots. To make buttons of this design. find the center of your button and work put from it by mak- ing a kind of chain, The point of each loop is held in place by small stitch.
 One of the simplest and most effec- tive designs is shown fin Fig. 2. From the center of the button stitch lines of different lengths, so arranged as to make symmetrical pattern.
 Fig. 8 shows a design that can be worked either with floss or with braid.
 A flower petal design, particularly attractive, is shown In Fig. 4. For the outline of the petals use coronation braid; for the stamens, few stitches of floss In the center.
 The design shown in Fig. is es- pecially pretty when worked in sou tache on fine soft linen pr silk. You can make it either with/ one row of fine braid or with two. If there are two rows. you can use stitches be- tween them to hold the braided de- sign together, or you can work uncut eyelets. To do this, mark the design on the button, buttonholes it, and leave the eyelet uncut.
 Fig. has a. buttonholed edge, and a center filled with small circles work ed in French knots.
 By using the same designs you can make very pretty hatpins. Select one of the wooden button moulds that have a hole in the center and through the hole run an old hatpin. Fill ir the open space with glue, sealing wax or, better still, some of the prepared cements used for mending glass. Wher that is dry you will find the pin firmly set. Cover the mould with silk, sat. in, or any other material desired as you did in making the buttons, ant decorate 1t with mercerized floss ol braid in the same manner. A set of buttons or couple of hat pins would make; I am sure, a very acceptable and pretty birthday ol l Christmas gift.

CHRISTMAS THOUGHT AND Ac.
 TON.

Dear Social Corner Friends: A lit tie girl once said: Christmas is Just sunshine coming out of our hearts," This surely is a beautiful thought.
 May we scatter sunshine by ema- hating the true Christmas spirit. Not giving simply because we feel that we must, or because we expect gifts in return, but give because we love to, with a joy fnexpressible, and what ever we give. be it much or little, may it say to the recipients Merry Christmas!" sincerely, because it can truly make their Christmas merry with kind thoughts and loving mem ories. And may we not only remern- Der those who are accustomed to re- member us, but also those from whom we expect no return.
 Don't forget to send word of cheer to the old folks about you, es- pecialiy to those in your old home town. It will brighten their Christmas wonderfully to be remembered by you and fill your own heart with the Peace on earth-good will toward men,"
 As l write, have in mind a man of eighty-seven, one of our neighbors, when l was a little girl, to whom I send speeding over many miles of railroad each Christmas a card bear ing bit of Christmas sentiment and few penned lines of greeting. In fancy l can see the smile that ilum- ines his face and hear him proudly say to his friends: Now, just see what M has sent me.
 One dear old lady to whom I sent Christmas cheer last year has since passed over to the other side" and am so glad I gave her the little surprise"
 Dear sisters. I truly get more Joy in sending remenbrances to those whom know can make no return, and certainly spend as much thought and time in selection and making.
 May we all remember the dear old story of Bethlehem, which comes to us again in the merry Christmas time, Again the angels sing to us and again, prince and pauper. sage and shepherd, stranger and kinsman, unite in keep- ing the worlds greatest birthday. In the words of little Tim, God bless us every one"
 A dainty case for holding common pins may be made thus: Three-quar- ter yard of three or four inch ribbon (holy leaf and berries design is very pretty and appropriate for a Christ mas glft), 1 1-2 yards half inch rib bon to match. Make a case of the wide ribbon the length and width of a paper of pins by sewing up each end, and through center if ribbon is too wide leaving selvage side open. Finish ends with nine or ten inch lengths of the wide ribbon, doubled so as to make two ribbon ends at each end of case one end notched. the | other pointed, one end being a trifle | longer than the other. Use the mar row ribbon for loop to hang up by and bows to conceal where ends join case.
 Fold a paper of pins so that heads will be at one side, slip into case and very dainty and useful gift is the | result. Ribbon Bas-Fancy ribbon 1-2 yard
 wide, 1-2 yard Val lace 3-4 inch wide, sew to one edge of ribbon. Stitch be- low lace on edge of ribbon, two nine inch pieces of -1-2 inch ribbon hem
 med at both ends to run draw strings
 through. Now sew up. the ends and
 gather the lower edge with a stout
 thread, draw up, leaving d small hole. Finish tor by drawing thrnugb st each

side narrow ribbon draw strings. On three medium sized spools wind sew eral yards each of white. pink and blue ribbon CnarTOw wash rfbbon), clip into bag ends even, pull through the hole at bottom @ dozen inches, thread through a ribbon leader, tie with loop and end draw up strings at top, and bag is complete.
 Hairpin Holder-For this use pretty Germantown. Crochet & chain twelve or fifteen yards long, make into loops six or eight inches long. Finish top with baby ribbon loops three inches long, making one loop twelve inches long to hang up by. Hang hairpins on to the loops.
 A Pretty Sachet fig made of pink or blue silk twenty two inches long and ten inches wide. Sew ends together, gather one edge, draw up and fasten to a circle of cardboard covered with silk, two inches in diameter. Make a bonnet of lace, rosettes or ribbon at sides and fasten to a medium sized doll head. Fill bag loosely with cot ton and sachet powder. Gather top around dolly's neck; tie with ribbon. A Little Shaker-Purchase a 1oc soap shaker, put in it piece of soap. Hem one-half yard of linen or cotton I'craSh, fold cornerwise and fasten to handle close to shaker top. Hem yard
 length of cheescloth one-half yard
 wide; double. making & square, put over shaker and tie to form a head 1 letting the rest fall over shoulders in such way as to make long point
 in back, short one in front and one
 at each side. Mark with pencil eyes

 printed in ink these lines:

NAMES CORN SALAD,

Dear Editor and Sisters of the So- cial Corner. How are you all? It hss been a long time since l have writ tn ro the Corner. but ] have enjoyed reading the letters during this time.
 ! have just finished canning my ouiuces and now if l had any ripe pears I shO1'd can them, adding to them what Q1inces l had left. This takes away that flat taste and gives them a lovely flavor.
 will tell -ou how to make a handy as well as pretty Thimble Case. Cut three pieces Of pasteboard the shape Of a quarter of an orange peel Cover these, and line with silk or velvet, then blind stitch them together, leav- ing one edge open Now fasten some ribbon al each end to hang up by and your thimble case is complete. Pinch the ends and it win open. This makes q very acceptable Christmas gift
 Another pretty gift is made by tying two Christmss postal cards together with several thicknesses of plotting paper between
 Co., Solid. Received your postal Tharzs for same.
 Can some of the sisters tell me how 10 make a steamed pudding out of ELzlc. Iney are very nlce IT one knows how 70 make them
 Aunt Serena: I tried your recipe for Sugar Ginger Snaps. They will certainly snap. but they are so hard ! cannot eat them nor soak them up, even i1 hot tea--they remain as hard as ever
 When cooking beefsteak which you are afraid Is rather tough, dip in a solution of vinegar and water. This will not hurt the taste and will make it much more tender.
 l. send my recipe for Corn Salad. This is e nice pickle which will keep all winter. Ten ears of corn, one head of cabbage, four green peppers chopped fine run them through the food chopper. 1. quart vinegar, 2 tablespoons salt. one tablespoon mus tard. I cup sugar Boil twenty min Btes and can hot This Is fine.

COVERED BUTTONS FOR CHRIST
 MAS GIFTS.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: What could be more acceptable for Christmas gift to a friend than a set of washable buttons made on bone moulds? For gowns, button about the size of half-penny is generally the most useful. Cover it with cir cular piece of material to match your dress, and ornament 1t with one of the stitches shown, or braid the design with soutache or coronation braid. One skein of mercerized floss will serve to make at least dozen but tons.
 I present herewith half dozen cas- fly made and pretty patterns.
