WANTED TO FINISH THE JOB
Pride In Hls Work, Not Tender Heart,
Was What Induced the Chauffeur
to Return.

They were going along the public
highway at leisurely rate OF forty
miles per hour, when n decrepit hen
and rooster started to do the chicken
special-cross the road.
The front and hind wheels on the
right side struck the poor, old. stiff-
jointed rooster amidships. and with
one squawk he succumbed.
Immediately the man at the steering
wheel started to slow down and to
look about for place to turn.
His solcitous wife turned to her
seatmate and said:
Isn't that just like his tender heart?
He won't be satisfied unless he goes
back and settles for that rooster. He
Just can't bear to feel he has injured
anyone or anything"
Then louder to her husband. she
said George, remember that APP
pointment We haven't any time to
go back for anything"
CHANGING at the clock near his feet
and at the speedometer near by, he
nighed and said:
You're right. Jennie; but Just
know II had turned back I could
have killed that old hen Just as easy
as | did the rooster. Judge.

A band of soft messaline ribbons In
light blue. extends about the cap with
n small fiat rosette at each side. This
is made by gathering n quarter OF
yard of ribbon along one edge. A lit
tie bunch OF pink rosebuds is perched
under the rosette, just where the ruff
fie joins the crown. 1t requires one
and half yards Of ribbon for this lit
tie cap, such as may be bought for
fifteen or twenty cents yard. Three
quarters OF yard of plating is lit

of pink moss roses and leaves Is

When Christmas gifts bear with
them kindly thoughts or careful work
on the part OF their donor and recog-
milton of good taste in those to whom
them are given, the recipients are
sure to be pleased And, whether the
purse be fat or lean, good manage
ment and cleverness make 1t possible
to embody these ideas In all gifts.
Those which are the handiwork OF the
giver are whose which make the
strongest appeal to our hearts and
bring home the sweet, gracious spirit
of Christmas.
What taxes US most each year Is
the matter OF deciding on what to
give. After this has been settled upon
and our list made out, the rest Is easy
and the work pleasure. There are
innumerable pretty things for women
and girls. All OF them love articles
made to decorate their homes, and
those made for their personal adorn-
ment; so the choice Is not SO hard. II
does require some thing to find out
gifts for men. But We won't. go far
wrong IL we stick to things which add
to their comfort. And they like. too.
those things which add to the attrac.
tiveness OF their rooms.
About the prettiest and easiest gift
to make is the bewitching breakfast
cap. Everybody, that Is anybody, has
little frivolous and dainty car for
delight to the eye and anybody may
own one. Some people call them
boudoir caps and, furthermore, there
are caps made OF nicer materials
which are worn In the evening and
are called opera caps. They are al
simply made It isn't bad idea tc
decide on q gift OF this kind and make
them up for all ones girl or women
friends. Each one may have some
little individual touch to make It diff
ferent from the others. By planning
to make several caps at one sitting
there is q saving in material ant
time.
These caps are very inexpensive
They are made Of plain or dotted net
allover lace, thin silk, null, batlste
embroidery and chiffon and edged
with narrow plaitings Of net or lace
A square OF the fabric used makes thu
crown, that is n piece OF goods II
inches wide and of the same length
is all that is required for the crown
The corners are trimmed away max
ing the pieces somewhat circular.
narrow binding is sewed about thu
edge of this piece and an elastic corr
run in. 1t is long enough to reacl
about the head with little stretch
ing. A single or q double fall o
plated net or lace is sewed about tn
edge, one row being slightly wide
than the others and falling a hal
inch below It, A single ruffle is oftel
edged with narrow ribbon.
The cap shown in Fig. has
crown OF sheer eyelet embroidery wit
n double ruffle falling abort the face
