is made of black china silk with a

In front, one for gloves, one for a

A set OF trunk covers are also an
inexpensive gift. They can be made

Every girl adores the filmy under

so simple to make. One and a quar-

Turn the edges down an inch and

1t for beading. The bottom is shirreG

To make this more elaborate it may

If you can crochet or knit, there
are such variety of articles one can
copy-slippers, hug-me-tights, nit

straps, napkin rings, bean bags, vege-

A unique gift easy to crochet is
basket made of white or colored
cotton in any simple stitch over the
bottom of a bowl or box. When
finished starch thoroughly and let
remain over arti9@a until dry. The
result will be strong basket, cap

appropriate picture a quotation and
the calendar for the month on each
piece, then tie them together with

A cunning carriage strap of en-

attached little celluloid animals, rub
