INEXPENSIVE CHRISTMAS GIFTS
- BY

die with narrow ribbon and finish
with pretty bow.
The girl away at college would sure
which she can hang inside her closet
door. The shoe bag should be half
the length of the door with compart-
ments for shoes, slippers and rubbers
| and long compartment on one side
| for an umbrella, and on the other for
books not in use. The materials used
should be heavy denim with the com
| partments bound in tape.
| A pleasing notion would be to make
any articles for the girls away at col
lege in their college colors. A piece
of gay colored cretonne bound all
around with a pretty braid would also
be acceptable as trunk cover.
Dear to every girls heart are pretty
| dress accessories. The new Robes
pierre collars with jabots of frilly lace
certainly will be welcome addition to
your friends wardrobes. The collar
are usually made Of black satin with
the ruffies of. lace about two inches
wide.
Chic boudoir caps are made of cir
cles of shadow lace 18 inches wide
with soft ruff1es of narrow lace around
the crown. The ruff1es should be made
in the back wider than in the front
to give the effect of Dutch bonnet
The cap is decorated with little pink
rosebuds and band of pink ribbon.
Exquisite La France roses are made
out of folded satin ribbon in three-inch
lengths Turn the ends back at the cor
ners to form the petals. Group the
petals together and join to wire
stem which has been twisted with mar
row green satin.
A natural looking bunch Of violets
is formed of tiny bows of twisted vio-
let ribbon tied with green silk wire.
Hat pins, collar pins and buckles
, are wonderfully effective when COW
| cred with ribbon roses made Of mar
row folded ribbon grouped closely to-
| gether. If you prefer you can use
satin cherries made of tiny circles of
satin filled with cotton, with petals
of green ribbon.
The girl who dances will find much
pleasure in receiving pretty pair Of
beaded satin slipper bows to match
her party slippers.
For the traveller small cretonne
| pillow with pockets on ono side for
magazines and newspapers would be
convenience.
A set of envelopes of white linen to
hold the necessary articles, would al
so be a useful gift. If you have time
you could buttonhole the flap in seal
lops One envelope for handkerchiefs,
one for the night dress, one lined in
rubber for the toilet articles, and one
large one for the extra waist. The
pieces you have left of the linen you
can utilize for napkin rings, scalloped
and finished with monogram, or for
boudoir lamp shades, which are much
admired when inserted with medal
| ions of fine lace.
For the invalid thoughtful little
gift would be cover for the drinking
glass A glass circle the size of the
top of the ordinary glass is required;
crochet cover over the glass in a
simple stitch in two colors of mercer
lied cotton. In the center sew cro-
cheted ring for handle.
| A tray with a narrow wooden bor-
der and brass handles could have a
pretty piece of embroidered linen una
| der the glass.

your future Christmas re-
kSSxN membrance would be COM
4 pleted in ample time, and I'M
der NO circumstances would the next
Christmas season find you in rush
and hustle, planning and finishing be-
lated Christmas gifts. What an idle
dream that was. for here it is Christ
mas time approaching again. and you
are racking your brain and attempting
to decide what to give at the eleventh
hour, In a great hurry and turmoil.
Isn't it 80?
What not to give, would be more
appropriate phrase. For in the selec-
ton of your gifts some regard has
to be given to the adaptability and the
utility Of the present. A wise idea is
to spend more time than money in
thinking what would be suitable and
practicable for each individual. Your
gift would be all the more appreciated
If it expresses something of yourself
and shows that your own personal
thoughts have been bestowed upon
selection of the tokens.
The real essence of the Christmas
spirit ig not expenditure. How easy
1t Is to purchase gorgeous gifts if one
has a well filled purse! But If the re-
cipient can buy the same article with
little effort, the gift idea will not be
remembered for very long. Let your
gifts be expressions Of love and
thoughtfuluess The thought and time
you pat In gifts Of your own handi-
work will mean much more than If
you simply give something for the
sake of giving.
The cost of homemade gifts is gen.
orally small. A multitude Of gifts can
be contrived of materials you have at
hand, and of odd pieces of linen, rib
bons and silk. Clever fingers can
fashion charming novelties. Gladness
is the keynote Of the Yuletide season.
Go at your tasks in a cheerful, blith-
some manner, and you will find your
work one of joy. The following sug
gestions may provide you with numer-
GUS ideas for attractive gifts, which
may be made inexpensively.
With little effort dainty sachets to

made at very small cost. Make six
sachets in pastel shades of satin rib
bon about two inches square. Fill
with soft cotton busted with some
fragrant sachet powder. Place the
sachets one on top of the ather and
tie with narrow gauze ribboG. Gilt
safety pins are attached to each
sachet so the bags can be pinned on
the different frocks.
One distinct novelty is a colonial
pin cushion. For this unique cushion
you will have TO purchase a glass can
dlestick in a simple design. Cover
one side of a four-inch square of card
board with some pretty silk which
harmonizes with the color scheme of
your friends bedrooms. Form
mound-like cushion of cotton on the
other side and cover with the silk
The cushion is fastened to the candle
stick by fine wires or thread. Around
the edge OF the cushion sew a beaded
fringe about three inches long.
Another pin cushion has for the
foundation a four-inch wire tea strain
er. The back is fitted with disk of
cotton covered in cretonne. The wire
part is lined with lowered cretonne
and flied with cotton. Wind the han

would certainly make fireproof roof

Native square stone is used to very
