There are always last-minute
gifts and never a last-minute idea.
The forgotten gift" must be pur-
chased in haste and very often
must be made at home. There are
many small articles that can be
made in an hours time, and will
be duly appreciated as any one of
the gifts from the long-prepared
1 Christmas list.
A silk girdle is very easy to
make, and win not take more than
an hours time. The girdles with
the butterfly bow are made of two
yards of silk (the Dresden pre-
| ferred).
A net eamisole. made of one
yard and one-half of shadow lace
or figured net. having ribbon
shoulder straps and tied with rib
bon, is a pretty gift.
One yard of figured ribbon, two
small disks of cardboard, two
yards of narrow ribbon and q pow
der puff will fashion small bag
that will be a welcome gift to the
young girl. These little bags are
very simple to make. The card
board is covered with small pieces
of silk, the wide ribbon is gathered
around the edge OF the disk and
the top is turned over and the mar
row ribbon drawn through.
To make a dainty sachet bag
take one yard of figured ribbon
about five inches wide, double over
and pad with cotton and fill with
sachet powder. After it has been
sewed up quilt it with silkotine
and finish with small bows in the
corners. .

Feminine to a degree are the sim
pie blouses of net and chiffon that
are used on so many of the after
noon and evening frocks. Very oft
en- their sole adornment consists of
a few tuclSs or plaits and narrow
band of ribbon outlining the neck
and perhaps edging the sleeve. A
few rhinestone or pearl buttons
serve to close and to trim them at
the same time.
The effective little gown shown in
No. 1865 is developed in one Of those
quaint figured silks which are 80
reminiscent of grandmother's day,
and are so becoming to youthful,
slender figures. The uuderblouse OF
tucked figured net is rendered dou-
bly, pleasing by the trimming straps
which give the impression of sus-
peDders. Two broad plaits on the
front of the skirt afford the neces-
sary drapery.

cure which would not in1ure the

GRACE K.
Freckles are produced by an I'M
equal distribution of the pigment

ing is said to be good for this pur-
pose:
Tactic acid four ounces. glycer-

ounce. Apply several times daily

forwards. Another lotion consists
OF:
One wineglass lemon juice, one
pint rain water, five drops essence

Furs Combined

Furs are combined this season.
There is hardly a piece, muff, stole,
crepe or even coat. that does not com
bine two furs or IN which one fur does
not trim another. There is an effec-
tiveness about this sort of thing that
is usually rich and is no more costly
than the one fur alone. While 1t is
usual that two furs of like nap are
put together. ouch as errnine and
mole. white and black fox, it is also
true that the long haired furs, such as
fox and skunlxs. which are very effec-
tive as trimmings, are delightfully."-
combined with short-haired ones.
practically every fur coat one sees
has a collar and cuffs and perhaps
buttons of another fur.
