Japanese TOWeling
For Christmas Gifts

= UMEROUS attractive Christ
AH mas things may be made from
Japanese toweling, a novel
material, which costs about
rs cents to $1.25 for a piece of ten
yards. This narrow, coarse, white cot
ton crapy goods is printed at intervals,
with the two toned designs, showing
by moonlight. a few scattered maple
leaves, flying birds, shaggy chrysan-
themums and similar designs.
A bolt or two may be easily convert
ed into presents. A farseeing matron
bought the toweling and made it up
into tea sets. the crosspieces forming
the cloth proper and the dozen small
napkins She fagoted the two strips
together with coarse blue floss, then
marked the napkins with long, angular
Japanese letters, one above the other.
with a dash beneath. The marking in
blue was done in a corner where the
white background predominated. One
of her sets, she is sure, will be enjoyed
next summer by a hostess who has a
veranda furnished in blue and white.
Another is to be sent to young bride
in whose simple little dining room blue
and white china is used.
This toweling has also been used for
a nursery set. A spread Of the white
cotton Grape is bordered with the tow
cling, and dresser cover and curtains
are made to match. This japanese
material is to appear in set for an in
valid's breakfast tray. The oval cloth.
shaped to fit the tray, is buttonholed,
and it has the napkins to match. A
set Of fruit napkins made of the blue
and white Grape will be another Christ
mas remembrance. The toweling laun-
ders perfectly, and fruit stains do not
show. A child would enjoy having a
half dozen of the marked napkins for
her every own" to use in her school
lunch box.
Laundry bags and bags for the table
napery to hang in the buffers pantry
made with the convenient hoop'top are
both pretty and practical.
Another gift that will not come amiss
is pair of helnstitched sash curtains
for the small bathroom window.

breakfast and ride, and dine at six.
