claim to both these valuable possessions,
the woman OF the world has nothing more
to fear.
Motoring in winter time, in the face of

leaves nose and ears cold and numb, is
not always an unmixed pleasure, but fur

an open car not quite so unbearsble. For
days such as these a new motor bonnet
has been designed especially suited to
feminine requirements.
This is fashioned Of colored suede. or

or afford enjoyment to those who parti-

classic, symbolic and all other forms of

HERE ARE WAYS TO EARN
MONEY FOR CHRISTMAS

The big and all-absorbing demand of
all home girls in the months previous
to Christmas is How shall I make some
Christmas money!" The question is
many sided and solutions are numerous
and varied, some of them practical, some
widely impossible.
The best thing for the girl who lacks
originality to do is to follow the leader.
What other girls have done, she can do,
and perhaps do better than the girl who
invented the idea. There are many girls
who are only too anxious to make money
but cannot find any unique ways of doing
50. Let them not be discouraged. Pioneer
money-makers have blRzoned the way
before them and the less daring may
follow the path already opened.
One girl had learned to weave baskets
IN class in school and being fond of the
work she had kept it up. At last the
idea occurred to her that the beautiful
baskets she made ought to bring her in a
good bit of money. So she made a very
ornate work basket This first attempt
took her quite some time and she seldom
spends so long a time on one article
nowadays.
This basket was of the finest reed, with
a circular design woven into IT.: then Il
was dyed a cream color. She lined it
with rose-colored satin and fitted it with
all the necessary sewing implements,
making the needle case and pin cushions
by hand. The basket was finished of
with a large. fat rose-colored ribbon, and
the whole sold at a woman's exchange
for SIS.
She makes, besides, many lovely waste
paper baskets. Now che has added the
weaving of bassinets for babies, and her
sister, an expert needlewoman, makes ali
the dainty things. These two clever girls
make a good deal Of money and share
alike on the profits.
The girl who can burn wood and
leather has a wide field open to her.
There are innumerable leather daintfss
which are in great demand around
Christmas time. Whole hides can be
bought at once, IL there are many or
eens to I'LL They arc rather expensive,

one cannot help being struck by the ex-
traordinary improvements that the last
few years have made in the design and
workmanship Of American-made gar
ments. Milliners, costumers. furriers and
tailors all nowadays produce creations
that bear the high-water mark OF skilled
perfection.

the girl has a great many friends, il
might be wiser to begin in a small way.
Ali the leather desk novelties are very
popular as Christmas gifts. Beautiful
covers for engagement pads, address
books and so forth may be made of soft
leather, then burned and tinted if de-
sired.
Hammered brass also brings good
prices. The brass in the sheet form is
not expensive, and from the sheets 4:
can be cut into any shape. The ham,
mered brass lamp shades are stunning
when finished OF with gold fringe. Desk
sets Of pen and pencil trsy, letter holder,
hiotter and triangular edges for the big
oesk blotter, all make a set which will

lures, frames, and many other articles,

also send announcements to all her
friends and acQuaintances. telling them
that she is open for orders for Thanks
giving and Christmas dainties, with her
house and telephone number printed con-

Cooking is the most practical of accom-
plishments and dancing only an art, yet
nowadays dancing can be put to the
most practical of purposes. If you are
an adept at the art of the turkey trot,
the fish walk or the tango, your fortune
is made IL you are able to teach the
steps TO a number OF your friends. OF
course, it is necessary to have some one
to play the piano while the dancing les
