MASS PRODUCTION

indicating clearly the present tendency
toward mass production means OF
lowering the price, instead of the one
time method of lowering the quality TO
achieve the desired object. the highest
priced car of the 1913 Oldsmobile line
will be a seven-paSsenger car. at a re-
duction of about :i3 1- per cent over a
year ago. Devotees of the Oldsmobile
limited. which was so popular during the
1Dl2 season, may develop tendency to
view this statement with alarm, say the
manufacturers, but their fears are entire
ly needless.
About the only change. outside of She
usual refinementS is in the price The
features and quality of the limited have
been retained, SO that the car is familiar
ly an Oldsmobile. Figuring that the
lower price will materially raise the vol
ume of the sales and therefore render it
self possible. the company in its campaign
Is relying on the faith and appreciation
of the buying public.
With the idea of rendering the factory
work as efficient as possible the line has
been thoroughly standardized. and the
large factory that last season produced
three different models will now devote its
energies solely to turning out the one six

sTEEcnED BOOK Plates.

Stenciled book plates are among the
new and practical uses to which stem
Cling can be applied These book plate
stencils can easily be designed and ar
ranged by any one with a little knack
Of drawing. The letters for the nane
can be copied from Advertisements or
fancy lettering IN magazines, although
1t Is best to have the letter of very plain
designs, yet at the same time, they can
be somewhat unusual in pattern. The
name can be artistically arranged
around an open book, combined with the
favorite flower Of the owner, or In any
other simple, but effective way.
After the stencil is cut, II should be
given three coats OF shellac, so that Il
can be sponged OF after each applica-
ton When applying the shellac, one
coat should be allowed to thoroughly dry
before applying the next coat. Either a
thin cardboard or q stencil board should
be used for the cut stencil. which should
first be perfected on plain paper.
The. stencil Is made the correct size,

It over the inside cover of the book and
paint through the openings. Paints from

For Those Whom One Needs
Only Just to Remember

On every woman's Christmas list there
are the names Of many persons who have
to be ''just remembered" with some
trifie, and to meet this perplexity, there
is nothing more satisfactory than the
sachet. Prettiest among the newest
sachets is the butterfly, having wired-out
wings of brilliantly shaded silk and a
rather corpulent body to hold the per-
fume-scented cotton batting.
OF course, IL time isn't an object (there's
never enough of It round about Christ
mas, the siIken wings may be hand
embroidered, but practically the same eff
fects may be obtained by using Oriental
ribbons or the bits of brocade which are
so expensive to buy by the yard, but
which the fashionable dressmaker's porter
sweeps out along with the rest of the
workroom trash.
Your dressmaker viii gladly give you
enough scraps Of embroidered chiffon,
Powered net or plain malines to make
the gauzzy wings Of scores OF butterfly
sachets, too fragile to be placed in
gloves. veil. and handkerchief boxes, but
lovely to stick upon pin cushions and
upon window draperies.
Much easier to make are the envelope
sachets. These are about the proper
tons of visiting card envelopes. but

DOLLY CASES MAKE

terial.

They're Just the incest things imagtn-
able, those dolly cases, and they are
very easy to make. The cases can be
made Of any soft, firm, pretty mater
ial, but cretonne seems best suited 70
the purpose.
Procure a piece Of soft. rather heavy
cretonne in a light color. white
background with design in light color

when it is soiled and launder It before
the soil has an opportunity to come ON
on the doilies. The cretonne Is cut q
yard long by twenty-four inches wide.
II il faced or lined with piece OF
heavy white sateen the same size. Tne
whole is then bound with a han-incn
ribbon the color OF the design. Inc
ribbon binding does not need turning
In because Of the two selvage edges,
and 1t Is Just as well, and perhaps bet
ter, to stitch the binding by machine.
The Fasteners.
On one end Of the case thus made
sew three pieces Of the ribbon for fae-
teners. These fasteners should eacn
be about fifteen inches In length ana
should be placed about eight incnes
apart, one piece being In the exact
center of the end Of the case and the
others being eight inches either SIDE
Of 1t. The ribbons should be lacked
firmly to the case exactly by the CEN
ter of their lengths, so that there
will be the two ends to tie about the
case when it is rolled.
Now In the other end is fastened
pasteboard mailing tube. This Is not
fastened in permanently, because the
tube must be taken out each time the
case is washed. The tube. which Is
twenty-four inches long and about an
inch and a half wide, must have It's
edges trimmed neatly. Two circles are
then cut from a piece OF the cretonne
and are pasted or tied with heavy
thread over the tube ends. The cretonne
circles must be large enough 10 come
an inch or more over the edges OF the
tube. The tube is then rested upon the
end Of the case that has not the riooon
fasteners, and this end is brought over
the tube far enough to cover II, ana Is
tackled In several places to the sateen
lining to keep the tube from slipping
out.
The case IL now ready for the doilies-
When the case Is spread out 80 that II
lies perfectly fat, place the dolly or
doilies In II, so that they lie upon the
nat surface without q wrinkle, and De-
gin at the tube end to roll the case
carefully I'D over the doilies- Great
care must be taken when rolling the
case or the doilies win wrinkle. When
the case and doilies have been wrapped
about the tube, tie the case fast to the
tube by the little ribbon fasteners. TO

To make q cap OF this variety, fold

form pointed revere over the ears and
finely pleat or gather the neck portion
Of the cap TO 1T the small head. Orna-

A little gift for the sewing basket.
which can be made from scraps Of silk
or satin, is tiny slipper, which serves
for q thimble holder and a circular
needlecase to match.
Fashion a tiny slipper sole Of two thin
pieces Of cardboard. Cover with the
material and overland together, then
fashion a toe piece and overland 1t to
the sole. The toe Of the slipper serves
as the pocket for the thimble. Ornament
the toe with a little embroidery or a
few crystal beads.
A little circular needlecase to match
may be made by covering four pieces OF
cardboard and then overhanding two of
the covered pieces together, making two
circular disks.
Between these disks put circles of
pinked flannel and fasten together at
the top with a few stitches concealed
under a small ribbon bow. Before cover

DARNING HINTS.

Darning IL an accomplishment which
most of us nr,d necessary TO practice. A
few hints may help, therefore, to solve
some Of the difficulties Of this work.
A very essential thing to consider Ii
the needle, which should always be large
enough to carry the thread easily. II
the eye of the needle is too small, the
thread will gather into q knot at the
eye. This will prevent the work from
being smooth and even, and besides there
will be the difheulty Of pulling the needle
through the goods.
The material to be darned should be
basted over a heavy paper or put into
a small pair Of embroidery hoops, so
that the work can be more quickly
executed. II the goods to be mended is
old, haste piece of old material under
II and take the stitches through the old
piece underneath the goods.
A rapid way to mend undergarments
that are becoming worn Is to stitch with
the sewing machine back and forth in
parallel lines, then turn the goods and
run stitches at right angles to those
already taken.

their lonliness and heartache Of the

The-Little- Old-Lady was the first to
open her eyes in the morning. Already
a great Christmas fire cracked In her
room, and across the big armchair in

gowns, while soft warm slippers stood
beside the fire.

Little Old-Lady slipped on the luxurious
robes, and stuck their feet into the slip

shouts Of Merry Christmas" echoed
through the big old house that had been
the home OF The Seven. There was not
one OF them missing, nor one Of their
own brood absent, and back of them all
stood the maid Sarah, her eyes bright
with the Joy of Christmas, and the won
derful surprise that 1t had brought those
she served and loved.
As for the Goodman and The-Lttle-
Old-Lady-well, their joy was so blessed

Seven had made to spend Christmas Day
with them faded into nothingness, even
as the mist Of the dawn fades before the
sunlight Of the morning.

Different peoples have tones in their
voices that are natural to them alone,

voice one hears has no brogue. or burr.

to the voices OF the Irish Players. who

that there is distinctly an Irish voice,
as pleasant and in its way az thrilling
