The question that perSlexes us at
Christmas time more than any other
except one-is What shall get for
herr" And the exception is, what
shall l get for him." Every year
brings in a. lot OF novelties in dress
accessories, house adornments and
furnishing, jewelry and all the thou
sand and one things that women re-
quire, SO that selecting present for
women, or girls is a matter of choos-

mating novelties displayed in the
shops
Fashion helps us out this year; such
is the fad for sashes and girdles that
everybody wants not one but several

Seven new models in sashes and

Examples of all the popular new

BEAVERS ALONG THE BIG WOOD
Civilization Has Not Driven Them
Entirely Out of the Country.

w. B. Lamb, who spent some or the
fine November weather camping and
fishing along the Big Wood river be-
low the dam, says that there are quite
a few beavers there. despite the prob
ably general belief that they are en-
tirely driven out of this part of the
country. He says that he found not
few traces where trappers had been al
work; their stakes set along the river
bank. where they had attached their
traps. He was not able to say that
any beaver had been caught, though
the work was apparently that of men
who knew how to trap. If any of the
animals had been taken, their work
was 40 we'll concealed that no incrim-
mating evidence was found-eXcept
the stakes, which of themselves prove
nothing save that someone had tried
to catch the beavers.
Quite few minks and muskrats are
being taken along the Little WOOD
river, and muskrats In the canals
away from the river. The prices OF
furs have gone SO high that almost
any kind of wild skin is worth good
money. Muskrats bring Is cents or
more apiece-while the writer recalls
having trapped them when boy. back
in Iowa. big fat, beautiful skins. and
sold them for or II cents apiece. Ine
mink skin brings from a to $7.5o
apiece. There are said to be gooo
many bobcats out, along the Big Wooo
river, and there are enough coyotes al
over the country to mako trapping
profitable. -Richfield Recorder.

an inch and half wide, and tuck
of the same width. Back of this are
two rows of shirring. A buckle is
cut from buckram. 1t is between four
and five inches long and half as wide
as 1t is long. 1t is wrapped with mar
row velvet ribbon in dull, dark green
and sewed to the girdle. Hook and
eye fastenings are provided and the
girdle is boned at the ends and sides.
1t is to be worn with the fastening at
the back, front or sides, at the pleas
ure Of the wearer.
Figure is similar girdle in q
narrower and heavier ribbon. It is a
gay Roman striped affair to be worn
with cloth or other afternoon gowns
and with street dresses. It's buckle
is smaller and an oval form. The end
is turned under, forming a three-inch
loop. Very little ribbon is required
for this, about three-quarters of yard
for the average waist.
One of the prettiest designs is pic
tured in Figure 3. 1t is a plain girdle
of black satin ribbon having two ends
finished with plaid ribbon. 1t is boned
at the gathered ends and fastened
with hooks and eyes. The plaid rib
bon is machine stitched to the end
with white silk thread.
The plaid sash in Figure is one of
the smartest of the new designs. The
buckle at the waist is made of silk in
the prevailing color of the plaid and

second smaller buckle fastens the
hanging loop and end together.
A more expensive ribbon is used for
the next model than appears in any
of the others. In Figure a silk and
velvet is shown having a dark green
ground in satin with roses in subdued
colors and foliage in blurred outlines
covering the surface. The girdle is
laid In loose, irregular folds and
stayed with bones. The shorter end
overlapping the girdle is thirteen
inches long and the longer nineteen
inches. The ends are finished with
plain green velvet ribbon machine
stitched to place. 1t is an inch wide.
"A gay ribbon in broken plaid and
new color is pictured in Figure 6. This
is dark gray with blue and rose and
green In markings and border. The
buckle Is in green velvet
A plain tailored sash with plated
girdle is among the best and most
popular Of all the new ideas. It has
q novel finish. A single end overlaps
the girdle (which 10 stiffened with q

some loose change represented her
gifts for the day-money was not as
plentiful this year. The Christmas
eve shoppers pushed and jostled her
as she made her way along the crowd
ed thoroughfare, where bright stores
displayed their wares in tempting ar
ray. Carefully separating one of the
new bills and putting 1t aside for the
rent, she entered q store that promised
the trinket she was looking for. The
tired saleslady answered the question
that was put to her politely, undoubt-

pale face before her. No. she did not
think it would be possible to get q
gold locket. nor even an imitation one,
for the amount mentioned. Why did
the lady not try to purchase a pretty
string of beads? Muttering a low

pointed woman turned once more to

decided to return home and make the

DOSY HAGGERTY pulled the worn
form as she hurried out into the
cheerless dawn Of the raw December
day The little lame sister-Maggie-
crippled but always merry, the one bit
Of sunshine in the older sisters life,
still lay asleep. blissfully unconscious
Of the pitiful struggle necessary in or
der to procure the wherewithal to
make life possible. The little sister
had never walked. but the small room
where she lived was kept as sunny
bright as was possible, even when 1t
meant that the older sister went oft
times hungry to bed.
As she climbed YEARLY to the Offices,
grim and unbeautiful in the early
morning light, and prepared for the
rough work ahead. her mind reverted
again and again to the question asked
In such q pleading voice. Sister
Rosy, don't you think Kris will bring
me gold locket-a heartshaped one
like Miss Mile had on the day she
called?'
A gold locket! Rosy's care and sac
xifice, resulting in the magnificent pur-
chase Of = few candy toys, new dress
and q gingerbread man, suddenly sank
into nothingness beside the startling
significance Of this childish question.
Other years she had cleaned several
dollars from generous employers 1t
Christmas time. Perhaps sho might
manage to got one that was not really,
truly gold Ill the way through. She
scrubbed away vigorously. The dust

loud exclamation of Joy made the
sleeping child turn on her pillow, but
she did not waken. On dainty bed

denly swept over the little woman, as
she realized that this did not belong
to her; white card fell from the
wrapping and fluttered to the floor.
Picking 1t up she read:
Merry Christmas to Maggie"
She laughed with the JOY Of posses
sion. 1t was for Maggie, and taking
it over to the little chair. she hung it
lovingly around the neck OF the GIN
