A Thought for You

In some families the grandparents
receive all the consideration possible;
In fact, Christmas seems to centre
around them and the children, while
in others the older members of the
household do not receive their share
of thoughtful attention at Christmas
time.
Why shouldn't grandmother. who
loves to knit, have a set OF gold knit
ting needles-nothing is too good for
her?f And for grandfather. who loves
his game of dominoes, why not set
of the mother-of-pearl ones, in a COM
expensive, but he viii prize them,
SAYS the New York Tribune.
II the frail grandmother is a great
reader she would appreciate ma
hogany book rest, which will save her
fingers from holding heavy books.
How unsuitable for her is the thin,
gauzy chiffon scarf meant for
debutante, when a cosey wooden wrap
could be thoroughly enjoyed.
Old people who must breakfast in
bed do not like to be considered as
invalids. but they would not mind
eating from pretty bed trays that
have not a hospital look. The white
enamel or wicker variety. with the
gay chintz under the glass, would
prove inviting. The very long-han-
died scissors for picking up things
from the floor are a useful gift for
the person too weak or frail TO stoop
over.
No matter how much candy there is
In the house, old people like TO have
their own boxes, so let bonbons be
included in the list Of Christmas re-
membranes for the elderly members
OF the household.

What Women Are Wearing

Various weaves OF velvet are used
for tailored suits and dresses. satin
and taffeta for afternoon frocks, and
serge and satin foE morning one
piece dresses. The widest tunics
measure about five yards about their
lower edge, the narrowest about two
and half or three.
Feathers are the new note in MIL
linery. They are mostly colored and
the newest are multi-coiored. While
the long and short tips are used, nov
eltv combinations and shapes are
considered very smart. There are
velvet hats OF dark colors to match
the suits and dresses-crow blue,
Russian green, magenta and dark
wine. tete de negre. brown and dark
taupe. and. of course. black. Some
of the afternoon and evening hats
are Of the metal laces with dull
finish. says the Buffalo Sunday Times.
The shapes are either very large
or very small In both, the crowns
are small to harmonic with the new
hair dressing, which is nat at the
sides and back and built up on top.
The small barrel mun has returned
in furs. being seen in the new three
piece sets-hat, tippet and muff.
These come in seal and monkey. They
are adorned with metal flowers in
dull finish and with swathing bands
of ribbon and loops.
L,acings, instead OF buttons, IL the
new note in afternoon boots and
shoes. In corsets there is more
shaping toward a waist line, though
this is done as yet in a most con-
sentative manner.

If one wants to simulate a frock
by adding a self-t toned blouse to a
skirt when the coat is off, one might
do well to consider the claims OF
that new style of cloth jumper that
Is slipped over a soft silk lining with
long sleeves.
This blouse is easily accomplished
by utilizing a piece of the skirt ma
terial and binding it with braid or
silk or velvet ribbon. It's juncture

coming I wondered if I would find
her much changed. I knew, Of course,
that she would appear different, but

she would be the playmate I had

on this subject. for as we rode
