Perhaps II will not come amiss just
at this time, to make some suggestions
Tor simple and inexpensive Christmas
gifts. Never was there a time when
money was so scarce, nor when IL was
more wanted and much more needed
for the unfortunate ones of our own
and other countries
To many people inexpensive spells
undesirable, but that is in no sense
true. III we look among our own be-
longings, many of our most cherished
possessions cost very little, as reckon
ed III dollars and cents, but are in
valuable in usefulness, but there is one
thing that should always be remember
ed much more thought has to be given,
for each gift must be one wanted and
needed by the person for whom it is
intended. What might mean a daily
delight and comfort to one, might be
an absolutely useless article to anoth-
er. So take each person and give to
that gift the thought necessary 20
make IL a personal one.
To any one who travels much, moth
ing is nicer than a set Of tray covers.
These can be made from anything
from cheesecloth TO silk, but as we are
trying for little expense, the best are
those made from cotton crepe. This
material does not crush, comes in solid
colors or daintily figured, and is al
most dust-proof. For a friend in
mourning, or an elderly person, the
white grounds with small lavender
flowers, and featherstitchedi in lavender
silk, around the four sides, is espec-
tally desirable. This material sells
for 25 cents "a yard, but can often be
IL, he. g..
The covers should measure u yards
each. Younger people prefer pinks
or blues. but here again try to be
personal and find what color is the
chosen one OF the friend Intended.
These covers can also be made in yard
lengths for weekend trunks or suit
cases. Squares made from the same
material are most useful for evening
slippers or some particularly perish
able lingerie waist.
Another suggestion for trunks is the
tray sachets. Take the length OF the
ordinary tray and buy twice the length
of material for each sachet. Between
the two lengths put one Of cotton bat
ting and sprinkle thickly with the
sachet powder. Try to have the same
perfume that this friend always uses,
for nothing irritates a particular
woman more than to mix her scents.
These scented pads are always useful
for they can be used in bureau draw
ers when not travelling around the
country.
Sachets are almost limitless in their
use as gifts, for every woman likes
them. Made into sets for corsage use,
one Of each of the many colors used
by the friend for her dresses and filled
with a perfume of not too great
strength, and finished off with a little
ribbon-covered safety pin, they are all
ready to pin into any waist These
are usually made about inches
square, and are fine to use up odds
and ends Of ribbon. Made slightly
larger, they are the correct size for
corset use.
Another charming use for the
sachets is the scented boudoir cap.

Extra Mail Distribution

Postmaster Bricker has inaugurated
an extra mail distribution at the post
office. First class mail arriving on
the 6:53 p. m. train is distributed and
placed in the boxes Immediately. This
is an innovation which will be greatly
appreciated. Hitherto letters arriving
on this train have not been available
until the next morning.

A new toy had gone on board a
West India ship, upon which painter
had also been employed to paint the
ships side. The painter was al work

ships stern.
The captain. who had just got into
boat alongside. called out to the
new boy, who stood leaning over the
rail. Let go the painter
Everybody should know that q
boats painter is the rope which makes
It fast, but this boy did not know It..
He ran AFT and let go the ropes by

This bar of wood or metal runs across
the hand hole for change. The cash.
iers have figured out the angle OF vi

distance they stand from the desk to
receive their change.
Say a dollar is changed to take out

artist win push forward the 20 cents
In coin. but his hand will halt one
dime that is hidden from the angle of
vision of the man getting change by
the line of the bar over the cash hand
hole. If the man is in a hurry or alb
sentminded he grabs the change he
sees and rushes off without one dime
Always stop, stoop and look IL IA

EnVer Bey got an idea OF the looks
Of his future bride by means of a pho
tograph. This illustrates a difficulty
from which the young Englishman is
free, but which is sometimes very
amazing to the young Turk He ought
not to see his brides face until he has
actually married her, or at the very
least until he is betrothed. The young
lady, as Duckett Ferriman points out,
can take drive and get glimpse OF
her suitor's face out of doors. But her
face should remain yelled from him,
and, although he generally contrives
to get an idea of her appearance, it
cannot always be done. Mr.. Ferriman
mentions high officials son who was
mortified at his wedding to find his
bride brunette. when he wanted a
blonde.
