SIMPLE HOME MADE
 CHRISTMAS GIFTS
CBy Betty BIarney.)


 Perhaps .it wili not come amiss just at this time to make some suggestions for simple and inexpensive Christmas gifts. Never was there 9 time when money was. 30 scare, nor where 1t 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 10 in no sense true. If we look among our own be, longings, many of our most cherished possessionB cost very little, as reck- oned in dollars and cents, but there is one thing that should always be re- membered, much more thought has to be given, for each gift muot be one wanted and needed by tho person for whom 1t is intended. What might mean a daily delight and comfort to one, might be an absolutely useless article to another. So take each per son and give to that gift the thought necessary to make it Q personal one.
 To. any. one who travels much, noth- ing is nicer than a.sot of tray covers. These can be made from anything from cheesccloth to silk, but as wo arc trying for little expense, the best are thome made from cotton crepe. This material does not crush, comes in solid colors or dainty figured, and is almost dust proof For a friend in mourning or an elderly person, tho white grounds with small lavender flowers, and featherstltchod in lavender silk around the four sides, is especially de slrable. Thls material sells for twen- ty-fve cents a yard, but can often be bought in remnant lengths foa iesa The covers should measure one and ] one.haif yards each. Younger people 1 prefer pinks or blues but here again 1 try to be personal and find what color is tho chosen one Of the friend in tended. These covers can also be made in yard lengths for weekend trunks or suit caseB. Squares made from the same material arc most use l ful for evening slippers or some par l Hcularly perishable lingerie waist.
 Another suggestion for trunks i5 th' tray Bachcts. rake the length Of tne ordinary tray and buy twice th, 1 length Of material for each saehot Between the two lengths put one o cotton batting and sprinkle ihicllls with tho sachet powder. Try to hay, tho same perfume that this irlent 1 alwayB uses, for nothing ivritate5 2 particular woman more than to mi, ! her cenls These scented pads art always ussiul, for they can be used lr bureau draworg when not travelling around tae county
 sacbets gro almost HmitlesB In their use as gilts, for every woman like.

 l.. Naudeau, correspondent of the Paris Journal, and with the Russian troops, wrote Of the recent great bat tle In Poland with graphic descrip- ton.
 He said: "On December 6. the bat tie of Poland continues with new de- velopments and sudden amplifications in unforeseen directions. It is perhaps the bloodlost fighting the universe has ever known.
 "When on the brink of disaster, the Germans at tho cost of immense loss es escaped the bear-hug of the Siber- ian corps. The Germans were able to reconshtute their shattered ranks and fortify the front, and now fur ious fighting is in progress in the zone of which Lodz is the centre"

THEN PLEADS FOR HER

SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 4.- Tho complaint of S. Foster Kelley, former Seattle banker charging that Mrs. Iva May Henery, with obtaining $500 by false pretenses was dismissed here today by Police Judge crist Kelley told the court that he brought the action against Mrs. Henery because 'he wanted her to realize her poai- ton"
 Pressed for an explanation, Kelly said:
 notwithstanding the frauds Mrs. Henery has perpotrated against me. love her and always will. l have giY- en her every dollar ] possess and have made a will bequeathing her all of my property l would rather spend ten years in jail myself than gee her go back there for a week"
 Mrs. Henery smiled continually all throughout Kelly's testimony. She said the $500 referred to by Kelley in his complaint was part payment on a note for $1O,O00 he had given her.
 Mrs. Henery was arrested last ey- ening and released on $500 cash bail.
 The warrant charged thpt Mrg. Henry obtained $500 from Kelly by representing that she had just submitted to an appedicltls operation and needed the money to pay expen- ses. These representations Kelley ayerred in his complaint were untrue.
