Slippers of Linen

A new idea in bedroom slippers Is
TO make them OF linen. These are de-
cidedly comfortable on the feet, wear
well and can be washed easily. They
can be made from plain or embToid-
cred linen. just a little heavier than
you would use for doilies or centre
pieces. Buttonhole around the top in
a small scallop and make eyelets In
which to run narrow ribbon, says an
exchange.
They are very pretty made up OF
hamburg four inches wide and with
well-covered edge as well as an
open one through which the ribbon
can be run. When soiled they can
be removed from the sole. laundered
and replaced with little trouble. 1t is
well to keep a fresh pair always on
hand.

Plants as Gift Tokens

No gift SO well expresses the Christ
mas spirit as living plant, and
these are we'll worth considering be-
fore you complete your Christmas
gifts. Use the same good Judgment
and taste In selecting a plant that
you would in choosing any other
present. Consider the room in which
it is likely to be kept and get some
thing suitable, says the Buffalo Sun
day Times. As to the plants which
are best adapted to Christmas giving,
the range is wide. A handsome fern,
azalea, primrose, begonia and poin-
settia are all suitable, and make
cheerful companions. Such gifts are
made doubly valuable when the
plants have been raised by the giver
A woman whom l know slips her
holiday plants in August. and in De-
cember they are abloom. ready to be
sent to their new home.

Chapped Lips Again

Dear Margery Doom:
Please tell me what 70 do for
chapped lips, and oblige,
H. L. X.
When the lips chap and split
easily, constant treatment with
spirits OF camphor is beneficial. Il
will burn for a second, but that
sting will soon pass away. Cam
phorice will act In the same way
but much more slowly. It should be
applied at night and upon leaving
the house. Tincture OF benzoin may
be applied in the same way. If it be
strong enough to cause a drawing"
sensation, II may be diluted with
few drops of glycerine.
