I am sure some owners of motors will be found who will rejoice at tho chance to do so kindly turn as this letter asks. The number of women who have delighted those less fortunate than themselves by drives in carriage and auto is large-I myself have been blessed enough to know several of them. I shall

What shall we do with Christmas pres ents?' sympathize with the writer's position in that I was at one time the victim of such so-called useless gifts. but managed to give them to the egg woman and the butter man. who live in the country and whose houses are bare of any fancy articles. They were de- lighted with the presents. My own Christi mas was rather poor one this year, for my relatives had suffered great losses and az consequence was overstocked with handkerchiefs and cheap hose.

AS have said before. 1t is impossible for me to fur nish such information without having the initials or name appended to the letter. l will put Mrs. W. M.

 Do hear you protest at this point that your housekeeping allowance is too small to permit of your buying fancy articles of that kind? was expecting that ex- cuse and I grant that often the expense of new utensils seems heavier than can DC borne. Yet in this day when cheap kitchen fittings may be obtained there is less apology for an i'll furnished pantry than ever before and it is poor economy to do without needed implements 50 long ss they can be bought so cheaply. Of course. 1t is wiser to buy a good thing in inc first place and 1t will possibly out last several of the cheaper kind, but the latter make excellent stop-gaps when you can't afford the former.
 One of tho ways how not to do 1t is to try to make good bricks without straw or to mix and cook when you haven't the things to do it with. To me there is deep discouragement in attempting to strain soup through sieve with broken handle or a cracked rim, to whip eggs light with beater that catches and balks. to slice bread with a knife so dull that it cfushes the bread instead of cutting it, and I scsnect that other housekeepers have the same feeling.

Republican A. p. Leased wire1


 SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 14-Miss Molla Bjurstedt of Norway, holder ot the woman's American national cham pionship, scored another victory to- day in t!.e Round Robin tennis tour namert which concluded here today by defeating Mrs May Sutton Bundv, who herself once wore a champion's < crown. The score was 1O-S, 6-2. Miss BJurstedt defeated Mrs. Hazel Hotch- kiss Wightman last Friday:
 For the first seven games Mrs. Bundy played all around the cham pion, but lost her steam in the eighth and from then on. as Mrs. Bundy's play lost force and precision, Miss Bjurstedt steadily improved and won easily.
 In the second set of an exhibition mixed doubles, Clarence Griffin turned his ankle. It was reported later that the injury was serious and might keep him out of the game for some time.
 Mir. and Mrs Wightman, by de- feating Helen Barker and Roland RobertsS 6-2, 6-4, won the Pacific coast mixed doubles championship
 Miss Molla Bjurstedt, Mrs Bundy and Miss Florence Sutton will leave tomorrow fer Long Beach, where they and Miss Mary Browne will play series of exhibition matches 1n the Virginia courts.
