Either of them will serve the purpose of waste basket and one of them-the bag at the bottom of the picture-iS designed especially for mans room. They are both very easy to make.
 At the top, bag which may be of silk or cretonne, is made by gath ering square of the goods along the hem. A brass ring Is sewed to the bag (formed by the gathering) at each corner. This bag is supported by standard made of four rods of wood fastened by screws to small circu- lar block of wood. The screws make the rods movable, so that the bag may be folded up and made to occupy small space when not in use.
 The bag at the bottom of the pie lure is also made of square. It is Of printed Japanese cotton. lined with plain Silkalenc. When the two materi- als have been sewed together the four points of the square are turned over the smaller of two oval embroidery hoops, and the second hoop is placed over It. A Japanese tassel, on n silk Cord, Is placed at each side. The ordS' caught between the hoops. form ule hangers by which the bag Is sus- pended from hook or from any con 'ehlent support.

The Sunday school room was ablaze


 The Sunday school room was ablaze with lights and a-glitter with reflec- lions from the tinsel decorated Christ mas tree that stood on the platform. Every seat in the room was filed when Aunt Hetty Treat limped up the aisle leaning on Robins strong young arm.
 Somebody gave up places in the front row of chairs so that the late corners might have seats. and then the organ rang out "Hark, the Herald Angels Singr' while everybody stood up and sang lustily.
 Robin looked up from her book once and noticed that Aunt IIetty was whispering to Anthony Drake as she slipped a package into his hand. Her brief glance at his face surprised a look of mingled astonishment and dis belief as he went back to his place on the platform.
 There were a prayer and more Christ mas carols. and then Parson Drake came forward and announced that the distribution of gifts would take place.
 q would like tO add"-he hesitated. his eyes fixed on the clock in the rear of the rooIn- that there will be one gift on the tree tonight which has been delayed two years in reaching its prop CT recipient It was given by mistake to another person. who never looked at it unti! today. l think the-the re- cipient will understand"
 With a very red face Parson Drake whipped out pocketknife and detach- ed package from the tree.
 "Willie Brownr' he called. And Will lie went forth to receive a book and a bag of candy.
 After that names followed thick and fast. and boys and girls and growu ups went to the platform with empty hands and came back laden with pack ages. oranges and bags of candy. and presently the whole room was pleas ant buzz of talk and laughter.
 As for Robin Treat, she sat there like R beautiful statue of snow ever since the parson had made his announce ment concerning the delayed present  She wondered if it was for her. It could not be that Aunt Hetty had re ceived it, although the old lady had given the minister package. But that package would contain the knitted silk mulller for Mir Drake. Robin shrugged her shoulders impatiently Of course the delayed gift was book for one of the children. She turned to smile down at Aunt Hetty. who was taking childike pleasure in lapful of gifts from the tree.
 Miss Robin Treat" read Parson Drake. and Robins face grew paler as she went up the aisle. No one noticed her going save Aunt Hetty. who looked anxiously at Robin as she came back with large boX of books and two

Der of times and she had gone up to receive sunday mysteriously tied pack ages. not one appeared to be from the young minister. Robin was deeply of tended. She could scarcely believe that Anthony would stoop 10 jest with her upon such tender subject as their newly awakened love for each other but when she found that he avoided her and that his manner grew cold and dis tant Robin shrugged her pretty shoul- ders and began a violent filtration with Ed Willis. the schOOlieacher.
 ''I haven't been to a Sunday school Christmas ,ree for two years" mur- mured Aunt Hetty. knitting vigorously.
 'I remember" said Robin quietly. You slipped down on the ice and sprained your ankle that night"
 And a sight of trouble 1t made me, '' sighed Aunt Hetty. 'l remember I just dumped all the things l got off the tree into my workable drawer. and there they are now-the popcorn bail. as hard Hs Il rock. and the orange. shrunk to almost nothing. and a mess was so upset"
 I'll take better care of you this time" promised Robin.
 You won't want to be bothered with an old woman. dear"
 "Why not?" laughed Robin cheerily.
 Aunt Hetty flashed her a queer glance ''I thought perhaps you were going with Ed Willis"
 Robin flushed warmly. I'm going with you or not at all." she said firmly.
 Aunt Hetty was silent for long while. then she asked: You are going to help Mir. Drake trim the tree tomor- row afternoon? Most of the other girls are going"
 "Perhaps so. There will be so many they won't miss me" said Robin. and Aunt Hetty was quick to note the tinge of bitterness in her tone.
 MT Drake always said you was his star helper" said the old woman quiet Iy. "You got your pie crust made?"
 "Yes. indeed. auntie. I'm going to fill my pies now Just taste this mince- meat and tell me if it isn't almost as good as you can make"
 Aunt Hetty took the spoon and tast- ed its contents. noddinG her head ap- provingly. Its perfect. Robin. You've done credit to my teaching. I believe your poor ma would say so if she was alive. Don't forget to save your pret- tiest pie for the parsOn."
 "Very we'll" said Robin patiently. al- though her heart rebelled.

ink ta~iatan b1gs of candy.
 Other names followed. and a greater roufus.on os sound seemed to shut Aunt uctty and her niece from the crowd
 "You got two bag-, Robin. Let me see what you've got. whispered Aunt Hetty.
 Robin looked down in her lap. Sure enough. there were two pink tarlatoy. jarS--une she had made that very day and the other. in the shape of a stock ing. she recognized as the candy bags used two years ago.
 Her hands fell to sudden trembling. Was it possible that this was the de- layed present-the one she should have received two years ago? If so. then she had received Aunt Hetty's stock ing that year and Aunt Hetty had re- ceived the precious one, and in the pain of her sprained ankle had tucked it away and forgotten it until that very day.
 She lifted her eyes and met the burn ing glance of Anthony Drake he was watching her. He had been waiting two years for his answer. Her fingers pulled out the drawstring that fasten- ed the top of the stocking, and she saw a handful of withered popcorn and stale candies.
 There was something else-a small Christmasy looking envelope with red seal and her name in a handwrit ing that brought hot blushes to her cheeks.
 Once more she glanced up shyly and met Anthony's questioning eyes. Her swiftly lowered head may have be- trayed her secret, for he turned away with a glad smile.
 Robin tore open the envelope anu drew out the little card with it's few penciled words. Her eyes filled with tears. Who but shy Anthony Drake would dream of proposing marriage on a Christmas card:
 Aunt Hetty reached q wrinkled hand over and squeezed Robins fingers You'll have to blame me. dearie." she whispered penitently.
 Its all right now" assured Robin. her glad eyes on Anthony. who was speaking to the hushed assemDlage.
 He was thanking them for their splendid gift of money for a new roof for the church He thanked them in dividually and collectively for the va rious gifts he had received from them and then his eyes asked Robin a ques ton and received an answer
 'T have to thank God for another very beautiful gift" he said reverently "It came to me this evening quite un- expectedly. and please God the gift will go down the years with me. help ing me to he a better preacher. bet ter teacher and helper among you. my people and better man. My gift He paused and looked at Robin with yearuing eyes. and responding to the appeal. she laid her gifts in Aunt Het- tvs lap and went quietly up to the platform and placed her hand in her lovers.
 My gift is here" completed Anthony Drake.
 But Robin believed that God had giv. on her the greater gift.

 Maybe so, dear. I'll see how feel. Just give me my knitting. dearie. 1 must finish the parsons muller"
 Robin brought the knitting basket overfiowing with bright colored silks and the half completed muller for the young clergyman. Her blue eyes were very bright.
 Two years ago-it had been Christ mas eve-the parson, young Anthony Drake. had whispered to Robin that there was gift for her on the tree. and something in his look and the tone of his voice led Robin to believe that in the shyly proffered gift lay the expression of his love for her.
 But the evening had passed unevent- fully. The presents had all been dis tributed from the tree. and. though Robins name had been called a nun
