Cozy bedroom slippers will make
their many recipients happy and more
comfortable this Christmas, as they
have every Christmas for years with
out number. They are among the
gifts that are always welcome. and
every member Of the family, old or
young, counts upon a pair Of them as
among the bounties of Santa Claus.
There are some new developments
among knitted and crocheted slippers.
A pair of beautiful ones shown in the
picture is knitted of gray yarn and
set on to soles padded with quilted
satin in rose color. On the toe there
is set pretty knitted rose, and two
roses like it are placed at each side of
the heel, where an extension of the
back of the slipper turns down. At
the instep a bow of rose-colored satin
ribbon is slipped through a knitted
strap. This is an alluringly pretty
slipper that may be made in other
color combinations to suit it to older
or younger wearers.
A second pair is knitted of light
brown yarn and has eiderdown lined
soles Of leather. Quite deep exten-
sion is knitted at the back, which may
be turned up about the ankles. These
are appropriate slippers for men as
well as women, and are decorated
with small silk pompons.
A pair of wooden shoe-trees makes
a most acceptable gift for either men
or women. In the picture the spring
OF the shoe-tree is covered with yellow
satin ribbon slifrred over it. The rib
bon is tied in a small bow at the heel
OF the tree and the toe is painted with
gold paint. If the trees are to be
given to a woman three tiny chiffon
or ribbon roses may be set on the
shirred ribbon, but for a man this
frivolous touch is omitted.
Everyone needs several pairs of shoe
trees, so they are always sure to
please those who receive them. They
may be made In sets of three or four
pairs,

Every bedroom needs some sort of
receptacle to hold anything that is to
be disposed Of temporarily. Here are
two bags conveniently open, inviting
to an orderly disposition of small ar
ticles. Either of them will serve the
purpose of a waste basket and one Of
them-the bag at the bottom of the
picture-is designed especially for a
mans room. They are both very easy
to make.
At the top, a bag, which may be
Of silk or cretonne, is made by gath
ering a 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 a
standard made of four rods of wood
fastened by screws to a small circu-
lar block of wood. The screws make
the rods movable, so that the bag may
be folded up and made to occupy a
small space when not in use.
The bag at the bottom of the pic
ture is also made Of a square 1t is
Of printed Japanese cotton, lined with
plain silkalene. When the two materi-
as 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 a silk
cord, is placed at each side. The
cords, caught between the hoops form
the hangers by Which the bag is sus-
Apended from hook or from any con-
venient support. Japanese prints come
in designs of strong, bold colorings.

and then is where their dear Old
dads got in their fine work with
their hoarse boots and loud laughs.
On one occasion a number Of the
boys borrowed several top bug
gies that were awaiting repairs in
the yard of the wagon building
shop of the late w. II. Hollenbeck,
which was located on the corner OF
Second and Walnut streets. The
boys really did no intend TO steal
the buggies. but merely to give
them new locations in different
parts of the town. 1t was beau
|tiful moonlight night, and the boys
had succeeded in getting the bug
gies nicely and quietly out of the
yard and onto Second street. when
suddenly the genial Henry, pro-
prietor of the aforesaid wagon
building shop appeared among
them as though dropped from
above. Henry did not announce
his arrival-it was totally unneces-
sary. In his good right hand he
had nice full-sized buggy whip.
He welded the whip once, got a
good crack at one of them, and the
next instant there were about 81
varieties of boys going in streaks
in 81 different directions. Henry
had received advance information
as to what was going to happen to
the buggies. No, dear reader, the
writer was not one of the 81, for
at this time myself and pal We're
engaged in some more nefarious
work.
On one Halloween in the late
seventies some of the young ladies
of the Burg conceived the idea of
celebrating the event in manner
original with themselves. Their
pranks, though ludicrous were in
offensive and harmless. One OF
their stunts was to attach home
made rag doll to the front door
knob of the abode of each of the
town S most prominent bachelors,
confirmed and otherwise. During
the evening they also had a nice
little social session at the home of
one Of their number.

How Catarrh is Contracted.

Mothers are sometimes so thought
less as to neglect the colds which their
children contract. The Inflammation
of the mucus membrane, at first acute
becomes chronic and the child has
chronic catarrh, disease that is sell
dom cured and that may prove life's
burden. Many persons who have this
loathsome disease will remember hav-
ing had frequent colds at the time it
was contracted. A little forethought,
a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy judiciously used, and all this trou-
BILE might have been avoided. Obtain
able everywhere.

There is more Catarrh IN this Sec
tion of the country than all other dis
eases put together, and until the last
few years was supposed to be incur
able. For great many years doc
tors pronounced it local disease and
prescribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven Catarrh to be a
constitutional disease, and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
T. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is
the only Constitutional cure on the
market. 1t is taken internally in
doses from 10 drops to teaspoonful.
1t acts directly on the blood and mu-
cous surface of the system. They offer
one hundred dollars for any case it
fails to cure. Send for circulars and
testimonials.
