JUST A CHRISTMAS HINT.

Two women who were sitting in 1 front of me at the Royal were talking about various matters. and finally the conversation got around to Christmas, Said Mrs. Warren to Mrs. Tombstone Canyon, "Oh dear. what are we going to do about Christmas presents this year? I used always to start my em, broidering and crocheting in Septem. Der, so as to get my gifts all in the mail at least two weeks before Christ- mas, but here I am so absolutely rush. on this Red Cross sweater" and she patted the lowered knitting bag that rested in her lap. flor five weeks. and it isn't nearly finished yet"
 She sighed quite tragically, and her companion nodded assent Yes" she replied. Even Christmas presents do not count when there is war work to be done"
 "Of course," Mrs. Warren answered plaintively. and intend to do my share. Why, I am even joining that new class in nursing, so that if Jimmie goes to France in the spring, can go too, and be near him. sew Wednes- days at the Red Cross rooms and I am studying dietetics so as to work up meat and wheat saving menus, I have always given little gifts that I made myself. partly because I always enjoy getting dainty little embroidered or crocheted articles, and partly because they are convenient things to mail"
 q know just what you need" smiled Mrs. Tombstone Canyon. Do you know where Castle Rock is? Do you re- member the Castle Rock Studio?"
 Why, of course l remember it." Mrs. Warren replied vaguely. What about it?"
 ! When you get a half hour ro really think about Christmas presents, go and visit the Castle Rock Studio, and you will find an agreeable surprise in store for you. I discovered it quite by accident one day when Jimmie had the car downtown, and 1 walked down to ! meet him at the cafeteria for supper As I walked by the old studio. I hap pened to notice a glass case, so of course I stopped to investigate. It had two shelves, and on the lower one were three lovely little tea aprons, all hand embroidered and edged with cro- chet. just the kind of thing you like to get for Christmas. And on the top shelf there were come bouroir caps. One all in pink. of satin ribbon puffed on a pink crochet crown, and with a wide edge of pink flet was simply a dream, and I couldn't resist going right in and ordering me one like it. You know pink is Jimmie's favorite color.
 What other things did you seer" Mrs. Warren asked interestedly.
 Well, there were boudoir caps in ecru crochet of knot stitch, with lav- ender rosette on the side and of dres- den ribbon combined with crochet in colors, you know the kind people wear so much nowadays in the automobile cant begin to describe the other laces. nightgown and corset cover yokes. in white and colors, and in all designs from sprays of roses to the lovely old fashioned spider web. Then there were guest towels embroidered or lace edged, and all for the most reasonable prices imaginable, and pill low slips and dresser scarfs and even lace pin trays to match"
 The moving picture had come to romantic end and the women arose. went out just behind them. and heard Mrs. Warren say: Well. I shall cer. tainly visit the studio, and see those lovely things and Mrs. Tombstone Canyon replied. and the best part of it is that you can order anything you happen to see in the new crochet books and" but here they saw car and hurried to meet it.
