Some of useful gifts that have al
ways appealed to the sensible-minded,
find themselves this year occupying
the front rank among things desirable
as Christmas presents. This is because
the number of Senslble-mlnded has
been much increased by the war.
Among the gifts for women which
relatives and close friends exchange,
there are the pretty matched sets OF
hat and bag, hat and scarf, scarf and
mufT or hat. scarf and muff to match
that each Christmastime brings In.
Some of these are simple enough to
be made ut home, others require the
work of the professional milliner in
making the hat. Usually the neck
pieces and muffs are easily managed,
especially since the ready-made and
ready-llned beds for mufrs are carried
nv dry goods stores. The simplest
turbans and hats are often success
fully made at home. One of these
simple sets, shown in the group above,
offers few difficulties to the clever un-
professional who does her own sewing.

An afternoon gown, which is des-

tor of this gown of exceptional dis

pattern suggests the virile designs

possibly suggested the short coat that
certainly radiates far east flavor.
