for a host of others this year, do take a thought for next year, so that it will be just a bit easier.
 When you make your decisions, make note of them One clever wo- man keeps a list of the gifts she sends and to whom she sends them together with list of the gifts she receives and from whom she receives them each year. It is an invaluable guide when 1t comes to selecting gifts the next year. During the year she marks down in that book various desires which her friends have ex- pressed or ideas of her own as to their gifts.
 In this way the matter is not left until just few days before Christ mas, when the Christmas rush forces one to buy most anything, just to get the shopping donei
 Whats the use of giving a gift if you don't give one which the person who receives it really desires? The only way to give the thoughtful gift is to follow this little suggestion.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS

No more does the ink bottle or tho fountain pen terrify me. For if the ink spot is covered with borax, moistened with peroxide, and then all lowed to stand in the sun a little while, the stain will disappear. A second application may be necessary if the satin Is an old one, but the process is successful in the end.
 When food becomes baked hard upon casserole and bean pot very simple way to cleanse them and keep them looking like new is to put them in a large kettle and cover with cold water. Add a small handful of soap powder, set on back of stove and let come to a boil slowly.
 When removed from the water you will find that all the particles which were baked are loosened, and when washed will look like new.
 This saves having dirty dishes around soaking, and is a very simple way.
 To save trouble after opening a bottle of glue or cement, rub mutton tallow over a sound cork before in sorting it in the bottle.
 This prevents the cork from stick ing and being broken into small bits when an attempt is made to remove 1t.

Tes, verify, here's negligee that's made entirely of ribbons. Look bit closer and you can see that quite easily for yourself.
 It takes just two wide ribbons, with a dash of embroidery and then some fringe, and sIung with artistic care lessness across the shoulders, to make most of this negIigee proper. And then It takes but the simple addition of three narrower lengths, one used panel-wise down the centre of the back and two others forming collar and stole panels in front, with an extra one for the lowing, to com plete the dainty garment.
 Choose a two-tone ribbon, if pos sibIe, for the making of the confec- tion, an orange and blue perhaps, or coral and jade. Then try some bril- liant wool fringe upon it and work the trimming design in vidi wool, too. If, however, your original color scheme is so brilliant that it is ar tisticaIIy impossible to add any moro brilliance to 1t in the way of trim ming, then use black. For black, you know, is ever safe and always ef- fectiye
