lace and silk And nothing could
make a lovelier gift than the ex-
quisite buckles offered at the
Thomas Fitzpatrick company's shoe
department. Witchingly fine are
these rhinestone encrusted buckles
ranging in price from SIS to $50.
From France come the chic crea-
tions in cut steel in both plain and
bronzed effects, ranging i'll price
from $40 to $50, each tiny cutting
done by hand, its price depending
on the number of points and the
fneness of the work. Infinitely care
full have been the workmen of the far
country making each buckle to last
lifetime of wear on smart foot

part in milady's social plans. I'M

2 ECAUSE paper is scarce why
- not wrap and trim the Christmas
gifts with what we nave in the
house? You have no idea of the ma
terials right under your hand until
you look about All the little break
able things can be wrapped in white
cotton the shape of the cotton bales
as they come from the south. Cut
pieces of burlap just the right size
to cover the gifts, leaving the ends
open. Tie four or five pieces of
red string around at even intervals
and you have a perfect small bale.
Make covers for gift books out of
pieces of cloth from the piece. bag,
just as you used to cover your
school books when you we're in
school. Gingham, percale, silk,
stenciled oilcloth-all make charm
ing covers.
Wallpaper makes very effective
wrapping, and there is usually a roll
or two tucked away somewhere in
the house. One very clever young
woman wrapped all her gifts last
year in a roll of gray imitation grass
cloth which she bought for the pur-
pose,l and tied them with cords with
gaily' colored beads on the ends OF
them. She used greeting cards with
Japanese decorations, and the effect
was verv lovely. If you have any
bedroom paper with tiny flowers on
it, it would be very pretty tied with
narrow ribbons to- match. The card
could be decorated with the same
flowers. If you cannot draw you
could cut out the flowers from the
paper and paste them to plain cards
and write your own Christmas
greetings.
Another way to use burlap would
be to. wrap the gifts in il and sew
up the seams in long stitches OF
bright-colored yarn, tying a bow
on the top with little tassels at
the ends.
Plain brown paper saved from the
store packages can be used to make
truly artistic bundles. 1t must be
clean and smooth, OF course. Save all
the 'colorcd covers from magazines
and pamphlets. Stencil the paper
with appropriate designs and Christ
mas greetings and cut them out care
fully with sharp scissors. Paste
pieces of the colored paper under the
cutouts and tic with ribbons to
match
Another way to use brown paper
would be to make up little bags like
