TRY THIS REALLY NEW IDEA IN MAKING CHRISTMAS GIFTS
 EN1BROIDER GLOSSY BLACK OuCLOTH WITH BRIGHT YAR
SEWING BAGS, SLIP PIERS, BOOK COVERS AND OTHER ARTICLES CAN BE MADE UN- IOUELY EFFECTIVE

CLEVELAND, O.,-Heres a brand new, unusually effective and happily inexpensive idea in the way of mak- ing Christmas gifts
 Buy a yard of shiny black oiIcloth and two ten yard bolts of one-half inch black cotton binding braid Dig out of your scrap bag all the odds and ends of bright colored yarn left from tying comforts" silk dress patches and bits Of cretonne The silk and cretonne is to be used for lining, and the yarn for embroidering the oilcloth in nothing more complicated than the long and short buttonhole stitch taught in every kindergarten.
 General Direction
 In choosing your oilcloth, which or, dinarily comes in 45-inch width, the thinner and less expensive is the best for this purpose as it clips less easily when a needle is thrust through it.
 In making oilcloth articles cut your pattern first from paper. Then cut the oilcloth outside and the lining Next embroidery the oilcloth as shown in the illustration and explained later. If a bag is in construction and little pockets orlneedlebooks are to be attached to the lining, put them in. Then lay outside and lining together and baste the binding brade on evenly, being careful that a fraction more of the braid laps on the wrong or lining side. This latter precaution will assure the braid's being caught when the whole is stitched on the right side on the sewing machine. Next the parts of the bag. or article being made. which join are whipped together over and over by hand
 Embroidery Bag
 The round bag-see illustration for embroidery hoops and work is a good thing to start with because it is exceedingly simple to make. The back and front are two seven inch circles. A dessert plate was uesd as the ori- ginal pattern. The hnterlinging cir cles which form the conventional flower design are the size of silver dollar. They are worked in all the varying colors and shades possible, seven at the least, while the edge, both back and front, is finished in a drop stitch of several different colors. The set-in strip, which forms the bot tom and sides of this bag is 1 IA | inches wide and goes three-fourths round the circle, leaving one-fourth open at the top. The handle is one l inch wide and F inches long, each end sewed to the center topof the back and front of the bag, thus making a com fortably large loop for opening and carrying.
 Basket Bag"
 Next Is a "basket" bag. the dimen- sions of which are 1-4 inches at the bottom and 12 S-4 inches at the top with 1-2 inch width and 1o-inch depth. The handle is made S-4-in- ches wide, and to give the proper pro portion to the bag. should be long enough to make the entire depth oi bag and handle IT If.
 The interesting thing about these bags is the combination of brigh' wool yarn against the shiny blacl material. On the basket bag, onl! three large conventional flowers ar' Iused. circles of water glass size, witl A scattering of green leaves about then Around the edges of this bag. also, al outlining drop stitch of gray colors i run

Confessions ofaBrida
(C0pTlqht 1920 bY Ihe NeuSpa per Emrpl,e ASOcahon

girl who had married for love, a mother of an adorable son, wasn't quite as happy as she was supposed to be!
 I regarded Martha as the perfect embodiment of all that intelligent women want most in modern life. an example of what feminism and suffrag ism, higher education and beauty, can do for a woman. And 1t didn't seem to me that Life could possibly hurt her.
 She had everything that women de- sire except wealth.
 I saw plainly that my charming friend had changed since I had seen her last. What caused her depression? :? Not business-mere dollars had no power to upset her. Then it must be- her heartl But it was not for me to be curious about my friends heart af- | fairs. I considered myself adroit when 1 implied that our conversation was entirely impersonal:
 Ordinary stories are tame, I fancy, compared to those you hear in your profession.'
 There are no ordinary stories! There are no duplicates in human ex- perience any more than in human faces" said Martha. Everybody has a romance. To every man and woman there comes a supreme hour, sometimes of joy and sometimes of misery"
 And we never know what to do with our big hours when they arrive" ventured. Tt seems to me we make an awful mess both of our joys and sor- rows from-from sheer ignorance!"
 Say, rather, from sheer selfishness! From human greedl We want the whole world for playground and bout when we can't have it! After all, we are tiny human atoms and can fill, at best, only a nooki But because we can't fill the world, we rage and ruin the nook"
 glanced at Martha and decided it was time to think of pleasanter things.
 Flows Lorrie?" I inquired. We were all delighted when the Palmers gave our family name to their son.
 'In the best shape, thank you. Outer, sweeter, smarter every day!" Martha's s lips found their soft curve again. You recall his Christopher Columbus spoon ? One of the set of old silver, with DOT trait handles, which Madame Lorimer gave him?"
 nodded
 Really, you must let me tell. you how clever Lorrie is! The other day that four-year- asked, Where | Christo Clumbis live?' I explained that he isn't living any more. Me sorry!' said my son. Me did want to give him | back hims spooni'
 We screamed with laughter and both of us would have profited by it, if l | had not asked, carelessly: And how is Ewart?' We'll" was the wife's brief response
 A silence followed the monosyllable A dullness, a sadness, replaced the ma ternal softness which had glowed in Marthas face.
 Martha was off guard with me, l knew, so completely off guard that she let me perceive her heartbreak in the tone of her voice, in every variation of | her features.
 | I asked myself what need Fate had to be so vicious that it couldn't spare at least one girl from the general hurts and the doubts and fears which bese' the paths of most of my married friends.

Another gift that can't very well help being appreciated is a gayly stenciled oilcloth cover for a telephone book. A telephone screen decorated to match the book cover will make perfect remembrance.
 What They Cost
 Some six or eight really artistic and useful gifts may be constructed from the above outlay at an exceedingly moderate cost. Black oilcloth of the grade required costs from 75 cents to S1. a yard. Slipper soles are 10 cents pair Binding braid is about 30 cents bodt. Ten yard skeins Of yarn (quite enough of one color) can be purchased at 10 cents each. If you have to buy yarn select the brightest primary colors. Seven or eight shades will give ample chance for all over tapping circles to be of different color. Work purple next to pink, pink followed by blue, by red. by yellow. etc.
