Many children were made to re-
joice over the enormous sacrifices
made by parents and others.
Sam Shadrick's little boy of about

had en- his person, which Santa had
put in his stocking.
One more IL months and Santa

CLEANING YOUR CLOTHES.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: I was careless enough to put away my winter clothes last spring without cleaning them. When got them out of the attic trunks this fall some that l had been planning on would have been hardly suitable nn- less I had been able fo clean them at home. ''-
 I had a dark cloth dress, badly spotted and shiny in fhe back; a dark blue one piece creme de chine which had routed in the sleeves at the armholes from pers- pifation and g chiffon evening dress of blue '2f
 Wonders may be wrought with salt and gasoline in the cleaning of such garments as these and one should go about the task In the following way:
 Go over the cloth dress with a clothes brush to get 1t free from dust, then lay it flat on a table lfrst cover the table with sheets So that the friction may not be so sharp as to injure the surface of the materiaD and sprinkle a thin layer of salt oyer the garment. This salt must previously have been crushed with roll ing pin and but through fine sieve; use about a quart for your dress. With a soft pad made of a mans linen handker. chief, rub the salt we'll into the garment using long sweeping strokes the down: ward way of the garment-neyer in cir cles or across. Go over the entire gar
 ment in this way giving the most soiled portions second rubbing with the salt then slip the dress on a coat hanger and brush out the salt with clothes brush Put newspapers on the floor beneath thu garment. in brushing to receive the soil Remove spots with gasoline applied witt clean cloth. Go over the worn, shiny portions with cloth dipped in ammonis and water and. just before dry. prsal

Dear Social Corner Sisters: As nice
 gift for ycur bachelor friend, take a piece of ribbon about inches wide and
 22 inches long, a piece of flannel the same size, and about two yards of narrow
 ribbon for binding The flannel and rib-
 bon are pasted together with long stitches through the center. closer ones around
 the edge One end of the ribbon is doubled through the width with the fan eighth of an inch from the cut edge. This forms a perfect point Place seam in exact center of ribbon and baste5; all edges are then bound with narrow ribbon. It is more satisfactory to hem the binding by hand, as the foot of the machine pushes up the wool goods. Next turn the square end on the flannel side to form a pocket and overland edges together. Sew about three-eighths of a yard of ribbon

If you say to yourself, or, worse still, to your nearest and dearest, ':oh, dear.

 as we can. Determine in advance lust how much money can be spent on Christ
